Acetic acid (vinegar) technically could, but you'd need a HUGE amount of it, as vinegar is not an especially strong acid. Muriatic acid or Sodium bisulphate would do a better job.

How do you lower pH level in pool?
You can lower the PH level by using this stuff called PH Down. Go to a local pool store and ask about it.
Does chlorine lower PH in the pool?
No
How could you raise the pH of an acid like vinegar to a neutral or higher pH?
lower PH
Is the pH in vinegar higher than 7?
No - vinegar is a (weak) acid, so it's pH is lower than 7. The actual pH of vinegar varies depending on the type and dilusion. Substances with a pH above 7 are "basic." Bleach is a good example.
How do you lower the Ph in the inground swimming pool?
add a PH reducer chemical
If you put vinegar on a bee sting would it raise the pH scale?
Adding vinegar to anything will only serve to lower the pH not raise it (acidic substances are of lower pH and alkaline substances have a higher pH).Bee stings are acidic and treatment of them requires the neutralisation of the venom by raising it to neutral.
Which would raise pH more ammonia vinegar coffee or lemon juice?
Ammonia, which is basic, would raise pH. Vinegar, coffee and lemon juice are all acidic and would cause pH to be lower.
Does vinegar contain a base?
Vinegar has a pH of about 2.4. Any pH lower than 7 is an acid, any pH above 7 is a base. Vinegar is acidic. It is mixture and contains acetic acid, CH3COOH (a weak acid) as the component responsible for the smell and the acidity.
How do you lower the pH in a pool?
Muriatic Acid....Be real careful though.
What is the approximate pH of vinegar?
The pH value of vinegar is 2.The pH value of vinegar is 2.(Acidic)posted by anonymousBy the way, there is a bunch of sites that say different things. The one I just looked at says the pH value of vinegar is actually 3.(Still acidic though)posted by the same anonymousAnything with a pH lower then 7 is a base and anything higher then 7 is an acid.posted by the same anonymous again!Actually, its the opposite. Anything higher than 7 is a base and anything lower is acidicActually, 7 is neutral, 0-6 is an acid and 8-14 are alkaline.
How much baking soda do you add to lower the pH level in an above ground pool?
Baking soda will almost certainly raise the pH level in a pool.
How much muriatic acid is needed to lower PH?
It depends on the pH level in the pool and the gallons of the pools, also how many ppm you want to lower it.
