A Salt water swimming pool, like the iceberg in Sydney. hmmm.... A Salt Water Beach! or a pool in wich someone wurinated in! A: Your answer is old pool water. You will not taste the salt in a salt water system pool! k
It is not the salt water pool or the salt water that is turning your hair green. It is a poorly maintained pool with a chemical imbalance - pH and total alkalinity out of required parameters.
Sodium Carbonate is the PH+ element
Soda ash raises both alkalinity and pH in fresh water; I would assume the same in salt.
Muratic acid or Sulfaric acid
Gunite and plaster have a high demand for acid because of the lime in the cement. And or high calcium make up water. k Your pool will naturally increase in pH due to swimmer's waste, sweat, urine, etc... Keep your pH at 7.6-7.8, not 7.2. 7.2 pH is base upon the Langelier Index which was used for local water companies, but there's a world of difference between pools and how the water company treats your tap water. Good index but bad application for pools.
Yes you still need to control the PH of your water weather it is a salt water pool or chlorine tablet pool. with salt water pools the chlorine produced by the chlorine generator is more dependant on a lower pH, around 7.2 to 7.6 if pH goes to high the chlorine gets locked up and cant work. you can find more detailed information on our web site at www.cristal-clear-pools.com. hope this helps you.
Yes, baking soda can be used in a salt water pool to help maintain the proper pH levels. It can be used to raise the alkalinity of the water and prevent pH fluctuations, resulting in a more balanced and stable pool environment. It is important to follow proper dosing instructions to avoid over-treating the pool.
The pH of pool chlorine typically ranges from 11 to 13 when used in its most common form, calcium hypochlorite. It is highly basic and can increase the pH of the water in a pool if not properly balanced with other chemicals. Regular monitoring and adjustment of pH levels are important for maintaining healthy pool water.
Yes, it is definitely a possibility. Salt will have no connection to the itching problem.
Is the fountain Solid Brass or Chrome-Plated Brass?
Disclaimer: I know next to nothing about fish. That said: if you want to lower the pH, muriatic acid will certainly do so, and it won't introduce any ions to a salt water pool that aren't there already (it will increase chloride ion concentration, which may or may not matter; it will also increase hydronium ion concentration, but that's the whole point).
