Environmental Product Usage

Swimming pool water depends both on alkalinity and pH to maintain the balance needed for sanitizers to work and swimmers to enjoy their time in the pool.

SesquiTM sodium sesquicarbonate provides this balance in a single treatment product.  How?  By working on both pH and alkalinity at the same time.  SesquiTM does this by combining the alkalinity reserve of bicarb and the pH increasing power of soda ash.  It provides this combination in a pure, sparkling white product that is safe and easy to use.

Chemically speaking, SesquiTM  sodium sesquicarbonate is a distinct alkali product built by linking one part of bicarb (for alkalinity control) with one part of soda ash (to increase pH).  It's able to lock in alkalinity because of its buffering power.  And it can neutralize the acid introduced from sanitizers, swimmer load, or even rain and dirt in the pool.  You set and get the right pH with one treatment; the first time and every time.

What's more, SesquiTM is a single crystalline material, not a mix or a blend.  That means it's uniform, easy to handle and pour, and won't separate during use.  SesquiTM is already hydrated, so it dissolves easily and it's less prone to lump up during storage.  Adding Sesqui TM to a pool is a snap - it dissolves rapidly, lessening the chances of pool clouding and making for trouble-free application.  So look to Sesqui TM as your one-step solution for pH and alkalinity control.
