pH Management

pH management involves monitoring and adjusting the acidity or alkalinity in a system—such as a pool, aquarium, or biological process—to maintain optimal conditions. The pH scale measures how acidic or basic a solution is, ranging from 0 (very acidic) to 14 (very basic), with 7 being neutral. Proper pH levels are essential for health, safety, and function; for instance, in pools, it ensures comfortable water and effective sanitation, while in biology, it keeps enzymes working properly. Maintaining the correct pH involves adding acids or bases as needed to keep conditions stable and balanced.
