use muratic acid to bring down Ph and TA
No
baking soda
Shocking a pool with products like chlorine can actually lower the pH and alkalinity levels of the pool water temporarily. It is recommended to test the water and adjust the alkalinity levels if necessary after shocking the pool to maintain proper water balance.
It is used to lower both ph and alkalinity.
To adjust pH and/or lower alkalinity.
Yes it does. Some pool management systems use CO2 to lower the pH of the water. Of course if it is used regularly the Alkalinity will soon fall. Michael
Add rain water this has very low alkalinity
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.
Alkalinity is common baking soda. Hatawa
To raise chlorine levels, you can add chlorine shock or chlorine tablets to the pool. To lower pH and alkalinity, you can use muriatic acid or pH decreaser. It's important to test the water regularly and make gradual adjustments to avoid overcorrecting levels.
1-2 gallons of muriatic acid will break down the buffer solution(alkalinity in the water). Will then probably have to raise pH back up
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.
