Product information

    Sodium bisulfate, also known as sodium hydrogen sulfate (NaHSO4), is commonly used as a pH reducer in various applications. It is an salt and is particularly effective for lowering the pH of water.

    • Using sodium bisulfate as a pH reducer involves adding the compound to the water or solution that needs its pH adjusted. Here are general guidelines for using sodium bisulfate: Determine Current pH: Test the pH of the water using a pH testing kit or pH meter. This will help you determine the current acidity or alkalinity of the water. Calculate Dosage: Determine the amount of sodium bisulfate needed to achieve the desired pH level. This may vary based on the volume of water and the degree of pH adjustment required. Dissolve in Water: Dissolve the calculated amount of sodium bisulfate in a small amount of water. Stir the solution to ensure that the sodium bisulfate is fully dissolved. Slowly Add to Water: Add the dissolved sodium bisulfate solution slowly to the water that needs pH adjustment. This can be done by pouring it directly into the water or using a dosing system if one is available. Monitor pH: After adding the sodium bisulfate, retest the pH of the water. Continue adding sodium bisulfate in small increments until the desired pH level is achieved. Wait and Retest: Allow some time for the sodium bisulfate to fully mix and take effect. Retest the pH periodically to ensure that the desired level is maintained. Adjust as Needed: If the pH is still not at the desired level, repeat the process by adding more sodium bisulfate in small increments. It's important not to overshoot the target pH, as this could lead to an overly acidic environment. Safety Precautions: Always follow safety guidelines provided by the manufacturer. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and eye protection, when handling sodium bisulfate. Keep Records: Keep records of the amount of sodium bisulfate added and the resulting pH levels. This information can be useful for future adjustments and troubleshooting.
    • Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and eye protection, when handling sodium bisulfate.

    Features and benefits

      Applications:


      Swimming Pools: Sodium bisulfate is commonly used in swimming pools to reduce and control the pH of the water. Maintaining the proper pH level in a pool is essential for the effectiveness of chlorine and other disinfectants.


      Water Treatment: In various industrial and municipal water treatment processes, sodium bisulfate may be used to adjust the pH of the water to meet specific requirements.


      Cleaning Agents: It can be found in some cleaning products where pH adjustment is necessary for optimal cleaning performance.


      Chemical Processes: In certain chemical manufacturing processes, sodium bisulfate may be used to control the pH of reaction mixtures.
