The most effective way to maintain proper pH levels in a pool is to regularly test the pH levels and adjust them as needed using a standard pool chemical such as muriatic acid or sodium bicarbonate. It is also important to make sure the chlorine levels and total alkalinity levels are within an acceptable range, as these can affect the pool's pH as well. Additionally, make sure any equipment or filters are working properly and check for leaks.

Keeping your pool’s pH levels in check is a vital part of maintaining a healthy swimming environment. The best practices for doing so include regular testing of the pH levels, making sure not to shock or add chemicals to the water when the pH level is low, and only using non-phosphate detergents on pool equipment. It is also important to ensure proper filtration and backwash filter systems regularly; failure to do so can lead rapid changes in the pH balance. Finally, adding liquid alkaline granules on a weekly basis can help keep unbalanced acidity at bay and restore your pools desired pH value within time.
