To control the alkalinity of boiler water which is directly related to pH control. Too alkaline will cause stainless steel to brittle while too low alkalinity will cause corrossion.
Chlorine will indeed affect alkalinity. It will lower the alkalinity. If you add chlorine gas to water, it will create hypochlorous acid and hydrochloric acid. Cl2 + H2O <-> HCl + HOCl Sodium Hypochlorite (Bleach) will do the opposite and raise pH.
At water treatment plants, calcium hydroxide is added in order to up the alkalinity and pH of the water. This makes the water less corrosive to pipes. Aluminum sulfate is used to make impurities coagulate.
high temperatures can sometimes set fires where dry grass is located. it can cause drouts where there is no water. it evaporates water as well
Hydrofracturing is a process that involves injecting water under high pressure into a formation of bedrock through the well. This is the ideal solution for wells that run out of water.
corrosion problems because of the acidity as well as the other water treatments may not work if the alkalinity is out of target
High Alkalinity will keep your pool water on the higher end of the pH scale, or more basic rather than acidic. High Alkalinity is not terrible but there are two things that can happen. If the water is constantly basic a "scale" can develop. The other thing that can happen is you will notice your pool will get cloudy when you add pH increaser, alkalinity increaser or calcium hardness increaser when either one of those three are on the high side already.
it might not be to high of a ph but could be a very hot water in a cooler room that is how some pools r cloudy
phenolphthalein alkalinity is due to hydroxide n carbonate salts in water...nd total alkalinity is mainly due to bicarbonate salts in water..
High alkalinity
The nature of gunite pools is the make up of the gunite - it has lime in it. It has high alkaline levels. Also, the make up water may have high levels of alkalinity. Adjust your pH and adjust as needed with muratic acid and monitor your alkalinity by using a test kit.
Calcium and carbonate (a component of alkalinity) can precipitate from the water column if the product of the concentration of each of them rises too high.
Add rain water this has very low alkalinity
Muriatic acid is what is used to reduce alkalinity in water.
A double indicator is used to find the alkalinity of the water sample to prevent errors.
add some form of alkalinity booster for sure. bring it too about 110ppm, chlorine has a naturally high pH, but the higher alkalinity addition will stop acidic compounds from attacking the pH any further. depending on how low the pH is though you may have to add a pH booster, take your water into a pool shop for an in depth water analysis.
Alkalinity of water is its acid-neutralizing capacity. It is the sum of all titratable bases. Because the alkalinity of many surface water is primarily a function of carbonate, bicarbonate and hydroxide content, it is taken as an indication of the concentration of these constituent.
