Best Answer

Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) should not be used to adjust Ph. Baking soda is a total alkalinity increaser. While this will adjust Ph, it will also raise the alkalinity of the pool far to much, and make it difficult to maintain the Ph in the future. Ignore your friends that tell you otherwise. Cutting corners by using commercial baking soda will only create more problems for you in the end. Splurge a little on the 5 bucks to buy a proper pH balancer and get your water analyzed by a professional. Most are more than willing to do it for free, on the condition that you shop with them.
