Sodium bicarbonate ( baking soda )
A person can make a homemade pool algaecide by combining bleach, baking soda, and Borax. This shocks the pool and increases the pH if needed.
Your pool water turned green immediately after adding pH Plus because the chemical had increased the pH level to high. You may need to adjust the alkalinity levels of the water using another pool chemical such as pH Minus of pH Alkalinity Plus.
You can still get in the pool. The chemicals work best when the pH is balanced so add PH PLUS. If the PH is really low it is very acidic and could burn the eyes a bit
Test the water, then adjust your Ph to about 7.2. Then chlorinate.
The pH level in your pool may be consistently high due to factors such as high alkalinity, high calcium hardness, or the use of certain pool chemicals. It's important to regularly test and balance the pH levels in your pool to maintain water quality and prevent issues like scale formation and inefficient chlorine disinfection. Consider adjusting your pool water's alkalinity, using pH decreasers, or consulting a professional if the issue persists.
It depends on the volume of your pool and what level your Ph is at.
PH is very important for pool care and cleaning. You need to make sure the pool stays neutral, not to acidic, not too basic. 7.0 is normal water. around 7 would be perfect for a swimming pool. If having a pool you need the right temperature, and make sure its pH temperature is 7.0. It can be 7.1 7.1 7.3 7.4 7.5 7.6. that's also neutral
It will make it one inch deeper assuming that rain water is only falling in it.
pH is the hydrogen or hydroxide concentration in your pool. pH is a logarithmic scale ranging from 0-14 and 7 being neutral.
make sure chlorine is is at 1-3ppm, if pH is very low raise chlorine slightly higer than average. shock the pool after and run filter for over night. If pool still not stabilize then add PH high chemical.
They both wil raise the pH in a pool, but they are two different chemicals for two different purposes. (You need both) pH+ Sodium Carbonate - Raises pH in pool water TA+ Sodium Bicarbonate - Raises total alkalinity in pool water It is best to use both chemicals for their intended use. TA keeps the pH from bouning up and down pH keeps your eyes from burning and your heater and other pool items from self destructing. I have seen pools with such a low pH that it will attack the vynal liner and cause it to wrinkle and shorten the life of it.
