If the pool water was found to be pH 8.0, should an acid or base be added to return it back to normal (pH 7.2-7.6)? What type of double displacement reaction is this?

when [oh-] is 10-5  m, and [h3o+] is 10-9  m, the poh is 5 and ph is 9. again in both cases the sum of ph and poh is 14. however, the hydrogen ion concentration is not always going to be equal to exactly 1 x 10 raised to a negative number. for example, we skipped over the value of 2.0 x 10-7.
