Lowering Pool Alkalinity

Pool pH Is Normal but Alkalinity Is High; is your pool's pH perfectly balanced, but the total alkalinity reading is high? You're not alone. Many pool owners face this issue and get confused when a pH reducer like sodium bisulfate (aka pH Down) doesn't work. If your pool water looks balanced but causes cloudy water or scale buildup, high alkalinity could be the culprit. In this guide, you'll learn how to lower total alkalinity with muriatic acid, without completely sending your pH crashing.
