by adding sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate
Answer by TSYou can use sodium carbonate (soda ash -- Washing Soda at Walmart) or you can use 20 Mule Team Borax Laundry Booster. It can be found at many grocery stores. Try using the same amount as you would with PH plus 1 lb. to 10,000 gallons, and wait 2 to 4 hrs. Then check your PH reading. If it's still low, add some more until you get it to 7.2 to 7.8 range. Caution - check your alkalinity before using borax, because borax raises PH only, without affecting your alkalinity much. If your alkalinity is also low you can use baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to raise your alkalinity and PH. Baking Soda raises PH and Alkalinity at the same time. Baking Soda has the same ingredients as Alkalinity plus, but half the price. Take a look at this web site for more information on Borax: www.poolsolutions.com/gd/borax_20mule.html

How do you lower pH levels in a inground pool?
Add acid, Muriatic acid works best but Dry Acid is also used.
How do you raise the pH levels in your pool?
raising the pH level of the swimming poolThe recommended pH-range for a swimming pool is between 7.2 and 7.8. To raise or lower pH, alkali such as sodium carbonate (soda ash) or sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) will added to the water. thanks hope it helps you heaps!!
Does lime raise or lower pH levels?
Raise
How do you raise pH level in pool?
You can use soda ash (sodium carbonate), sold as pH Increaser, pH UP or Arm & Hammer Washing soda. You can also use borax, sold as 20 Mule Team Borax. Sodium bicarbonate, sold as baking soda, Alkalinity Increaser or Alk Up, will raise pool pH levels, but not very efficiently.
What does adding caustic soda to water raise or lower the pH?
I'm a chemist waste water operator and we use caustic soda to raise pH levels and sulfuric acid to lower pH levels

How do you lower the Ph in the inground swimming pool?
add a PH reducer chemical
What are the proper levels of PH alkalinity cyanuric acid chlorine and bromine for an inground saltwater pool?
Same as for any other pool. Ph = 7.6; alk. = 80-120; cyan. = 50 to 75. Why are you using bromine with a chlorine salt system?

The pH on my pool is low and as I use baquacil what should I add to it?
You would be safest using Baquacil pH Increaser, which is a high purity, highly active dry alkaline product used to raise pool pH. In non-Baquacil pool water, both Soda Ash and Hydrochloric acid are used to raise pH levels. Pool shops are a good place to seek advice also.

Why can't you raise the pH level in my pool?
Because you're a doucher with a pool.
Raise pH level in swimming pool?
Soda ash (sodium carbonate) raises pH without significantly affecting Total Alkalinity (T/A). Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) raises T/A without significantly affecting pH. pH levels below 7.0 should be corrected immediately to prevent damage to equipment and the pool surface.
Why is the pH in my pool always high?
High chlorine levels will make the pH in your pool high. You can add borates to help stabilize the pH level in your pool.
