5000 gallon pool maintenance?

Question

How do I know how much PH increaser or ph reducer to use on a 5000 gallon pool. to help balance the PH level?

Answer 1

You can buy a pool water test kit for like $10.00 and it comes with the solutions and instructions you will need. Your local  pool shop or at the Major stores like Miejers, K-Mart, and Walmarts all sell the kits.

Answer 2

Usually the acid (lowers PH) will not have a chart or anything on the container.  You will have to guess.  I just use ¼ bottle each day, until the PH is where I want it.

The PH increaser is nothing more than potash, or sodium bicarbonate.  You will need to look at the chart.  I assume their is ot chart of you would not be asking.  I would use the same approach (1/3 of the container per day).
