What will result if sodium bicarbonate is used to lower ph in a swimming pool?
Bicarbonate will RAISE the pH and total 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 lower alkalinity and raise pH?
To lower the alkalinity in a pool you can use PH Minus or Muriatic acid. When adding pour into one spot in the deep end of the pool away from circulation, make sure the circulation system is running. Do not apply near metal fittings or near the pool skimmer. Also make sure you follow directions when using the product.ANS2Can't be done. It is like slowing down while you run faster. Lowering the alkalinity is the same as decreasing the pH. The less alkaline the water, the lower the pH.
Does chlorine lower PH in the pool?
No
How do you lower chlorine level in pool?
You add water to the pool
Will chlorine shock raise the TA?
Chlorine will not raise the total alkalinity level in a pool. However, if you are trying to raise the total alkalinity, you can add small amounts of baking soda.

How do you lower the alkalinity in a 21ft round pool?
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

How do you fix low stabilizer in your pool and low pH low alkalinity?
make sure chlorine is is at 1-3ppm, if pH is very low raise chlorine slightly higer than average. shock the pool after and run filter for over night. If pool still not stabilize then add PH high chemical.
If my pool is cloudy do you raise or lower pH of a pool?
I would first increase the time the pump runs to 8 to 12 hours. Then adjust the chlorine levels to 3.0 to 5.0 ppm or higher. Run the pump/filter 24/7 until you reach crystal clear water quality. Then as the chlorine levels drop to below 3.0 adjust the pH and total alkalinity.
Will adding a flocculant to the pool water lower the Total Alkalinity?
No
What do i do if Ph is low alkalinity is low chlorine level is fine in pool?
add some form of alkalinity booster for sure. bring it too about 110ppm, chlorine has a naturally high pH, but the higher alkalinity addition will stop acidic compounds from attacking the pH any further. depending on how low the pH is though you may have to add a pH booster, take your water into a pool shop for an in depth water analysis.
How do you stop zoological growth in pool?
Proper chemistry: pH, Chlorine, Alkalinity, TDS. Once all of that is okay, shock the pool once in a while with chlorine if need be.
What household item can be used to lower pool Alkalinity?
baking soda
What does blue mean on the alkalinity pool test?
That usually means high chlorine. Try doubling the amount of chlorine neutralizer on a second test.
