What is the best way to balance the pH of a pool or spa?
Ideally, a pool or spa should be kept at a PH level between 7.2 and 7.6. A very common problem with managing PH is that pool and spa water tend to always be on the low side of the PH scale (Too much Acid). Colorchlor and TechniChlor have a natural effect on raising PH which will help to minimize a low PH issue. If PH gets a little too high (Too much Base), you can always add a little white vinegar (Acid) from your kitchen cabinet to lower it. If your PH gets too low, you can add a few tablespoons of common baking soda (Base) to increase it. Always remember to leave your pool or spa circulating for a while before retesting.
