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.
You want your pH to be around 7.4. This can be done by using a pH decreaser or increaser product
go to the local market that you get chlorine at and pool shock. buy test strips that test the water's chlorine, and just add an extra chlorine tablet each time you add chlorine. if its still really low and not even close to the amount you may want to add pool shock
Getting a water test at your local pool store would be the first step. Second if it still is low alkalinity add alkalinity increaser. Also can add baking soda is the same stuff. If it says 50lbs you need of Alk. you will need to break that into 3'rds. So every 4 to 6 hours add a third. Have the pump running and you should be good to go after that.
You can add the increaser directly pool. The chlorine can be added in a couple different ways. Tablets can be used in a floating container or put in the skimmer basket. (I prefer the floating container. Granular chlorine can be added directly in the pool. Always make sure your pH is correct before you add any chlorine or you'll be wasting your money. It's a good idea to take a sample of your water to local pool store dffor testing. It really helps me out.
Most authorities advise adding chlorine (and other chemicals) in the evening. I would not add any chemicals during the hottest part of the day or when the sun is beating down. Most people prefer to add pool chemicals at night after they're through with the pool so the chemicals can work overnight.
No. In military time, you add 12 hours to the time you are currently in.
Nothing
u can buy clorine for fishtanks at most pet or fish shops and put however much it says and add it that's how to make it go away!
A lower pH will erode a copper heat exchanger in a heater very quickly. I will also then, increase the copper level in the pool water and will make it difficult to add pH increaser or TA increaser. Both chemicals will stay out of solution. Once they do deslove the copper drops out and the will stain the liner black. The best solution is to keep an eye on your pH especially when you have a heater.
