Arm & Hammer pH Maintenance Tablets — 24 Count, Baking Soda Formula for Stable Pool Alkalinity

Keeping a backyard pool or hot tub balanced shouldn’t take a chemistry degree. These 24 tablets from ARM & Hammer use baking soda–based buffering to support pH and total alkalinity, reducing the need for constant manual adjustments. Simply place one Clear Balance tablet in the same dispenser or skimmer as a chlorine tablet, and the formula works to stabilize water chemistry so your sanitizer can perform more efficiently.

How quickly will these tablets affect my pool’s pH and alkalinity?

Tablets are designed to work steadily over time rather than producing an instant spike. With regular placement—one Clear Balance tablet per chlorine tablet—water chemistry is buffered continuously, which helps prevent sudden swings after heavy use or warm weather.

• Use alongside your routine chlorine schedule for ongoing stabilization
• Best for weekly maintenance rather than one-time shock corrections
• Gradual dosing reduces the risk of overcorrection and uneven chemistry

How do I use these tablets safely and effectively?

These pre-measured tablets remove the need to weigh or dissolve powders. Drop one Clear Balance tablet into the same floating dispenser, in-line feeder, or skimmer you use for chlorine tablets; avoid mixing with undissolved granular chemicals.

• Place one tablet for each chlorine tablet in your dispenser or skimmer
• Test pH and alkalinity weekly with standard pool test strips or kits
• Keep tablets in original, dry container and out of direct sun until use

Will Clear Balance change how much chlorine I need?

Clear Balance doesn’t replace chlorine; it helps chlorine work more predictably by keeping pH and alkalinity in range. When pH remains stable, chlorine stays effective longer, which can reduce the frequency of corrective dosing, not routine sanitation.

• Supports optimal sanitizer performance by stabilizing pH
• May reduce the need for corrective chemical additions after testing
• Continue regular chlorine maintenance and follow label directions

Will these tablets harm pool surfaces or swimmers?

The formula is baking soda–based and intended to be gentle on pool finishes and swim comfort when used as directed. Maintaining proper alkalinity and pH helps protect metal and liner surfaces from corrosion and keeps water from irritating eyes and skin.

• Formulated to support balanced water that’s gentler for swimmers
• Helps reduce corrosive conditions when used within recommended dosing
• Not a sanitizer—continue standard sanitation practices for safety

Who is this for? ARM & Hammer Clear Balance tablets are ideal for pool and hot tub owners who want a low-effort way to keep water chemistry stable: families who use their pool often, seasonal homeowners looking for steady maintenance, and anyone who prefers pre-measured dosing to simplify routine care. They pair well with standard chlorine tablet programs and are a practical option for above-ground and in-ground pools where steady pH and alkalinity improve comfort and sanitizer efficiency.
