The acidic nature of the aquarium is due to the residual effects of the feed and chemicals used as fertilizers and antibiotics, decomposed dead ones and excreta of the fishes itself. The acidity of the tank can be removed by applying lime or slaked lime.

What is PH up?
High alkalinity
What is the strength of an acidic solution called?
i believe its called alkalinity
What is active alkalinity?
Alkalinity is divided into two main parts, active and inactive. Active alkalinity titrates to a pH of 8.4 and is responsible for the cleaning action of alkaline products.
What does alkalinty mean?
You mean alkalinity? Alkalinity measures the ability of a solution to neutralize acids to the equivalence point of carbonate or bicarbonate. The alkalinity is equal to the stoichiometric sum of the bases in solution.
How do you fix a chemical imbalance?
OK you've got it the wrong way round. Alkalinity isn't quite that. It is "Total Alkalinity". To lower Total Alkalinity you must add pH Buffer. Your pH is way way too low. To raise it, you must add Soda Ash. Confusing terms but that is how it is. Most pool shops offer free water testing so they will actually tell you what you need and how much. It depends on what chemical your talking about. Chlorine, pH, alkalinity, or hardness.
Your alkalinity is really high How do you lower it without lowering the pH too?
pH refers to the level of acidity or alkalinity. less than 7 is acidic, more than 7 is alkaline. if you want to lower your alkalinity, add muriatic acid. It will lower the pH though
What is PH up?
High alkalinity
How is calcium precipitated?
Calcium and carbonate (a component of alkalinity) can precipitate from the water column if the product of the concentration of each of them rises too high.
If my pool has too much alkalinity what should you do?
add acid
Add acid in pool?
acid is added to a pool when alkalinity is too high. Take a sample of pool water to your pool shop and have it tested by them. they will tell you what is required.
Why can you not keep chlorine in your pool?
Low Cyanuric Acid or (Stabalizer). PH & Alkalinity too high. High amounts of oxidizeable materials in water,organic debris,plant,grass,soil,heavy bather load,urine,bacteria,etc. APS,Houston,TX Low Cyanuric Acid or (Stabalizer). PH & Alkalinity too high. High amounts of oxidizeable materials in water,organic debris,plant,grass,soil,heavy bather load,urine,bacteria,etc. APS,Houston,TX
How does phosphate levels affect the alkalinity of water?
High Alkalinity will keep your pool water on the higher end of the pH scale, or more basic rather than acidic. High Alkalinity is not terrible but there are two things that can happen. If the water is constantly basic a "scale" can develop. The other thing that can happen is you will notice your pool will get cloudy when you add pH increaser, alkalinity increaser or calcium hardness increaser when either one of those three are on the high side already.
Why do you inject phosphate in boiler feed water?
To control the alkalinity of boiler water which is directly related to pH control. Too alkaline will cause stainless steel to brittle while too low alkalinity will cause corrossion.
What happens if too much baking soda is put in pool?
The pH increases, as will the alkalinity.
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.
What causes high pH levels in pools?
The nature of gunite pools is the make up of the gunite - it has lime in it. It has high alkaline levels. Also, the make up water may have high levels of alkalinity. Adjust your pH and adjust as needed with muratic acid and monitor your alkalinity by using a test kit.
Alkalinity of pool?
Alkalinity is common baking soda. Hatawa
