    Browse around on Poolsolutions.com and you will find the answers. It consists of lowering pH with acid, then aerating the pool water to reduce alkalinity.

    The process is to lower both PH and alkalinity with acid and then to bring up the PH with aeration. Here is a link:

    That's what I meant to say, but I think I needed a comma to seperate the reducing alkalinity part. Maybe I shoulda proofread it.
