•Swimming Pool pH Adjustment:pH Reduction:Sodium Bisulphate is primarily used inswimming poolsto lower the pH when the water is too alkaline (pH above 7.8). High pH can lead to issues such as cloudy water, scale buildup, and reduced chlorine efficiency.Alkalinity Control:It is also effective in reducingtotal alkalinity, which can be important for achieving optimal pH balance in pool water. The proper pH range for swimming pools is between7.2 and 7.8, and Sodium Bisulphate helps maintain this balance.
•Spas and Hot Tubs:Maintain Ideal pH:Similar to pools, spas and hot tubs require balanced water chemistry for proper sanitization and comfort. Sodium Bisulphate is used to reduce high pH levels and prevent the formation of scale and cloudiness in the water.
•Industrial Water Treatment:Water pH Control:In industrial and commercial applications, Sodium Bisulphate is used in water treatment systems to reduce the pH of wastewater or process water. It helps neutralize alkaline water, making it easier to handle or treat further in processes likeflocculationorprecipitation.
•Cleaning and Descaling:Descaling Equipment:Sodium Bisulphate can be used to removemineral scalebuildup in industrial equipment, pipes, and water systems by reducing the pH and dissolving the deposits. It is often used in cleaning systems in boilers, cooling towers, and other machinery prone to scaling.
•Surface Treatment in Metalworking:Pickling and Cleaning:Sodium Bisulphate is sometimes used in metal surface cleaning processes to remove rust, scale, and other impurities. It is part of thepickling process, which helps prepare metals for further treatment.
