Is alkalinity dangerous for humans in swimming pools?
Alkalinity is not an actual "chemical", however if you are concerned about increasing the alkalinity in your swimming pool, you are perfectly safe. The chemical that increases "total alkalinity" in a swimming pool, is only baking soda. It wil not harm the human body!
How do you fix a chemical imbalance?
OK you've got it the wrong way round. Alkalinity isn't quite that. It is "Total Alkalinity". To lower Total Alkalinity you must add pH Buffer. Your pH is way way too low. To raise it, you must add Soda Ash. Confusing terms but that is how it is. Most pool shops offer free water testing so they will actually tell you what you need and how much. It depends on what chemical your talking about. Chlorine, pH, alkalinity, or hardness.
