Eye and skin irritation. There is an added risk that you are damaging the pool equipment and plaster. If you have a pool heater then you are stripping copper out of the heat exchanger inside the heater. This could prove to be very costly. How much do pool heaters cost these days? Your pH should be no lower than 7.2 and no higher than 7.8. Ideal is 7.5. That is very close to that of the human body.

What to do if pH is low?
ph in pool to low said not to use baking soda what to use
Why can't you get in pool if the pH is low?
You can still get in the pool. The chemicals work best when the pH is balanced so add PH PLUS. If the PH is really low it is very acidic and could burn the eyes a bit
How do you fix low stabilizer in your pool and low pH low alkalinity?
make sure chlorine is is at 1-3ppm, if pH is very low raise chlorine slightly higer than average. shock the pool after and run filter for over night. If pool still not stabilize then add PH high chemical.
What causes a PH type wrinkle in a pool treated with Baquicil?
Actually there is such thing as a pH wrinkle, its caused from low PH.
If you have a low pH in your swimming pool what chemical would you add?
Potash
Why is Chlorine quickly evaporating out of pool?
There are no shortcuts. Get your Alkalinity right, then the PH. If the PH is "bouncing," your choline will spike high and low until you get the PH right. The PH will not be right until the alkalinity is right. If all that is right, you are low on stabilizer.
I am using a lot of acid in my pool?
That Acid is called Muriatic Acid. You put it in your swimming pool to lower the PH of the water. At lower PH Levels, the chlorine you use to sanitize the pool is more active, as a disinfectant. You MUST be careful not to put too MUCH Muriatic Acid in your pool! PH that is too low will create potentially deadly fumes, so test your water. Low pH is corrosive to plaster and metal pool parst.
How do I raise pool acidity level?
If the pool is too acidic, pH is low, add soda ash (sodium carbonate). If it is too alkaline, pH is high, add muriatic acid.
Why is pool Ph low and chlorine high though you have not put chlorine in for weeks?
Do you have a chlorine generator? No.
We just bought a new above ground pool and have it nearly ready to use. We still have to do the ph testing; what is the average reading we should be comfortable with?
The proper pH level is around 7.4 to 7.6 If the pH is reading, 8 to 14 that would mean the pool has a high pH level. But if you have a low ph reading then your chlorine will dissipate quickly. To keep the swimmers in your pool comfortable and to keep your pool equipment in good shape, it is vital that the ph reading is balanced.
The pH on my pool is low and as I use baquacil what should I add to it?
You would be safest using Baquacil pH Increaser, which is a high purity, highly active dry alkaline product used to raise pool pH. In non-Baquacil pool water, both Soda Ash and Hydrochloric acid are used to raise pH levels. Pool shops are a good place to seek advice also.
Cloudy pool free chlorine is not reading stabilizer is low but pH is ok?
Add chlorine and stabilizer.
