Baking Soda from your grocery store works the same as the Bicarb the pool stores sell to raise PH. The local Wal-mart sells 8 lb bags for close to a dollar a pound. Shop for your best price. Be aware that baking soda will raise your alkalinity as well.

∙ 11y agothe pH can be raised by adding an alkaline chemical such as soda ash (which also raises total alkalinity quite a bit) or borax (which has only a slight effect on total alkalinity), or by aeration of the water to outgas CO2 (which will raise pH with no impact on total alkalinity).
Soda ash actually has very little effect on Total Alkalinity. Baking soda is the chemical to use to raise T/A.

Can you use household bleach in swimming pool to get the green out?
Yes, however not at all effectively as you would require a large amount of household strength bleach to have the same effect as the stuff you would get from a pool supplies shop. Once the water has gone green it requires a "shock dose" of chlorine or similar to kill off the growth, usually 10-15L (~2.5-4gal) of swimming pool strength chlorine is sufficient to "shock" a household pool (~<100,000L). It would be more effective to use household bleach to prevent the green from forming in the first place
