Best Answer

Liquid chlorine raises the pH since liquid (sodium hypochloride) tablet or granular (calcium hypochloride) are basically alkaline, continued use increases the pH above 7.6. to counteract this an acid must be used.

Add sodium bicarb to raise pH. Chlorine will go down by itself or add sodium thiosulfate


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.


How Does chlorine Affect Acidity levels?

Depends on the type of chlorine you are using as each type of chlorine product has it's own pH level. i.e Liquid chlorine (sodium hypochlorite) has a natural pH of about 14. Trichlo products have a pH of about 3 Dichlor products have a pH of about 6.8 Gas Chlorine has a pH of <1 So based on the above lets say you are using liquid chlorine in a concrete pool, the pH will tend to be high (alkaline) due to the high pH of the chlorine product coupled with the fact the pool is concrete.


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.

Does chlorine affect alkalinity?

Chlorine will indeed affect alkalinity. It will lower the alkalinity. If you add chlorine gas to water, it will create hypochlorous acid and hydrochloric acid. Cl2 + H2O <-> HCl + HOCl Sodium Hypochlorite (Bleach) will do the opposite and raise pH.
