Hi Randy, recently I used sodium hydroxide as a alkalinity supplement, the PH has stabilized from 8.0 to 8.2, the effect is very good, but every time there are a lot of white precipitates, so I am a little upset.

That is precipitation. That will not redissolve.I can use the pump to blow away the sediment. If I don't use the pump, the sediment will remain for a long time,Is this a reaction?
This is common with hydroxide dosing. I dose I to a power heard that dissolves it very quickly.I can use the pump to blow away the sediment. If I don't use the pump, the sediment will remain for a long time,Is this a reaction?
Yeah, I blew it off with a pump, and it dissolved very quickly, it should be magnesium hydroxide, but I used sodium bicarbonate before, and over time, it will have a white substance, and I guess it should be calcium carbonate, because it doesn't dissolve.Thanks for your help, Randy, so I don't have to worry anymoreIf it redissolves, it is magnesium hydroxide and that temporary formation is normal but try to mix it in faster to avoid settling of the solids.
If it doesn’t redissolve, it is calcium carbonate. You want to avoid that as it wastes the additives.
Hello @Randy Holmes-Farley ,
In the version of "sodium hydroxide"
Is it necessary to add sodium sulfate for "Part 2" of Alkalinity?
If I periodically use "Balling C"...
