The only way to lower your alkalinity is to use a pH decreaser. adding acid will also do the trick but for vinyl pools it is easier to just use a pH decreaser ( which is acid) and then adjust the pH. Remember not to use expensive alkalinity plus...arm and hammer is alot cheaper and the same thing. It costs 1.87 for a 4 lb box.
Alkalinitywe haven't been able to get our pool clear...the alkalinity is soooo high and we are about to go nuts with tempt in 90's...HELP!

∙ 13y agowork out how much acid is required and put the acid into a bucket with some water already added. Be careful not to splash as it is corrosive and particularly harmful if yo get it in your eyes (wear protective eye gear). with that done simply distribute the solution around the pool.

Hydrochloric acid is most commonly known as muriatic acid and is used to lower pH in pools
How do you lower pH levels in a inground pool?
Add acid, Muriatic acid works best but Dry Acid is also used.
What is the purpose of adding muriatic acid to pools?
In order to not cause irritation of the eyes and skin, the pH of the pool water should be between 7.2 - 7.6. Muriatic acid is added to the pool to lower the pH if it is too high.
What are the ingredients for pool acid?
pool acid is made up of muriatic or hydrochloric acid that is it.
How do you get pH lower in the pool without chemicals?
use either muriatic acid or dry acid (sodium bisulfate)
I am using a lot of acid in my pool?
That Acid is called Muriatic Acid. You put it in your swimming pool to lower the PH of the water. At lower PH Levels, the chlorine you use to sanitize the pool is more active, as a disinfectant. You MUST be careful not to put too MUCH Muriatic Acid in your pool! PH that is too low will create potentially deadly fumes, so test your water. Low pH is corrosive to plaster and metal pool parst.
How do you shock a pool using muriatic acid?
You can't! Muriatic acid (~32% HCL) will not add any free chlorine to the pool and will not function as a oxidizer (Shock).
What is in liquid pool acid?
liquid pool acid is Muriatic acid or more commonly know as Hydrochloric acid (HCl)
How much muriatic acid is needed to lower PH?
It depends on the pH level in the pool and the gallons of the pools, also how many ppm you want to lower it.
