Answer:

The water is acidic.

Acidic water can be corrosive to the kiddie pool, ruining the material it is made of. Acid water can also irritate the skin and the eyes causing a burning sensation

Step-by-step explanation:

The pH scale ranges from 1-14 with 1 being extremely acidic, 14 being extremely basic and 7 being neutral. So 6.3 is acidic

Having a pH of 6.3 for a kiddie pool would be considered as acidic. You need to increase this value to keep it safe for use. The safest pH level would be from 7.2 to 7.4. This would be safe for the skin of the one who uses the pool. Hope this answers the question.
