Does chlorine lower PH in the pool?
No
What does adding caustic soda to water raise or lower the pH?
I'm a chemist waste water operator and we use caustic soda to raise pH levels and sulfuric acid to lower pH levels
What effect dose pH on chlorine?
The most important variable, that is also the most misunderstood, is pH (Hydrogen Potential/Power). What actually is pH? The scientific definition is the logarithm of the reciprocal of the hydrogen ion concentration. Or more simply stated pH is a number between 0 and 14, denoting various degrees of acidity or alkalinity. Neutral water has a pH of 7. Water below 7 is acidic and becomes more acidic as it approached zero. Water above 7 is alkaline and alkalinity increases as it approaches 14. What is the pH of your water and how does it improve or impair the chlorine's ability to be effective? When the pH of your water is 7 or below, chlorine will act primarily as a sanitizer. At this level, it is very effect at killing bacteria. At 7.4, chlorine will act equally as a sanitizer and oxidizer. Above 7.8, the chlorine will act principally as an oxidizer. The pH of chlorine is 11.7. It would seem logical that adding chlorine into water having a neutral pH would make the water more alkaline and this is true in a majority of the cases. Keeping this in mind, it may be necessary to lower the pH of water with an acid in order to increase the efficacy of chlorine in the killing of bacteria if your water has a high pH to begin with. When chlorine is added to water it becomes hypochlorite ions (OCI) and hypochlorous acid (HOCI) in a quantity determined by the pH as indicated by the chart below: pH OCI HOCI 6.0 3.50% 96.50% 6.5 10.00% 90.00% 7.0 27.50% 72.50% 7.5 50.00% 50.00% 8.0 78.50% 21.50% 8.5 90.00% 10.00%
What is the pH of chlorine?
The pH of chlorine is 12.5
Describes a solution with a pH lower than the pH of distilled water?
Water is neutral (pH 7). Lower numbers than 7 are acids- the lower the number, the stronger the acid.

Treatment of water with chlorine is formed more HOCl at low pH is true or false?
True because it is an acid, which is, on the pH scale, pH 1-6. Once merged with water, it will lower pH to about pH 4-5; and raise substance levels.
Does chlorine raise or lower pH?
depending on the volume of chlorine you put in your pool. Chlorination or simply the adding of chlorine to water is extensively used in many water treatment facilities primarily to disinfect or kill harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria.
Do you still need to add pH calcium alkaline chemicals to a salt water pool as the same as a chlorine pool?
Yes you still need to control the PH of your water weather it is a salt water pool or chlorine tablet pool. with salt water pools the chlorine produced by the chlorine generator is more dependant on a lower pH, around 7.2 to 7.6 if pH goes to high the chlorine gets locked up and cant work. you can find more detailed information on our web site at www.cristal-clear-pools.com. hope this helps you.
