Pool water will not hold chlorine and the pH level is low how can you fix this?

I assume it is an outdoor pool and that you are adding sufficient chlorine. Two reasons why it won't hold chlorine. . . 1. No, or insufficient, conditioner. Sunlight will destroy the chlorine if conditioner is not within 50-80ppm. 2. Phosphates and/or nitrates in the water. Get these checked at your local pool store - or send me a water sample if you can't find anyone to test.E-mail me for address.

Is pool chlorine really chlorine?
This is a tricky answer but it's quite simple... Actually the chlorine they used for the pool is like the chlorine we use to clean our fish tank. They use it to clean the germs in the pool ex. urine in the pool and young kids who can't hold back their poo.
What is the result of mixing chlorine and muriatic acid to metal?
Mixing a chlorine solution with any acid has the potential to release chlorine gas, which can be fatal if exposed to enough of it. If Chlorine gas comes in contact with water, or a mucus membrane (such as your eyes, nasal passage, or lungs) it will form Hydrochloric acid.Chlorine IS a GAS, at standard temperature and pressure [basically, normal ambient atmospheric temperature and pressure]. Chlorine gas mixed with water makes Hydrochloric Acid. IF one dissolves as much Chlorine into water as the water will hold, then one has created Concentrated Hydrochloric Acid [better known as Muriatic Acid]. Therefore, if trying to mix Chlorine gas into Muriatic Acid [Concentrated Hydrochloric Acid] the result is that the gas will only "pass through" [bubble through] the already fully concentrated liquid acid. Yes, there will be gas released, but not from any kind of chemical reaction, only by bubbling through, because the the concentrated acid can/will take NO MORE Chlorine gas.
Why can a spoon hold more water than the level of its rim?
water does not lie entirely flat, the surface is convexed, causing a similar effect as a magnifying glass.
How many electrons can an atom's third energy level hold?

What change in the water level occurs when you hold Erlenmeyer flask over a candle in a pan of water?
When you put a flask over the candle in a pan of water, the water in the pan starts to slowly rise inside the flask, and as the water slowly starts to rise, the candle slowly burns out.
What to use when pool water won't hold chlorine?
you have to aid a conditioner or stabilizer with cynaric acid in it.
What happens if your pool has too much conditioner. it will not hold chlorine now and the conditioner level is high?
Too much of anything is not good. I'm not sure what you mean by "too much". A general answer would be this: If your pool cannot hold your chlorine, you probably need to add cyanuric acid which is a chlorine stabilizer. Many pool chlorine tablets have this already in them. Get a good DPD test kit, not OTO. You can do a partial water drain, 1/3, then add fresh water and bring your chlorine level up to 8ppm, then allow it come down. I would obviously do this first before adding any acid or chlorine. Keep the filter running 24/7 until the water is properly balanced.
Did anyone paint a pool with exterior house paint and if so how did it hold up?
I should add, no chlorine in water.
What do you do when your pool does not hold chlorine we have shocked it 2 days in a row and still no chlorine today?
Check your water for cyanuric acid (chlorine stabalizer) and for ortho phosphates (algee food) Take a water sample to the store where you buy chemicals to get it analyzed.

How much of chlorine and other supplies do you need on filling an empty pool that hold 23000 gallons of water?
4 cups of regular strength bleach daily per 10,000 gallons will keep the chlorine levels between 1 and 3 ppm. This pool needs 3.2L of liquid chlorine daily if stabilised or double that amount if not.
Does gravity hold water?
If pool/lake/ocean water floats up: then no, gravity does not hold water. If pool/lake/ocean water does not float up: then yes, gravity does hold water.
What effects a pool to loose its status of chlorine?
Chlorine is taken up by biomaterials for one. that is the more dirt there is in the pool even stuff you cant see the more chlorine seems to disapear. the sun and the activitys of swimmers also have a big effect on chlorine consumotion. to hold onto the chlorine longer, Conditioner or Cyanuric Acid Levels should be kept up to about 80ppm, Low conditioner levels will lead to a lot of the chlorine in the water being burned of without it being utilized.
