How much baking soda to soften pool water?

What kind of swimming pool parts do I need to keep my in-ground pool's water clean?
To keep your swimming pool clean you will need a filters and a water pump. A vacuum would as be a good idea.
How do you bring the pH level down in an above ground pool?

What will keep pool pump from sucking water from pool?
The pool pump does suck the water from the pool. Then it goes thru the filter and (if you use have the following) thru the heater and chlorinator then back into the pool. So - nothing will keep it from sucking water from the pool - but that's a good thing. Now - if you set the valve to a different setting - then it might actually send the water to a waste line - maybe that's what you meant. If that's the case -then the pool pump will eventually drain your whole pool if you have it set to get the water from the bottom drain (another valve).

What does baking soda have to do with water purification?
In a swimming pool , baking soda (sodium Bicarboante) is used to help keep alkalinity levels in the right target zone. around 80-120 ppm. The important factor is it goes hand in hand with the calcium hardness (200-400) to achieve balanced water. When these are balanced it acts like a buffer for the ph and easier to maintain good clear water along with the sanitizer being used. Ph in turn can damage a pool if its too high or low and the sanitizers effect is related to the proper ph 7.4-7.6
Should you tie the pool water leveler to the water softener?
You can, if the water presently in the pool is 'hard' - but be very careful to keep an eye on the Calcium Hardness of the pool water. If you filled a pool with water from the softener, the water would be hungry for calcium and drag it out of the pool walls, making them feel and look like sandpaper. Calcium hardness should be kept within 200-275ppm. best to use regular water for topup and keep the pool water properly balanced (see your local pool store).
