pool math

[whitemok]

If my previous results are:
pH: 7.4
Bromine: 4
Alkalinity: 60
Calcium: 200
Using "effects from adding chemical: from pool math. How do I determine how much my pH will increase by 0.1?
Raise alk by 48?
I input 16oz of baking soda. It says:
raise TA by 48 and raise pH by 0.1
Thanks. Aloha

I am not real clear on what your question is. Can you reword it or make it stand out more please?

[whitemok]

yes Kim,
thank you.
I wanted to know how much pH will go up from 7.4 to 7.5 or 7.6 or 7.7 and such after I added 16 oz of alkalinity .Not sure how much 0.1 is . is this ppm or something else?
I also don't know the effect of "48".
It says " raise TA by 48 and raise pH by 0.1"

Hi Whitemok. What are you trying to set out to achieve or is it simply hypothetical? Your TA and pH look fine where they are?

 

[kimkats]

1.0 is 1 ppm so 0.1 will be 1 tenth of that.

What that means is that, if you have 1500 gal entered at the top of PoolMath, if you add 16oz of baking soda to your pool that it will raise TA by 48 ppm and raise PH by 0.1, ie from 7.5 to 7.6.

ah now I see that. makes sense. thanks pooldv
