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.
Keeping your pool clean and clear all season doesn't have to be hard. Visit my website at easyclearpool.com for lots of pool care and helpful tips for your swimming pool.

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

@BlakeBuchanan382 2 года назад

If you add a quart of acid you can basically swim instantly 2 quarts wait an hour anything over 2 quarts 6 hrs

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

@luislemus2408 3 года назад

Great video Very well explained 👍👍

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

@easyclearpool 3 года назад

It is still safe for your chlorinator to continue running after adding the acid.

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.

@Adam-hs4de 3 года назад

Ahhhh the joys and challenges of aeration! I add dry acid and keep pool open overnight to reduce aeration amount.

@elyros6155 Год назад

How can do this aeration to increase ph?

@elyros6155 Hook up a sprinkler to your return jet a fountain

@cassandra9384 2 года назад

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

@easyclearpool 2 года назад

No, you can add it directly and it is fine. The app is Pool Pal, but I am currently only finding it on Android and not Apple. Pool Doctor is another app as well that can help.

Ur pump can definitely b on when doing this

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 😩

@easyclearpool 3 года назад

Hi, your alkalinity and pH will lower at different rates and may just need a but more pH reducer. Your alkalinity isn't extremely out of range but could be reduced some. Have you tried adding some clarifier to clear it up? As for no chlorine readings, try and jump start it with shock to get the ball rolling if you haven't done that. I appreciate the comment! You will get there.

@cutie96 3 года назад

To measure chlorine properly,try taking water sample deeper into the pool(since chlorine dissolves in upper layers)(flip/submerge some plastic bootle to take the sample...)...MA afterwards

@jasonjanes3256 2 года назад

Water can actually reach a point where it can not hold certain levels of chemistry, "chlorine lock" - Just partially drain the pool halfway and then refill and then sanitize with a NON-Chlorine sanitizer - THEN slowly raise Chlorine back-up - Tablets can't solve Chlorine Lock -

@drdrew3 Год назад

The tabs are 50% chlorine and 50% stabilizer (cyanuric acid). If you put in “tons of tabs” your stabilized level is probably sky high making chlorine ineffective. Get your water tested for CYA

I am a new pool owner; first year opening it/ I noticed after shocking that it actually caused it to be cloudy. Flocculant worked for me- lots of vacuuming on waste and adding water also bc of it being on waste but at least the particles weren’t filtered through- it has cleared the cloudy and it’s finally straightened out. It was a last resort but worth it. Good luck.

@IAYT_ 3 года назад

What is this called?

@rainbowlo8681 2 года назад

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

@Lil42Red 4 месяца назад

What the name of the app

@easyclearpool 4 месяца назад

The app is called Pool Pal, however may not be available anymore and I now would recommend Pool Math by Trouble free pool. Search for it in your App Store. Thanks for watching!

@ferrumregit4252 3 года назад

What % acid did you use?

@easyclearpool 3 года назад

It was 31.45%.

@ferrumregit4252 3 года назад

@@easyclearpool Thank you! I’m about to use for the first time and I hear the fumes are unbelievable.

@Elw00d28 3 года назад

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

@easyclearpool 3 года назад

As your pH falls, your alkalinity should fall as well. PH down or muriatic acid should be a good start.

@jasonjanes3256 2 года назад

Just a scoop of acid and leave the TA to naturally go down over time - 180 is not ideal but certainly not worth tons of chems and math to adjust UNLESS your like me and like to tinker around -

@jasonjanes3256 2 года назад

of course they did - just a bit of acid and re-measure chems the next day -
