Ph

[Walter2050]

Good afternoon. I just had pebble tec come out and do some treatment for som discoloration on my pool . They used acid . After they left I tested using my Apera 60 ph meter and got a reading of 6.4 . Also my taylor test was below 6.8. . My alkalinity is at 40 . I try to keep it between 60 and 70 . I have high alkalinity in my fill water . I also fight high ph . Never had ph this low . I just turned on my water features to aerorate pool . It it ok to leave it like this for 24 hour to see if the aeroration brings it up ? Really didn’t want to add baking soda

I would suggest adding 20 ppm TA worth of baking soda. You do not want that water through your heater.

Will baking soda raise ph and alkalinity?

Alkalinity. pH will rise a bit too. Aeration will then raise the pH back into the 7's.
