What is PH up?
High alkalinity
What makes the pH in soap high?
Soapmakers measure the acidity or alkalinity of bath soap by its pH level on a scale of 0 (acidic) to 14 (alkaline). Substances at either end of the scale, such as sulfuric acid and lye, are harmful to skin.
Is high pH levels in pool harmful?
High Ph or high alkalinity in pool water makes the water "hard" and leads to "scaling" or calcium buildup on pool walls and equipment. Over a long period, alkaline water can be harmful to equipment and create a film of calcification on tile or pool walls. As far as harm to people, high Ph makes the water feel "slimey" and it is easier to slip on steps or the floor of the pool. It can dry out skin and feel ichy. In contrast to high acidity- high alkalinity seems to cause less skin discomfort. Each pool is an ecosystem and needs to find a balance...one person's pool could be in fine balance at 7.8 while another is better at 7.2
How does phosphate levels affect the alkalinity of water?
High Alkalinity will keep your pool water on the higher end of the pH scale, or more basic rather than acidic. High Alkalinity is not terrible but there are two things that can happen. If the water is constantly basic a "scale" can develop. The other thing that can happen is you will notice your pool will get cloudy when you add pH increaser, alkalinity increaser or calcium hardness increaser when either one of those three are on the high side already.
Your alkalinity is really high How do you lower it without lowering the pH too?
pH refers to the level of acidity or alkalinity. less than 7 is acidic, more than 7 is alkaline. if you want to lower your alkalinity, add muriatic acid. It will lower the pH though
What causes high pH levels in pools?
The nature of gunite pools is the make up of the gunite - it has lime in it. It has high alkaline levels. Also, the make up water may have high levels of alkalinity. Adjust your pH and adjust as needed with muratic acid and monitor your alkalinity by using a test kit.
Alkalinity of pool?
Alkalinity is common baking soda. Hatawa
Is muriatic acid alkaline based?
Yep, muriatic acid, or Hydrochloric was in high demand in the Industrial Age for its alkalinity
What is smoke that harmful to us?
Any smoke, in a sufficiently high concentration is harmful.
Difference between phenolphthalein alkalinity and and total alkalinity?
phenolphthalein alkalinity is due to hydroxide n carbonate salts in water...nd total alkalinity is mainly due to bicarbonate salts in water..
Does high alkalinity cause cloudy water?
it might not be to high of a ph but could be a very hot water in a cooler room that is how some pools r cloudy
Why is Chlorine quickly evaporating out of pool?
There are no shortcuts. Get your Alkalinity right, then the PH. If the PH is "bouncing," your choline will spike high and low until you get the PH right. The PH will not be right until the alkalinity is right. If all that is right, you are low on stabilizer.
