What Happens When the pH Is Not Corrected?
Before deciding to complain to your maintenance technician or supplier about the performance of the chemicals, read the following article for reasons why the pH is not corrected despite adding a large amount of the corresponding chemical.
- High Alkalinity Levels As we have mentioned in previous articles, alkalinity affects the pH value accordingly. Therefore, when alkalinity is out of range, the pH will also fluctuate. What most people would do in such a case is try to correct the pH value with the corresponding chemical. However, you will find that either the correct dosage, according to the volume of your pool, does not correct the value as expected, or it is very unstable and changes very easily with any change (weather conditions, number of swimmers, high temperatures, etc.)
The solution to this problem is continuous measurement of all necessary parameters in the water. The first measurement that should be done in the pool water before correcting the pH is alkalinity, and then it should be adjusted.
