Your local pool store should have pH decreaser.
Answerby buying a chemical called pH minus AnswerHi Aaron,You can use the pH Minus product mentioned or you can go purchase some Muriatic Acid. Be careful using this as it does have a very strong odor and is harmful if breathed or stays on your skin too long. I've used both pH Minus and muriatic acid. My experience with pH Minus (a dry acid) is that it worked just fine in lowering my pH level. I've have good luck, and quick results, in lowering my pH levels and Total Alkalinity levels, which has been a very big problem for me this season thus far.
You want to maintain your pH levels at about 7.6 - 7.4 .
You can use muriatic acid. Just be careful as it's, obviously, acidic and will eat through 5 layers of skin before you can wash it off. Goggles, and rubber gloves for safety.
Also, run your pH between 7.6-7.8, not 7.4. The pH in water will naturally rise and when you get your alkalinity in range, about 80-100ppm, your pH should be locked in at 7.6-7.8. You'll need to use too much acid to keep your pool pH lower. Most "pool experts" say to run your pH around 7.2, and that's just plain wrong.
They get their info. from an index used by your local water treatment system, and not from an index specifically designed for pools.
Dry acid is about 4 times more expensive than muriatic acid. Chlorine is about 80% efficient at a pH of 7.2 and only 40% efficient at 7.8 meaning it takes twice as much chlorine at the higher pH to provide equal sanitation. Keep the Total Alkalinity at a minimum of 100ppm even if you have to add a little baking soda once in awhile, especially if you are using any dry or tablet form of stabilized chlorine (isocyanurates).
Hello
Acording to my wife who deals with our pool, she said you have to reduce the pH balance by putting in some PH minus then make sure the water has been swirling about for a while it will then reduce the PH level then look at the tester to get the right colour hope this has been helpful

Soda ash is an excellent product specifically for this purpose.
Add Muriatic Acid. Always check your pool chemistry after changing the pH.
Go to the local pool supply store and buy the necessary chemicals.

How do you lower the Ph in the inground swimming pool?
add a PH reducer chemical
What will result if sodium bicarbonate is used to lower ph in a swimming pool?
Using sodium bicarbonate to lower pH in a swimming pool is not effective. Sodium bicarbonate, or baking soda, is typically used to raise pH levels in pools. To lower pH in a pool, an acid such as muriatic acid or sodium bisulfate should be used.
How could HCI be used in a swimming pool?
To adjust pH and/or lower alkalinity.
How do you lower the alkilinity of a swimming pool?
You have to know what you are doing. The addition of muriatic acid lowers the pH and total alkalinity in swimming pools.
How can you use sodium metabisulfite to lower the PH of your swimming pool when it also neutralizes the chlorine?
No. You will also get a bad smell or odor from your pool water. Where did you get this idea????

How do you raise the pH levels in your pool?
To raise the pH levels in your pool, you can add pH increaser or sodium carbonate. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper dosage based on your pool's size and current pH level. It's important to test your pool water regularly and adjust the pH as needed to maintain a balanced and safe swimming environment.
What should you do if the pH of your pool is at 8.2?
To lower the pH of your pool from 8.2, you can add muriatic acid or sodium bisulfate. Follow manufacturer guidelines and test the pH frequently to ensure it is within the recommended range of 7.2-7.8 for swimming pools.
A swimming-pool worker wants the pool's pH to be 7.2. She comes by to test the water and finds that the pH is 9.2. What should she do to correct this situation?
To lower the pH from 9.2 to 7.2, the worker should add an acid, such as muriatic acid or pH decreaser, to the pool water. She should follow the manufacturer's instructions on the product to gradually lower the pH level, frequently testing the water until it reaches the desired pH of 7.2.

What is the Difference of sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate for treating swimming pool PH?
No it cannot. Sodium bicarb has a ph of 8.4. To lower ph you would need to use a dry acid (sodium bisulphate) or muriatic acid. City water is normally treated and has a ph of 7.5 but it would take a large amount of fresh water to lower the ph of a pool.
I am using a lot of acid in my pool?
That Acid is called Muriatic Acid. You put it in your swimming pool to lower the PH of the water. At lower PH Levels, the chlorine you use to sanitize the pool is more active, as a disinfectant. You MUST be careful not to put too MUCH Muriatic Acid in your pool! PH that is too low will create potentially deadly fumes, so test your water. Low pH is corrosive to plaster and metal pool parst.
