It is used to lower both ph and alkalinity.
The chemical formula of sodium bisulfate is NaHSO4.
You can add dry acid to your pool when your pH is above 7.8
pH is a measure of the acidity of the pool water - if it is measuring too high then you want to add 'pH minus' which is a form of sodium bisulfate, an acid for in depth explanation go to aquachek.com arm&hammer products are quite relevant to your pool and may save you a little dough in bringing chemical levels into balance: baking soda = sodium bicarbonate washing soda(soda ash) = sodium carbonate
No.
Like all sodium compounds, it is ionic.
use either muriatic acid or dry acid (sodium bisulfate)
The preferred modern name for the compound with the formula NaHSO4.H2O is "sodium acid sulfate monohydrate". This compound was formerly called "sodium bisulfate monohydrate", and some chemists still use the older name.
yes. sodium is always soluble. there are no exceptions to this rule.
it's 4
To raise the pH of your pool you add soda ash (sodium carbonate). To lower the pH of your pool add muriatic acid (hydrochloric acid) or sodium bisulfate. You should always add chemicals with the pump running and check your levels again once the newly added chemicals have been circulated around the pool.

Yes, sodium hydrogen sulfate (NaHSO4) is a synonym for sodium bisulfate. This material is frequently confused with sodium bisulfite, (NaHSO3). Ben Willliams, Research Chemist Jones-Hamilton Co, manufacturer of Sodium bisulfate
