So total alkalinity is independent of PH. Want to raise PH add baking soda. Want to lower PH add acid. Do the exact same thing with alkalinity. Got it.👍

Hello, thanks for this amazing video. I live in mexico and we use underground water to fill the pool. Today i have fully emptied the pool and filled it again. Now the alkalinity level is way too high and the PH way too low. I put (ph dicreaser) to lower the alkalinity but it doesnt lower. How can i lower it without lowering the PH level? Many thanks for your help

It was unclear to me why having a high TA is bad if your pH is ideal?

@poolonomics 11 месяцев назад

Because high TA eventually raises pH along with it (due to carbon dioxide outgassing at a faster rate) and it will be even harder to lower it back down with such a strong buffer in place.
