Baking Soda is typically used to lower the alkalinity of a pool, not to eliminate wrinkles. The easiest way to reduce the wrinkles in a pool that still has water in it is to use a plunger. Press the plunger down about 6 inches from the wrinkle and try to pull the liner up and away from the wrinkle. Then repeat the process. The wrinkle should move and each time get a little less. NC < Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, and is used to INCREASE alkalinity.

No, baking soda raises total alkalinity, it does not decrease calcium or magnesion hardness. the ONLY way to easily soften pool water (lower the calcium hardness) is by water replacement with softer water.

YES. HCL (muriatic acid ) and sodium bicarbonate are used to achieve the proper pH 7.2-7.8. Any number below 7 is acidic any number above 7 is alkaline.
