What is one method of preventing low pH levels in pool water?

Using pH increasers is an effective method for preventing low pH levels in pool water. Low pH levels can lead to corrosive water, which can damage pool surfaces and equipment, as well as cause skin and eye irritation for swimmers. By using pH increasers, which typically contain sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate, pool operators can raise the pH level of the water to the desired range (between 7.2 and 7.8). This not only protects the pool infrastructure but also ensures a safer and more comfortable environment for users.

The pH increasers help to balance the water chemistry, and regular monitoring and adjustment are essential for maintaining optimal swimming conditions.
