Is guardex pH increaser compatible with baquacil?
is guardex pH increaser compatible with bacquacil
Why did your pool water turn green immediately after adding pH plus?
Your pool water turned green immediately after adding pH Plus because the chemical had increased the pH level to high. You may need to adjust the alkalinity levels of the water using another pool chemical such as pH Minus of pH Alkalinity Plus.
Is alkaline increaser the same as PH decreaser?
No - Alkaline is on the high end of the pH scale, acidic is on the low end of the pH scale. Use a pH decreaser to lower the alkaline levels.
How much pH should you add to a 4440 gallon's above ground pool?
You want your pH to be around 7.4. This can be done by using a pH decreaser or increaser product
How do you raise pH level in pool?
You can use soda ash (sodium carbonate), sold as pH Increaser, pH UP or Arm & Hammer Washing soda. You can also use borax, sold as 20 Mule Team Borax. Sodium bicarbonate, sold as baking soda, Alkalinity Increaser or Alk Up, will raise pool pH levels, but not very efficiently.
How soon can you swim after adding Ph?
You should wait a couple of hours before swimming in a pool after adding PH minus. Check your water before swimming to ensure that the PH has been lowered.
How can the pH of a spa be raised?
Small amounts of the chemical Sodium Carbonate, available at your local pool store usually packaged under a name like pH up or pH increaser.
How pH affects copper corrosion?
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.
Why would adding an acid or base lower the pH in a solution?
Adding an acid to a solution will lower it's Ph, but adding a base will raise it's Ph.
How does phosphate levels affect the alkalinity of water?
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.
How do you raise pH levels in swimming pools?
Soda ash (sodium carbonate), sold as pH Increaser, pH UP or Arm & Hammer Washing soda, will do the trick. You can also use borax, sold as 20 Mule Team Borax.
Why would you use alkalinity increaser?
Alkalinity should be maintained between 80-120 ppm to act as a buffer for pH. Without the buffer effect your pH would have more frequent and wider changes.
