  • The pH of water for making concrete is 6 to 8.
  • The water should be free from organic matters.
  • Sea water should not be used for making concrete.

How Does chlorine Affect Acidity levels?

Depends on the type of chlorine you are using as each type of chlorine product has it's own pH level. i.e Liquid chlorine (sodium hypochlorite) has a natural pH of about 14. Trichlo products have a pH of about 3 Dichlor products have a pH of about 6.8 Gas Chlorine has a pH of <1 So based on the above lets say you are using liquid chlorine in a concrete pool, the pH will tend to be high (alkaline) due to the high pH of the chlorine product coupled with the fact the pool is concrete.

Will Water damage concrete?

Not generally. If the concrete has a sealent on it no, but if you have a massive amount of water on unsealed concrete, the concrete will absorb the water and can make it swell and possibly crack. Answer The answer given above is totally incorrect. As far as only concrete is concerned i.e. plain concrete, the effect of water seepage is very little (depending upon the grade of concrete) whereas for RCC (reinforced cement concrete) water that seeps in corrodes the reinforcement and thus reduces the life of the structure. The defects that water seepage induces in concrete are as follows: 1) induces capillary formation (due tothe detiorating characteristics of water) 2) With this capillaries the concrete starts spalling out i.e the places where capillaries are formed, with even slight amount of stress that portion comes out and exposes the steel to the atmosphere 3) Concrete has a pH of about 12 -13. Thus it also reduces the pH of the concrete when salty water or when the concrete is exposed to marshy areas. 4) Reduces the overall strength of concrete 5) Reduces durability 6) Reduces permeabitlity to further water seepage 7) Results in ageing of structures
