You lower pH by adding acid The above answer is not specifically answering the question. Neutralizing the pH depends on what your readings are. A high pH would be brought lower by adding muriatic acid. A low pH would require soda ash. Neutral pH would be about 7 ppm. A well balanced pH would be 7.4 to 7.6 ppm.

What jobs require the use of a pH scale?

Private pools are often chlorinated with hypochlorite CaOCl2 What is the long term effect on the pools pH after adding?
When CaOCl2 is added to H20 the chlorate ions combine with the water to produce hypoclorous acid and hydroxide ions. The pools pH is subjected to alot of different vaiables the optimum pH for pools is between 7.2-7.8 so to lower pH add HCl or NaHSO4 or to raise pH add Na2CO3 or NaHCO3.
What do you need to do to get the kiddie pools water back to the acceptable pH?
You will have to add an alkaline substance in order to get the kiddie pools water back to an acceptable PH level. Calcium carbonate would work to increase the PH.
Does temperature affect pH levels in swimming pools?
pH value is very dependent on the temperature.
How do you maintain a pool?
Pools are maintained by weekly testing the levels of Chlorine, pH, Total Alkalinity, Calcium Hardness, Cyanuric Acid, and Phosphates. Pools also needed to be cleaned by scrubbing pool walls with brushes and vacuuming any dirt or debris on the surface or in the pool water.
What is thew chemical name for pH down for pools?
neutralization
Why does the pH have to be kept at a certain level for swimming pools?
PH levels make sure water is not to acid.
How do you raise pH levels in swimming pools?
Soda ash (sodium carbonate), sold as pH Increaser, pH UP or Arm & Hammer Washing soda, will do the trick. You can also use borax, sold as 20 Mule Team Borax.
Why is chlorine harmful but we use it in pools Can't that poison us?
Because we use a tiny amount of it in the pools. The water is a lot more than the chlorine so it could dilute it. To remove any dangers, test the pool water with a pH strip.
