Question

How would a low pH level in a dilution pond be corrected?




increasing water temperature


adding sulphuric acid


adding muratic acid


adding alkaline material (soda ash)

Answer 1

Adding alkaline material (soda ash). Low pH = too acidic, so you raise pH by neutralizing acidity with an alkali (soda ash/limestone/hydrated lime). Test pH, calculate and add the correct dose slowly, mix and retest to avoid overshooting.
