It's generally not recommended to add shock and pH increaser at the same time in Swimming Pools. Doing so can lead to chemical reactions that may reduce the effectiveness of both products. It's best to wait for the chlorine levels to stabilize after shocking the pool before adjusting the pH. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for optimal results.

What chemicals do you put in your pool after you fill it with water?

You also add chlorine to establish a residual chlorine level and maintain water sanitation. Additionally, you may need to balance the pH levels of the water using pH increaser or decreaser.


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.

How do you fix alkalinity in pools?

Getting a water test at your local pool store would be the first step. Second if it still is low alkalinity add alkalinity increaser. Also can add baking soda is the same stuff. If it says 50lbs you need of Alk. you will need to break that into 3'rds. So every 4 to 6 hours add a third. Have the pump running and you should be good to go after that.
