What are the consequences of too much Acid in a pool?
Marco22peeters
The cheapest and easiest way is to add baking soda to the pool. Depending on the number of gallons in your pool and how much acid you added, determines the number of lbs you need to add. It may take as many as 25 lbs if you added way too much acid. Why are you adding acid? You should use a shock product that barely affects the pH. Don't use the products for shocking the water that begin with trichlor- either. They make the pool very acidic. Use calcium hypochlorite which doesn't dissolve well or lithium hypochlorite which dissolves very well. These won't change your pH very much.

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.
I am using a lot of acid in my pool?
That Acid is called Muriatic Acid. You put it in your swimming pool to lower the PH of the water. At lower PH Levels, the chlorine you use to sanitize the pool is more active, as a disinfectant. You MUST be careful not to put too MUCH Muriatic Acid in your pool! PH that is too low will create potentially deadly fumes, so test your water. Low pH is corrosive to plaster and metal pool parst.
What can you do if your swimming pool has too much cooper?
Cooper or coPPer ? Too much cOOper , then ask Cooper to get out of the pool !!
Consequences of watching too much tv?
you get bored ?
Can you use regular vinegar instead of distilled?
no you can not...'cause the concentration of acetic acid will be too much for human consumption and trust me you wouldn't want to know the consequences of doing so
How do I raise pool acidity level?
If the pool is too acidic, pH is low, add soda ash (sodium carbonate). If it is too alkaline, pH is high, add muriatic acid.
How much of pool water is too much to drink?
any
What are the consequences of drinking too much coffee?
slows your growth
What is the purpose of adding muriatic acid to pools?
In order to not cause irritation of the eyes and skin, the pH of the pool water should be between 7.2 - 7.6. Muriatic acid is added to the pool to lower the pH if it is too high.
Does too much chlorine cause pool water to become acidic?
Chlorine reacts with water to produce small amounts of hydrochloric acid and hypochlorous acid. Cl2 + H2O --> HCl + HClO Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid, so even a very small concentration of it can produce a notable change in pH.
Will it hurt your pool filter equipment if you put 10 gallons of cyanuric acid in your 10000 gallon pool?
Not hurt the pool but it can inhibit chlorine from sanitizing properly in high amounts. If its to high just drain some water out and refill with fresh.
