The use of small amounts of muriatic acid added to the water will help reduce or lower the pH and alkalinity. Keep testing and adding acid frequently until your have reached 7.6 - 7.8 range.

The common name for HCl when used to lower pH in swimming pools is muriatic acid.
Chlorine.
You have to know what you are doing. The addition of muriatic acid lowers the pH and total alkalinity in swimming pools.
Using sodium bicarbonate to lower pH in a swimming pool is not effective. Sodium bicarbonate, or baking soda, is typically used to raise pH levels in pools. To lower pH in a pool, an acid such as muriatic acid or sodium bisulfate should be used.
The websites in Related links are useful. They have the information you need for soil and swimming pools.
Muriatic acid is commonly used in swimming pools to lower the pH levels and alkalinity of the water, which helps prevent the growth of algae and bacteria. It is also used to clean and maintain the pool's surfaces and equipment.
PH levels make sure water is not to acid.
Ph readings can vary from near 2.5 or lower to 8.0 depending on the test device used. The proper pH should be 7.4 to 7.6 ppm
well if the PH is above 7 it is a base and if it is below it is an acid... if we swam in swimming pools that were acidic... that would be bad. i don't know about landfill sites...
To lower the pH of your pool from 8.2, you can add muriatic acid or sodium bisulfate. Follow manufacturer guidelines and test the pH frequently to ensure it is within the recommended range of 7.2-7.8 for swimming pools.
Yes it can be, but using chemicals manufactured for the swimming pool will help you not to have problems with clouding or unneeded filter use.
7.4-7.6
