I have about two gallons of muriatic acid that I need to neutralize. What is the best and safest way to do this?

Thanks, Joe

Last post

Your pH of 8.4 is very high and so the chlorine you add cannot work effectively at all. The recommended range is 7.0 - 7.6 . Your alkalinity is also...

You could try 2-3 ounces/10,000 gallons/day as a starting point, and measure the free chlorine levels to fine tune it for your pool. No two pools are...

cyanuric acid

by cmcovey » Thu 21 Jul, 2005 14:52

First post

When I test, my cyanuric acid level is always at zero. How can I get this up to the happy zone????

Last post

Are you changing your water very often? Cyanuric acid normally never goes away, unless you have a leak and are constantly refilling your pool.

Last post

The stick chlorine you use probably has a pH of under 3, and may be lowering the pH of the pool water. Low pH or low total alkalinity can result in...
