What Should I Do if My Ph Level is High?

If you’ve recently tested your pool’s pH level and found that it’s too high, there are a few steps you can take to lower it and keep your pool clean and safe.

High pH levels can cause a number of problems, such as making it difficult to maintain proper chlorine levels and causing eye and skin irritation.

pH reducer

The first step to take when your pH level is too high is to use a pH reducer. This product is designed to safely lower the pH level in your pool. Depending on the size of your pool and the severity of the pH imbalance, you may need to add more than one dose. After adding the reducer, it’s important to wait at least 24 hours before testing the pH level again. If the pH level is still too high after using a pH reducer, you can use a muriatic acid solution to further adjust the pH. This should be done with caution and only after you’ve thoroughly read the product’s instructions.

pH stabilizer

Once the pH is within the recommended range, you should use a pH stabilizer to keep it there. This will help to maintain the proper pH balance in your pool and prevent it from becoming too high or too low. It’s also important to remember to regularly test your pool’s pH levels to make sure they stay within the recommended range. This will help to ensure your pool is as clean and safe as possible.
