How To Quickly Lower Your Pools Alkalinity Levels

Lowering your alkalinity levels is an easy step by step process that I demonstrate in this quick video.

Your alkalinity levels should be kept between 80 - 120 ppm.

Borax wow, works on a lot of things! Thanks for the pool water recommended water works👍☠️🤔

How long should you wait to swim after adding/balancing the alkalinity level with this muriatic acid?

[cassandra]

Do you have to dilute it? Also what is the app called I tried searching pool pal? If that’s correct and it didn’t come up

[kevinc]

After adding the acid, should I turn off my chlorine while pump runs? Or is it safe to have it still chlorine running??

You really should raise your pH up to about 8.0 and then add your acid. With a alkalinity at 180, you you have a fair distance to go before you’re down to 100. Raising your pH to only 7.6 Will not allow you to add enough acid to bring your alkalinity down that much it will take you a long time.
Have you ever tried just raising your pH with aeration? You can raise pH without adding borax by airation.

Ur pump can definitely b on when doing this

I want to asking Apple phone . Which one ☝️ for Apple app

My pH is normal but alkalinity is 180. Pool is very cloudy. I tries pH down and it didn’t work for my alkalinity level. Also my chlorine level is saying 0 even though I have tons of tabs in there. Help 😩

Pool store told me to use ph down first? Alk 180, ph 7.8, chlor 8..what a mess new salt system pool.

I made a comment about safety precautions while using this chemical, and it got censored.
Is that a controversial topic?
