Alkalinity and pH: Swipe Left or Right?

As a pool servicing company, we've seen it all when it comes to pool chemistry. But, one of the most common things we talk about is the relationship between pH and alkalinity. Let's dive in!

As you may know, pH is like that unpredictable friend who can't make up their mind. One day they're super acidic and the next day they're too basic. But, don't worry, we know just how to handle them! And, alkalinity is like that reliable friend who always has your back. They're the backbone of your pool chemistry and keep everything in line.

At Timber Ridge Pools, we take pride in our ability to balance pH and alkalinity to perfection. It's like a puzzle, and we love putting the pieces together. When pH starts to go up, we know just how much acid to add to bring it back down. And, when alkalinity starts to go down, we add just the right amount of baking soda to bring it back up. It's a delicate dance, but we've got the moves!

One of the reasons we love what we do is because we get to play pool chemistry matchmaker. We know that when pH and alkalinity are happy together, your pool will be happy too. And, who doesn't want a happy pool?

So, if you ever find yourself scratching your head trying to figure out the relationship between pH and alkalinity, just give us a call. We're here to make sure your pool chemistry is always in line. After all, at Timber Ridge Pools, we don't just service pools, we create a backyard oasis!
