By adding baking soda, you can raise the pool's pH. Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) is a base, which neutralizes acidity.

Do swimming pools raise the price of the house or not?

Yes and no. If your buyer wants a pool... it raises. If your buyer does not want a pool... it lowers. I don't know the statistical answer, but common sense says that someone will pay more for what they want and less when they are settling for something. It also depends on your area- if most people in that area have pools, then the majority of the time it will increase the price. If most people in the area do not have pools, then chances are, it's not going to be something in demand.
