Acids vs Bases

All pool chemistry centers around the question is the pool acidic or basic?  And then what should the balance be?

Understanding this interaction is key to understanding how the chemistry in the pool works

By gaining a deeper understanding of how chemistry works in the pool, you will be able to analyze and solve problems quicker and make sure what you put into the pool gets the reaction you want. By getting the chemistry right, you’ll spend less effort and get more out of what you do. 

What are acids 

Understanding what a base is and how too much or too little affects the chemistry in the pool.
