Lowering The pH & Salt Water Systems..

Question

The ph is too high and I am in the process of lowering it.

Will this effect the run cycle on my salt water system?




Thanks for the question

Adjustments to salt water pools are just like regular chlorine pools. You can make any adjustments you need to make, with a few minor exceptions.

Salt Water Swimming Pools

Swimming Pool pH Levels

You can keep running your salt water pool while making your adjustments to the pH level.

When adding any muriatic acid or pH decreaser, be sure to stay away from the skimmer. You don't want any acid to go directly into the system.

Broadcast the acid in the deep end away from the skimmers.

Have a great swimming season.

It's a 5000 gallon pool. The pH is above 8.0ppm and the alkalinity is above 240.

I need help.
