Baking soda is not the best choice as it more readily increases Total Alkalinity. Soda ash on the other hand will do an excellent job. (available at most hardware stores as an acid neutralizer)
No it will raise the pH level. You would use it if your pool was too acidic.
Baking soda will almost certainly raise the pH level in a pool.

Use Soda Ash to increase the PH level. Baking soda can be used to maintain the alkalinity of the pool water. Just the opposite!!!! Baking Soda will increase or raise the alk. Soda Ash raises the pH. Muriatic Acid lowers pH. k
No, you use sodium thiosulfate.
you need to purchase baking soda, they sell it at wal mart in 12lbs bags in the pool care section, this will keep your water clear and lower the PH
the pH level of baking soda is 8.5
baking soda actually raises pH so do not use. check pH level and get that straight first.
Add Baking Soda, if you find the large bags of Arm and Hammer baking soda it will say right on the back of it. Adding baking soda actually increases pH because it is a base. >7 basic <7 acidic
Baking soda will not soften (remove calcium hardness) from pool water. It will raise total alkalinity.
According to the MSDS it is sodium bicarbonate or baking soda
baking soda
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!!
