You should pay more attention to the pH level in your swimming pool to make sure that it will not do harm to your skin when immersing your body in it. If you are wondering how to lower the pH level in your pool, refer to the following steps:
Test the pH level
Use a pool water test kit to determine the current pH level in your pool. Aim for a pH level between 7.2 and 7.8.
Determine the amount of pH reducer needed
Based on the size of your pool, the pH level, and the desired target pH, use a pool water calculator or consult a pool supply store to determine the amount of pH reducer you will need.
Consider to use the pH reducer
Choose a pH reducer that is compatible with your pool's chemistry, such as muriatic acid or sodium bisulfate. Pour the recommended amount into a plastic container and then add it to the deep end of your pool while the pump is running.
Circulate the water
Run your pool's pump and filter system for at least 4 hours after adding the pH reducer to allow the chemical to circulate and evenly distribute throughout the pool.
Retest the pH level
Wait at least 2 hours after adding the pH reducer and retest the pH level to see if you've reached the desired target. Repeat the process as necessary to reach the desired pH level.
It is important to follow safety precautions when handling pool chemicals, such as wearing gloves and protective goggles and keeping the chemicals out of reach of children and pets.
