Will pH minus lower pool alkalinity it is very high 300 at the same time the PH is very low 7.0. what needs to be done?
Yes. Adding pH minus (Hydrochloric acid) will lower your alkalinity. You should get it down to the 100 range or so, and the aerate the water to raise the pH to acceptable levels again.
How much does it cost to have soil testing done for your garden?
You can buy a cheap meter to test your soil yourself for around 20$. It would usually cost around 100$ to have the soil tested professionally, although many lawn care specialists will include this in their package.
How do you reduce the alkalinity in the pool?
Muriatic acid will lower the Total Alkalinity. Dosage is 21 oz. per 10,000 gallons will lower TA 10 ppm. Add in the deep end of the pool, away from skimmers and lights. If using in a vinyl or fiberglass pool per dilute before adding to the pool. Note that muriatic acid will also lower th pH. You will need to adjust the pH using Soda Ash (sodium carbonate)Dosage is 6 oz. per 10,000 gallons will raise pH .2 ppm. Your pH is the opposite side of the same coin with alkalinity. To raise it use Sodium Bicarb. With the pump motor off and water motionless, add the bicarb in the deep-end of the pool, in one spot. Let it sit for 4 hours or more. Turn the pump on and allow to circulate for 2-3 hours, then re-test. Alkalinity should be 80-100, not 150 or higher. To lower alkalinity, do the same, just use acid.

Who makes the best swimming pool acid?
You know acid is pretty much acid. However there are different concentrations of dry acid. Look for something 88-100% active ingredient. 100% would be the most efficient. This is very safe to handle but cannot be effectively used to lower the Total Alkalinity. The other option is Muriatic Acid or a product call Aqua Magic. Muriatic Acid is hazardous to handle so use gloves and goggles. The Aqua Magic is safer to handle but still use gloves and goggles. This form of acid is more cost effective and can be used to lower the Total Alkalinity if necessary.
How many linear feet you surround 100 feet of rectangular lawn?
It depends on the shape. Let's say your lawn is 1 foot by 100 feet, which equals 100 square feet, then the surrounding measurement, called the 'perimeter', is 1+ 1+ 100+ 100 = 202 feet. Or, if the lawn is, say, 4 feet by 25 feet, which equals 100 square feet, the perimeter is 4+ 4+ 25+ 25 = 58 feet. If the lawn is perfectly square, its size would be 10 feet by 10 feet, and the perimeter is 10+ 10+ 10+ 10+ = 40 feet. The same is true for all dimensions in between: the perimeter changes as the shape of the lawn changes.

How to lower the pH without lowering alkalinity?
baking soda is the chemical that is used to raise your pH and alk. when both of these are in range they "buffer each other" which means it usually will stay constant. I also use baking soda...Sam's Club sells it in 12lb bags...it usually has a 'key' on the back of the bag of how much to use for what size pool. It also helps your skin stay soft from the swim! Baking Soda is great if you need to raise BOTH the pH and the alkalinity at the same time. If your alkalinity is at the correct level, and your pH is low, you do not want to raise the alkalinity, so do not use Baking Soda.... Instead, use "20 Mule Team BORAX" - half a box at a time, wait a couple of hours and re-test each time. Make sure you buy the "20 Mule Team BORAX" and not any kind of Detergent with Borax in it. That will give you a mess. The "20 Mule Team BORAX" can be found in the Laundry Additives section in your local super market for a fraction of the cost of the pH-up products, and will work wonderfully without raising your alkalinity to harden your water too much. It also leaves your skin soft after a swim, like the Baking Soda.
