Unearthing the Legend: The Witch with a 12-Foot Stature

In the world of folklore and mythology, witches have always been depicted as mysterious and powerful figures. But imagine a witch with a stature of 12 feet - now that's truly awe-inspiring! This towering witch would command attention and awe wherever she went, with her imposing presence alone. Her height would give her an air of authority and power, making it clear that she is not to be trifled with. People would be both fearful and fascinated by her, drawn to her presence while also aware of the danger she could potentially pose. With her long limbs and towering figure, she would have an advantage in many activities. Her increased reach would make her a formidable opponent in battles or conflicts, allowing her to strike from a distance and keep her enemies at bay.

Her increased reach would make her a formidable opponent in battles or conflicts, allowing her to strike from a distance and keep her enemies at bay. Her stature would also give her an advantage in intimidation, as her mere physical presence alone would be enough to make most individuals hesitate or back down. But despite her intimidating appearance, this giant witch would have her own story, her own desires, and her own struggles.

How do those with waterfalls deal with high PH

Aeration obviously raises PH. For those with waterfalls or fountains or other nice add-ons that contribute to natural aeration, how do you deal with your PH? Assuming you have your alkalinity in check, does your PH remain at an appropriate level regardless of aeration? Or, does it rise and require being dealt with on a regular basis? Seems like it would be a constant see-saw effect with having rise, having to lower it, so on and so forth.

I ask because I made a homemade aerator to get my alkalinity down, and now that I've done that, I'd like to run it regularly because I like the effect. But I don't want to inadvertently cause my PH to spike as a result, and that seems inevitable. It also seems inevitable to occur for anyone with any sort of waterfall type component.

Many pool owners use muriatic acid somewhat routinely to compensate for the rise in pH aeration causes.

I have both a natural stone waterfall (driven by a 3-HP pool pump so it is very powerful) and a spillway from my raised spa to the pool. This creates a lot of aeration. The main way I deal with this aeration is first by running my water features for the absolute least amount of time possible (they are all automated with programmed schedules). Next, I keep my TA as low as possible (typically 60ppm or less). And finally, I use 50ppm borates in my pool water to act as an additional buffer against pH rise. By doing all this, I can keep my muriatic acid additions to about 16oz of acid every 10 days or so.

Ahh, so it's all in the borates. Thanks for the replies. I knew acid was used to lower PH, but it will also lower TA which will then need to be raised if it gets too low which is why I was concerned about a see-saw effect.

I will look into borates. Thanks!

Actually, it's not all in the borates. In fact, borates will only help a little and, for some, there was/is no improvement at all when borates were added.

pH rise from aeration is not a independent, constant process; it is integrally related to your TA level. You TA and pH levels determine the amount of dissolved CO2 in your pool water (more dissolved CO2 the lower the pH and higher the TA). When you aerate your pool water, you liberate CO2 from the water (a process called outgassing) and, because you have bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) dissolved in your water, an equilibrium reaction occurs whereby the bicarbonate ion consumes a proton (H+) in order to restore the amount of CO2 lost from aeration. When this bicrabonate/CO2 shift happens, your pH rises. As you add acid to lower the pH, the TA gets lowered as well. As the TA decreases, so to does the amount of dissolved CO2 allowed by the equilibrium chemistry. Because of this lowering of the TA, the rate at which pH rises from aeration gets slower and slower. Eventually, if the TA is low enough, the amount of pH rise will stop and you find yourself (sometimes, not always) at a balance point.

This is why when people experience pH rise form aeration, we first tell them to lower their TA and try to find a TA level that minimizes the frequency of acid additions. Sometimes their acid demand problem can be solved simply by lower TA, sometimes it can't and then borates are recommended. So, in your case, rather than running off and buying expensive chemicals, why don't you first run your aerator/fountain for a while and see what happens. You may not, in fact, experience much pH rise at all. Even if you do, your first order of business is to lower your TA to try to correct the problem, not add borates.

I will look into borates. Thanks!

She may be lonely and yearn for companionship, or she may use her height to assert dominance over others.
