That’s a clear pool

[@diymanual]

Thanks.

Can you please tell me how can I rise up my alkalinity.. it is to low , hp low too And I have cloudy water.. Please help 😢

[@diymanual]

To raise Alkalinity, you will need to add baking soda. That will also help increase your PH. Your cloudy water can be a cause of PH imbalance or algae bloom. Check your chlorine level. If it is zero then you want to shock your pool.

[@maru6713]

Just add baking soda for pool, you can find it in any Walmart

[@chalotorres3957]

@@maru6713how much baking soda?

[@JuniorFarquar]

I have a 30k gal Lazy L. Why add the muriatic acid? The purpose? pH?

[@diymanual]

Muriatic Acid will lower the PH and Alkalinity of your pool. If you have a High PH you will add the muriatic acid to bring it down to acceptable range between 7.2 and 7.8. Hope this helps.

Hiw long does it take til u can swim in water after adding

[@kevinscott-bl6sj]

Wait at least 30 minutes before swimming

[@diymanual]

I always wait at least 30 minutes after adding acid or chlorine to give the chemical a chance to mix property with the water.

[@diymanual]

I just wanted to add. I just bought another brand of muriatic acid specifically for swimming pool and the label says to wait 2 hours after adding acid before entering the water. The previous gallon that I have does not have that information and I usually just wait a minimum of 30 minutes. But I have a small pool and I would use the bucket to quickly disperse the acid after pouring the acid maybe that makes a difference.

STEP ONE PUT ON SAFETY GOGGLES OR GLASSES ask me why I think safety glasses or goggles are VERY VERY IMPORTANT! I HAD SPLASH BACK FROM ADDING ACID TO MY POOL WATER BECAUSE ACID IS HEAVIER THAN WATER AND EASILY CREATES A SPLASH BACK ...ALWAYS RUN YOUR FILTER WHEN ADDING ACID.

[@diymanual]

Thanks for sharing your experience. Agree, safety is number 1. I used to wear safety glass and gloves when I first handle acid but got too comfortable because I have been doing it for 3 years now and just got lazy going into my garage to get my gloves and safety glass. Now, that you shared your experience, I will keep the gloves and safety glass where I can easily access them for future use.

That’s for rookies just pour it in

[@diymanual]

Thanks for your input!

[@bmorebetter2032]

Now I have to know what happens if you add water to the acid

[@diymanual]

I am not willing to try but in my understanding, the acid can become really hot due to the reaction and can splash out and cause injury. I hope someone with more knowledge on chemical reaction can chime in.

[@kevinscheifele6833]

Will get very hot. Called exothermic reaction. If you added water to sulphuric acid in a bucket, major fume and may boil and melt bucket. Muriatic is much less violent. But you would def get a bad reaction.

[@diymanual]

Thanks for sharing this information! It's always important to be careful when dealing with chemicals and understand the reactions they can cause.
