Whatever you do, do not add bleach to “balance” it. That’s like adding more fire to put out a fire. I’ve seen people try—it was a disaster. Also, don’t toss in random household chemicals like hydrogen peroxide (unless you’re a chemist). Pool chemistry is a delicate dance, not a frat party.
And please, please don’t jump in while you’re adding neutralizers. Give it at least 30 minutes to mix. You’re not a lab rat—you’re a person with eyes that shouldn’t burn.
