add a PH reducer chemical
Using sodium bicarbonate to lower pH in a swimming pool is not effective. Sodium bicarbonate, or baking soda, is typically used to raise pH levels in pools. To lower pH in a pool, an acid such as muriatic acid or sodium bisulfate should be used.
To adjust pH and/or lower alkalinity.
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.
You have to know what you are doing. The addition of muriatic acid lowers the pH and total alkalinity in swimming pools.
It will make it one inch deeper assuming that rain water is only falling in it.
No. You will also get a bad smell or odor from your pool water. Where did you get this idea????
my sack
raising the pH level of the swimming poolThe recommended pH-range for a swimming pool is between 7.2 and 7.8. To raise or lower pH, alkali such as sodium carbonate (soda ash) or sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) will added to the water. thanks hope it helps you heaps!!
To lower the pH of your pool from 8.2, you can add muriatic acid or sodium bisulfate. Follow manufacturer guidelines and test the pH frequently to ensure it is within the recommended range of 7.2-7.8 for swimming pools.
To lower the pH from 9.2 to 7.2, the worker should add an acid, such as muriatic acid or pH decreaser, to the pool water. She should follow the manufacturer's instructions on the product to gradually lower the pH level, frequently testing the water until it reaches the desired pH of 7.2.
Soda Ash
No it cannot. Sodium bicarb has a ph of 8.4. To lower ph you would need to use a dry acid (sodium bisulphate) or muriatic acid. City water is normally treated and has a ph of 7.5 but it would take a large amount of fresh water to lower the ph of a pool.
