Add rain water this has very low alkalinity
How do you lower alkalinity but not change pH in a swimming pool?
Initially, you can't. What you do to lower alkalinity is first lower the pH to under 7.2, but not lower than 6.9. Then you aerate the pool, by creating bubbles with your brush, or by running a water feature, if you have one. This will lower your alkalinity. Maintain this lower pH and aerating until you get your alkalinity where you want it. Then retest your pH. If it is now too low, you add Mule Team Borax, say a 1/4 a cup, and then retest. The borax will raise your pH without raising your alkalinity. See the poolforum.com for more help if needed.

How do you raise the chlorine and lower the pH alkalinity in your pool?

How much muriatic acid do you add and how often to lower 260 alkalinity in 15000 gallon pool?
To lower alkalinity in a 15,000 gallon pool by 260, you would typically add about 3 quarts of muriatic acid. The frequency of adding muriatic acid to lower alkalinity depends on your current levels and how quickly they rise, usually every few days to a week. It's recommended to test your water regularly and adjust the treatment as needed.
