ARM & HAMMER Clear Balance Tablets (24-pack) — Easy pH & alkalinity care for above-ground pools

Keeping an above ground pool balanced is the secret to clear water, comfy swim feel, and longer-lasting equipment. ARM & HAMMER Clear Balance Tablets (24 pack) are baking-soda based alkalinity and pH maintenance tablets that make it simple to maintain stable pool chemistry — especially helpful for busy above-ground pool owners who want low-fuss pool care.

What they are — and why above-ground pool owners like them

Clear Balance Tablets are concentrated baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) in tablet form designed to gently raise/maintain total alkalinity and help stabilize pH so your chlorine can work more effectively. The tablets come in a handy 24-count package that’s easy to store and use. For above-ground pools (where water volume is smaller and chemistry can swing faster), a tablet approach removes measuring mistakes and saves time.

How Clear Balance works (plain language)

Baking soda raises a pool’s total alkalinity, which acts as a buffer for pH. When alkalinity is in the right range, your pool’s pH stays steadier and chlorine stays effective — meaning fewer headaches with cloudy water, eye irritation, and corrosion of metal parts. ARM & HAMMER’s formula packages that baking soda into pre-measured tablets that dissolve slowly and evenly.

Quick benefits for above-ground pools:

• No measuring, less mess: Tablets are convenient — drop and go (or use a floater) rather than scoop and stir.

• Stabilizes pH & alkalinity: Helps keep pH in the sweet spot so chlorine works better and water stays crystal clear.

• Protects surfaces: Proper alkalinity reduces corrosion and vinyl/plaster stress — useful for fragile above-ground liners.

• Simple dosing approach: Many users pair one Clear Balance tablet with each chlorine tablet or follow label directions for consistent maintenance.

How to use Clear Balance Tablets (above-ground pool tips)

1. Test first. Always measure your pool’s total alkalinity and pH before adding anything. Aim for alkalinity roughly in the 80–120 ppm range.

2. Follow the label. ARM & HAMMER recommends following package directions — many owners place one Clear Balance tablet per chlorine tablet or use a floating feeder. Don’t exceed label recommendations.

3. Add away from swimmers. Put tablets in a floater or a skimmer (only if label allows) and run the pump to circulate.

4. Retest after 24 hours. After the tablets dissolve and circulate, retest and adjust if needed.

5. Don’t use in saltwater pools. Clear Balance is not intended for saltwater systems — check the FAQ before using with a salt chlorinator.

Safety & storage:

• Store tablets in a cool, dry place and keep the container sealed.

• Keep out of reach of children and pets.

• Always follow label safety instructions and wear gloves if handling multiple tablets directly.

  
  

Real-world results (what to expect!)

For above-ground pool owners, using Clear Balance regularly can reduce pH drift, cut down on “chasing pH” fixes, and make your chlorine last longer — which often means clearer water and fewer chemical shocks. While tablets simplify maintenance, periodic full water tests still keep things safest.

Quick FAQ

Q: Will Clear Balance change my pH?

A: Yes — it’s designed to gently raise alkalinity and help bring pH into the ideal 7.4–7.8 range when used as directed.

Q: How many tablets should I use?

A: Follow the package directions. A common approach is to use one Clear Balance tablet per chlorine tablet or use as directed for your pool gallons. Retest after 24 hours.

Q: Can I use this with a saltwater pool?

A: No — ARM & HAMMER’s FAQ notes Clear Balance is not for saltwater pools.

Bottom line — is it right for your above-ground pool?

If you want an easy, low-mess way to keep alkalinity and pH steady — especially for small to medium above ground pools where chemistry swings faster — ARM & HAMMER Clear Balance Tablets are a smart addition to your seasonal pool care kit. They’re convenient, baking-soda based, and designed to make routine balancing simpler so you spend more time swimming and less time fussing with measurements.
