My pool's pH level is fine, but is low on chlorine, and high on total alkalinity. How do I fix this?

Question

Thanks for all the input! =)

Answer 1

put more chlorine in your pool. not sure about the alkalinity.if you go to swimming pool upkeep ,com it will help good luck.

Answer 2

Regular bleach replaces chlorine tablets. I use 1/2 gallon a day in my pool. Put it in just before dark after the swimmers are out. Sun depletes it so putting it in late in the day lets it work all night. Baking soda lowers the PH. Rain usually raises it. I test the PH once a week & add baking soda if necessary. I seldom buy pool chemicals. About twice a year I have a sample of my water checked & it is usually fine or needs very little to get it back in balance.

Answer 3

Mine too. I'd just raise the chlorine level and forget the alkalinity. It's too hard to lower w/o affecting the pH. Use your filter more to eliminate cloudiness.
