Bicarbonate will RAISE the pH and total alkalinity.
raising the pH level of the swimming poolThe recommended pH-range for a swimming pool is between 7.2 and 7.8. To raise or lower pH, alkali such as sodium carbonate (soda ash) or sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) will added to the water. thanks hope it helps you heaps!!
By adding baking soda, you can raise the pool's pH. Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) is a base, which neutralizes acidity.
Soda ash (sodium carbonate) raises pH without significantly affecting Total Alkalinity (T/A). Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) raises T/A without significantly affecting pH. pH levels below 7.0 should be corrected immediately to prevent damage to equipment and the pool surface.
my sack
Yes, but I was informed not to add more than 2 pounds of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) at one time. I tried this and it does raise the pH of your swimming pool.
Lowers the Ph
Because you're a doucher with a pool.
It lowers PH
a swimming pool it should be neutral pH ie green
add a PH reducer chemical
