pH vs. Total Alkalinity, and Their Roles in Pool Chemistry
00:00 - Intro
01:32 - What is pH?
02:30 - pH is an equilibrium
07-58 - Negative logarithm of Hydrogen
08:43 - Let's not try to control pH. Physics is going to raise the pH in swimming pools.
09:50 - Henry's Law of the Solubility of Gases
12:23 - Buy a pH probe to find out your exact pH.
12:37 - Your pH can raise from algae, vanishing edge pools, spas, spillover, or salt cell.
18:53 - Problems occur when pH lowers the LSI and water is starving for calcium
21:16 - What is Alkalinity?
27:38 - Adjusting alkalinity
