Certified Pool Operator Practice Test 2025 – Comprehensive Exam Prep

Question: 1 / 400

Pools using chlorine gas as a disinfectant produce hydrochloric acid, which can be neutralized with:

chlorine tablets

hydrogen peroxide

muriatic acid

soda ash

Chlorine tablets are also not a base and would not neutralize the hydrochloric acid. Therefore, the most appropriate and correct choice is option D soda ash, a common alkaline material used for pH adjustment in pools. It reacts with the hydrochloric acid to form water and a salt, effectively neutralizing the acid.
