What can we use in our salt water pool to lower the alkalinity?
 Reply

To decrease the alkalinity level in you pool, you can use dry acid, muriatic acid or simply partially drain and refill the pool. Just use caution as the acid will bring down the pH as well.

My test kit only check for chlorine and pH. What does the alkalinity do?

Total Alkalinity is a measure of the "buffering capacity" of water, or its ability to resist a change in pH. Low Total Alkalinity can cause: etching of pool plaster, corrosion of metal parts, staining of the pool surfaces, etc. High Total Alkalinity can cause cloudy water, burning of eyes, chlorine being ineffective, etc.

My alkalinity tested low

Written on 8/25/2022 by Guest

I was advised to increase a pool alkalinity and based on the water test it was required to add 10lb of Alkalinity Increaser. Bought this product online at INYOPOOLS. Add the product to the pool following instructions on the bag.

Works fine. Happy with results
