How do you lower the alkilinity of a swimming pool?
You have to know what you are doing. The addition of muriatic acid lowers the pH and total alkalinity in swimming pools.
What happens when the alkilinity is too low in a swimming pool?
The water becomes aggressive and can etch the plaster and metal parts of the pool and equipment.
What is pH of 1?
a pH of 1 is very corrosive.7 pH and above is alkilinity. 7 and below is acidity
We are refilling our pool after a complete drain and cleanout and wondering if there are certain chemicals we should add to our city water that is already treated?
check the alkilinity and pH levels also, let your governing agency know in advance that you are filling a pool so they don't charge you the normal rates for the gallons used
What does the mean of m alkalinity and p alkalinity in boiler water?
1. M-Alkalinity (also known as Total Alkalinity) measures the amount of carbonate, bicarbonate and hydroxide present in terms of "ppm as calcium carbonate". ( M-Alkalinity measurement is based on a sulphuric acid titration using a Methyl orange indicator that goes from yellow at a pH of 4.5 to orange at pH of 4.4 at the endpoint.) 2. P-Alkalinity measures the amount of carbonate and hydroxyl alkalinity present in terms of "ppm as calcium carbonate". P-alkalinity is measured down to a pH of 8.3. The M-alkalinity is measured down to a pH of 4.3.
How do you bring down pH and alkilinity?
To bring down pH and alkalinity, you can add a pH decreaser or acid solution, such as muriatic acid or sodium bisulfate, to the water. It's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and test the water frequently to avoid overshooting the desired levels. Additionally, increasing aeration in the water can also help lower both pH and alkalinity levels.
How do you get chlorine level up in swimming pool?
To increase the chlorine level in a swimming pool, you can add chlorine tablets, liquid chlorine, or granular chlorine according to the manufacturer's instructions based on the pool's size and the current chlorine level. It's important to regularly test the water to ensure the chlorine level is within the recommended range for safe swimming.
What is the difference between priming and foaming?
Foaming and Primming. This is a term used in boiler engineering power generation. Foaming causes: High TDS (total dissolved solids), High suspended solids, detergent type contaimination and high alkilinity. The effects of foaming can cause carry over to turbines and down stream damage. Primming Causes high water level, sudden steam demand and forcing a boiler, the effects are carry over and down stream damge.
How do you lower nitrite and nitrate levels for a newly set-up African cichlid tank also what are the optimum hardness and alkilinity levels for said tank?
The only safe way to lower Nitrite levels is to have a properly cycled filter doing the job bacteriologically for you. As far as keeping the resultant Nitrates down that can only be achieved by either using them up by growing plants or changing heaps of water every week. Recommended levels. pH around 8.5 to 9. GH more than 20 ppm
You put muriatic acid in your pool to lower the alkilinity however when you put the acid in the water it began to smoke what would cause this?
The answer is The reason it would smoke is that there is a reaction going on, which means that your water is Basic. maybe there is a lot of lime in your water. Nothing to worry about just put in enough acid and chlorine until the pool is at the right pH and chlorine level
Intex pool with slime on the walls and floor?
I use the Intex pool startup kit. It has sanitizer, pool test strips and shock. Add Sanitize which is granular chlorine. If you have a pool brush, brush pool. I actually use a mop. If its really dirty you may have to get inside pool to mop, in which case add Sanitize after. Then run filter for 20 minutes and use test strip to check pH & alkilinity. If not right pH add another dose (booklet in kit says how much per 500 gals of water)and run filter another 20 min. Then add Shock and run filter 4-8hrs. If you don't have a filter, then you probably have to drain, clean with regular liquid bleach & mop then refill.
What plant dye can be used to detect acids and alkalis?
The most common is Litmus. Litmus is extracted from various Lichens and is a good indicator of both acids and alkalis. Some naturally occurring substances indicate only acids or alkalis such as cochineal and curcumin. The common litmus paper is impregnated with the dye extract of the Lichen to act as an acidity or alkalinity indicator. All PH (acidity and alkilinity) measuring devices work based upon whether they accept or donate protons and as such are infact themselves acids or bases. For greater accuracy other dyes (other than the reactive element) are added to the PH detector which can be chemically engineered to give visible changes in colour at every step on the PH scale.
