If you are using small or jumbo tabs that may contribute to the problem. You will need to add baking soda to raise the levels into the range in which your kit can detect. Use a digital meter to determine alkalinity the range. Your range should be 80-120 ppm. Or you could be adding too much acid. Get a sample of the water to a pool store soon.

Baking soda used for in pools?
Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate and can be used to directly increase the total alkalinity in pool water. It can also indirectly increase pH slightly.
Will adding a flocculant to the pool water lower the Total Alkalinity?
No
How do you raise the pH level in the pool?
there are two primary chemicals on the merket used to do this. 1.) soda ash usually packaged under the name pH rise or pH increaser. 2.)sodium bicarbonate usually packaged under the name alkalinity rise or alkalinity increaser. both of the above chemicals will increase both the pH and Alkalinity of the swimming pool water. always make sure your alkalinity is balanced before making any pH adjustment. it is also important to understand pH and alkalinity always move together and in the same direction. so a pH adjustment will cause a change in your alkalinity level the same way a alkalinity adjustment will cause a change in your pH. when you increase pH, alkalinity will also increase when you decrease pH, alkalinity will also decrease when you raise alkalinity, pH will also rise. always dose chemicals according to the directions on the chemical container and the volume of water you are treating.
What does muratic acid do to water?
used to lower pH and total alkalinity
What is the recommended alkalinity for a pool?
80-120 ppm. If the level of alkalinity is low or high it can cause clouded water and pH fluctuation.
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 is total alkalinity?
Alkalinity of water is its acid-neutralizing capacity. It is the sum of all titratable bases. Because the alkalinity of many surface water is primarily a function of carbonate, bicarbonate and hydroxide content, it is taken as an indication of the concentration of these constituent.
If your total alkalinity is 180-200 and your pH is 7.8-8.0 how do you correct it?
First you should find where your pool water Total Alkalinity SHOULD be (depends on total hardness of the water) and then adjust the TA. Then adjust pH. E-mail me for full instructions.
What does the mean of m alkalinity and p alkalinity in boiler water?
p alkilinity is the minimal ppm level of alkilinity tested in boiler water, m alkilinity is the total (maximum) ppm level tested in boiler water.
What do you use to raise the ph in a swimming pool?
the pH can be raised by adding an alkaline chemical such as soda ash (which also raises total alkalinity quite a bit) or borax (which has only a slight effect on total alkalinity), or by aeration of the water to outgas CO2 (which will raise pH with no impact on total alkalinity). Soda ash actually has very little effect on Total Alkalinity. Baking soda is the chemical to use to raise T/A.
What would cause the ladder to be totally rusted out on a salt water pool that is less than 2 years old?
Low quality S. S. ladder. Low pH and Total alkalinity. Aggressive water. k
What is swimming pool water tested for?
Concentration of clorine... And.....pH, total alkalinity, calcium hardness, cyanuric acid
