Best Answer

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.

How do you raise the alkline level of your pool water?

You can raise the alkaline level if your pool water by adding sodium bicarbonate (aka baking soda). It is recommended that you raise the alkaline in small increments because it is easier to raise your total alkaline levels slightly if its a little too high or too low.
