How do you raise the chlorine and lower the pH alkalinity in your pool?
To raise chlorine levels, you can add chlorine shock or chlorine tablets to the pool. To lower pH and alkalinity, you can use muriatic acid or pH decreaser. It's important to test the water regularly and make gradual adjustments to avoid overcorrecting levels.
What is the pH of chlorine?
Chlorine itself does not have a pH since it is a pure element. However, when dissolved in water, chlorine forms hydrochloric acid which can lower the pH of the solution depending on the concentration.
What is pH of pool chlorine?
The pH of pool chlorine typically ranges from 11 to 13 when used in its most common form, calcium hypochlorite. It is highly basic and can increase the pH of the water in a pool if not properly balanced with other chemicals. Regular monitoring and adjustment of pH levels are important for maintaining healthy pool water.
Does chlorine lower PH in waste water?
Yes, chlorine can lower the pH of wastewater because when chlorine is added, it can react with water to form hypochlorous acid, which is acidic. This can cause a decrease in the pH of the water.
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 can you use sodium metabisulfite to lower the PH of your swimming pool when it also neutralizes the chlorine?
No. You will also get a bad smell or odor from your pool water. Where did you get this idea????
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.
Your pH is high and chlorine is low?
To lower pH, you can add pH decreaser (such as sodium bisulfate) following manufacturer's instructions. To raise chlorine levels, you can add liquid chlorine or chlorine tablets according to the pool size and current chlorine levels. Retest after a few hours and adjust as needed.
How do you prevent algae in a swimming pool?
Keep your PH at 7.0-7.4 and use adequate chlorine. PH is very important, because if it gets too high, the chlorine will not work. To lower PH, you will need to get Muriatic acid at your hardware store. Use it with caution.
Why is pool Ph low and chlorine high though you have not put chlorine in for weeks?
Low pH in a pool can cause chlorine levels to appear higher due to the pH affecting the effectiveness of the chlorine. The pH imbalance may also be due to factors such as organic debris or algae growth consuming chlorine, leading to a false high reading on the test kit. It is recommended to shock the pool to address any organic contaminants and rebalance the pH to maintain proper water chemistry.

Does chlorine raise or lower pH?
depending on the volume of chlorine you put in your pool. Chlorination or simply the adding of chlorine to water is extensively used in many water treatment facilities primarily to disinfect or kill harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria.
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.

Does pool acid kill chlorine?
pool acid, also known as hydrochlorous acid, is actually a chlorinating agent, in addition to being an oxidizing agent. that is, it will *produce* some small amounts of aqueous chlorine, as opposed to eliminating it.
