In a home pool when the PH is far too high,would it be (PH minus) that you would add?
Answer:
The answer is YES,
When the pH is high the water is acid, when the pH is low the water is alkaline. So if your pH is too high then it follows that the alkalinity is too high also,
In my pool I reduce the pH by adding a solution of hydrochloric acid.
For more info on pool maintenance have a look at my website www.theojm.com
Hope this helps
yes
pH too high is too high alkalinity.
You have a solution called pH minus? Then that should lower the pH.
I believe that you would add acid to it.
pH 14 is alkaline
pH 1 is acid
pH 7 is neutral
what is the pH reading?
A high pH is the mark of an alkaline solution. To make it neutral, one have to add acid; that means to lower the pH.
So yeah: pH minus is what you need.
muriatic acid is what most pools add as a "pH downer"...you should be able to find it at any pool equipment supplier.
***attached is a link indicating how much acid should be used to lower pool pH, depending on volume (you could probably find this on the container as well). despite its strength, it is perfectly safe to use in pools...a lot of commercial and home pools use it to lower pH as well as for cleaning. i helped manage a city pool for 4 years, and it's all we ever used.

Add an acid, be careful which one though there could be poisonous products
if its high(Ph 14) add citricacid by kilo and if it acidic(Ph 1), baking soda should take care of it, plus it is used in bath salts
add acid
You have a high alkalinity content. What you add depends on how high the pH is and how did it get there ?
You cannot add acids, as such, to the pool. (Chlorination by NaOCl (Sodium Hypochlorite (or Chlorine tablets)), should help to bring the pH down).
Otherwise, the safest way would be to drain out some or all of the pool water and refill with fresh water (Neutral pH 7.0).
(Muriatic acid is Hydrochloric acid ...I, personally, wouldn't use it in any large quantity).
