How does rainwater affect alkalinity?
lower it
What do i do if Ph is low alkalinity is low chlorine level is fine in pool?
add some form of alkalinity booster for sure. bring it too about 110ppm, chlorine has a naturally high pH, but the higher alkalinity addition will stop acidic compounds from attacking the pH any further. depending on how low the pH is though you may have to add a pH booster, take your water into a pool shop for an in depth water analysis.
What are the alternatives to using muriatic acid to lower the PH in a swimming pool?
There are 3 principal chemicals for lowering pH: muriatic acid, sodium bisulfate (dry acid) & CO2. If this is a commercial application then CO2 may be a viable source. The sodium bisulfate is dry acid which when mixed with water makes liquid acid but does not have the odor. Muriatic acid and sodium bisulfate both lower total alkalinity at hte same time as lowering the pH. CO2 may raise total alkalinity at the same time as lowering pH. The total alkalinity is important to have a stable pH which in turn is important to have a relatively constant pH for the proper effectiveness of the sanitizer (chlorine) Any other questions feel free to email me direct.

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
How do you lower alkalinity but not change pH in a swimming pool?
To lower alkalinity without affecting pH levels in a swimming pool, you can use muriatic acid or sulfuric acid. These chemicals will reduce alkalinity without impacting the pH significantly. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and test the water regularly to maintain proper balance.
How do you lower alkalinity in spa?
A small of amount of muriatic acid
Will adding a flocculant to the pool water lower the Total Alkalinity?
No
How do you lower alkalinity in well water?
To lower alkalinity in well water, you can try installing an acid injection system to neutralize the alkalinity. Another option is to use a water softener with an acid regeneration option to reduce alkalinity levels. It's advisable to consult with a water treatment professional to determine the best solution for your specific well water.
If you have a good alkalinity with mains water what would lower it in a swimming pool with out the addition of chemicals.?
Add rain water this has very low alkalinity
What household item can be used to lower pool Alkalinity?
baking soda
Why is sodium bisulfate used in a pool?
