Too Acidic to Swim – Fixing Low pH Fast
from The Pool Guy Podcast Show · host David Van Brunt
In this episode, I’m tackling very low pH in swimming pools—what causes it, how it affects your swimmers, pool surfaces, and equipment, and most importantly, how to fix and prevent it. Whether it's rain, overuse of acid, or just imbalance, low pH is more common than you'd think. I’ll also share how I use 20 Mule Team Borax as part of the solution.Send us Fan MailSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors! HASA https://bit.ly/HASAThe Bottom Feeder.
