We recommend using hydrochloric acid to decrease pH for swimming pools and water treatment plants.  

For swimming pools:

  • The pH level in swimming pools must consistently be within a range of 7.4 – 7.6 to avoid irritation.
  • Chlorination is more effective when pH is below 7.4.
  • Too high of a pH can lead to a hazy, murky, or cloudy pool.
  • Over time, high pH can cause water to scale, resulting in clogged filters and fittings.

For water treatment plants:

  • Manganese removal requires adding an oxidant and a pH of 7.8 – 7.9.
  • Iron removal requires a pH of 7.4 – 7.9.
  • Coagulation processes depend on the coagulation agent, but usually a pH usually below 6.
