What does the mean of m alkalinity and p alkalinity in boiler water?

1. M-Alkalinity (also known as Total Alkalinity) measures the amount of carbonate, bicarbonate and hydroxide present in terms of "ppm as calcium carbonate". ( M-Alkalinity measurement is based on a sulphuric acid titration using a Methyl orange indicator that goes from yellow at a pH of 4.5 to orange at pH of 4.4 at the endpoint.) 2. P-Alkalinity measures the amount of carbonate and hydroxyl alkalinity present in terms of "ppm as calcium carbonate". P-alkalinity is measured down to a pH of 8.3. The M-alkalinity is measured down to a pH of 4.3.


What causes low alkalinity?

Improperly sanitized water or excessive rainfall can cause a low total alkalinity level in your pool. Low total alkalinity can cause pool staining, itchy and burning eyes and skin, and corrosion of metal parts in the pool.

How do you raise the pH level in the pool?

there are two primary chemicals on the merket used to do this. 1.) soda ash usually packaged under the name pH rise or pH increaser. 2.)sodium bicarbonate usually packaged under the name alkalinity rise or alkalinity increaser. both of the above chemicals will increase both the pH and Alkalinity of the swimming pool water. always make sure your alkalinity is balanced before making any pH adjustment. it is also important to understand pH and alkalinity always move together and in the same direction. so a pH adjustment will cause a change in your alkalinity level the same way a alkalinity adjustment will cause a change in your pH. when you increase pH, alkalinity will also increase when you decrease pH, alkalinity will also decrease when you raise alkalinity, pH will also rise. always dose chemicals according to the directions on the chemical container and the volume of water you are treating.


Your alkalinity is really high How do you lower it without lowering the pH too?

pH refers to the level of acidity or alkalinity. less than 7 is acidic, more than 7 is alkaline. if you want to lower your alkalinity, add muriatic acid. It will lower the pH though
