by adding sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate
Answer by TSYou can use sodium carbonate (soda ash -- Washing Soda at Walmart) or you can use 20 Mule Team Borax Laundry Booster. It can be found at many grocery stores. Try using the same amount as you would with PH plus 1 lb. to 10,000 gallons, and wait 2 to 4 hrs. Then check your PH reading. If it's still low, add some more until you get it to 7.2 to 7.8 range. Caution - check your alkalinity before using borax, because borax raises PH only, without affecting your alkalinity much. If your alkalinity is also low you can use baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to raise your alkalinity and PH. Baking Soda raises PH and Alkalinity at the same time. Baking Soda has the same ingredients as Alkalinity plus, but half the price. Take a look at this web site for more information on Borax: www.poolsolutions.com/gd/borax_20mule.html

How do you lower pH levels in a inground pool?
To lower pH levels in an inground pool, you can use pH decreaser chemicals, such as sodium bisulfate or muriatic acid. Follow the manufacturer's instructions when adding the chemicals to the pool water, and regularly test the pH levels to ensure they remain within the recommended range of 7.2 to 7.6. Additionally, consider using aeration or adding baking soda to stabilize the pH levels.
Can you use borax to raise alkalinity?
Yes, borax can be used to raise pH levels in a pool, but it is not recommended for raising alkalinity as it can affect the pH levels without significantly impacting the alkalinity. It is better to use baking soda or soda ash to raise alkalinity in a pool.
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.

The pH on my pool is low and as I use baquacil what should I add to it?
You would be safest using Baquacil pH Increaser, which is a high purity, highly active dry alkaline product used to raise pool pH. In non-Baquacil pool water, both Soda Ash and Hydrochloric acid are used to raise pH levels. Pool shops are a good place to seek advice also.
What are the proper levels of PH alkalinity cyanuric acid chlorine and bromine for an inground saltwater pool?
For an inground saltwater pool, the recommended levels are: pH: 7.2-7.6 Alkalinity: 80-120 ppm Cyanuric acid: 70-80 ppm Free chlorine: 1-3 ppm Bromine: 3-5 ppm It's important to regularly test and adjust these levels to maintain a clean and safe swimming environment.
How do you raise pH level in pool?
You can use soda ash (sodium carbonate), sold as pH Increaser, pH UP or Arm & Hammer Washing soda. You can also use borax, sold as 20 Mule Team Borax. Sodium bicarbonate, sold as baking soda, Alkalinity Increaser or Alk Up, will raise pool pH levels, but not very efficiently.
