Does chlorine lower PH in the pool?
No
Why is the pH in my pool always high?
High chlorine levels will make the pH in your pool high. You can add borates to help stabilize the pH level in your pool.
Is pool chlorine a base?
Chlorine is made to be pH neutral (7.0) for pools. If you are looking for a base (due to high pH) try "Soda Ash" or a product that claims pH down, results.
How do you neutralize chlorine and pool shock?
Your local pool supply store sells a product called... Chlorine neutralizer! Pool & Spa In order to maintain this type of pool, you need more than just to dump the chlorine there. In addition to the chlorine, you will also need to add a few other chemicals to ensure that the right pH of the pool is maintained. Bear in mind that the pH level is very important. If it is too high, the chlorine will not be able to do its job well. If it is too low on the other hand, it becomes very acidic, which is not ideal for swimming.
How do you get the free chlorine level down in your saltwater pool?
To give you an accurate answer, it's important to know how many gallons are in the pool, how high is your Free Available Chlorine (FAC), and what is your Combined Chlorine Reading. Is pool enclosed and protected from sun etc? Is your chlorine generator working properly? You could simply shut down the generator and test your pool everyday at the same time. Keep records of pH, Free Chlorine, Combined Chlorine, Alkalinity, etc. It's important that you maintain a proper pH at ALL TIMES.

How Does chlorine Affect Acidity levels?
Depends on the type of chlorine you are using as each type of chlorine product has it's own pH level. i.e Liquid chlorine (sodium hypochlorite) has a natural pH of about 14. Trichlo products have a pH of about 3 Dichlor products have a pH of about 6.8 Gas Chlorine has a pH of <1 So based on the above lets say you are using liquid chlorine in a concrete pool, the pH will tend to be high (alkaline) due to the high pH of the chlorine product coupled with the fact the pool is concrete.
When opening a pool is it better to the pH or the chlorine right first?
Adjusting the chlorine content will almost certainly affect the pH, so it would be simpler to get the chlorine level correct first and then titrate to the proper pH.
How do you change pool pH with baking soda?

Do you still need to add pH calcium alkaline chemicals to a salt water pool as the same as a chlorine pool?
Yes you still need to control the PH of your water weather it is a salt water pool or chlorine tablet pool. with salt water pools the chlorine produced by the chlorine generator is more dependant on a lower pH, around 7.2 to 7.6 if pH goes to high the chlorine gets locked up and cant work. you can find more detailed information on our web site at www.cristal-clear-pools.com. hope this helps you.
