there are two primary chemicals on the merket used to do this.
1.) soda ash usually packaged under the name pH rise or pH increaser.
2.)sodium bicarbonate usually packaged under the name alkalinity rise or alkalinity increaser.
both of the above chemicals will increase both the pH and Alkalinity of the swimming pool water.
always make sure your alkalinity is balanced before making any pH adjustment.
it is also important to understand pH and alkalinity always move together and in the same direction. so a pH adjustment will cause a change in your alkalinity level the same way a alkalinity adjustment will cause a change in your pH.
when you increase pH, alkalinity will also increase
when you decrease pH, alkalinity will also decrease
when you raise alkalinity, pH will also rise.
always dose chemicals according to the directions on the chemical container and the volume of water you are treating.

How do I raise pool acidity level?
If the pool is too acidic, pH is low, add soda ash (sodium carbonate). If it is too alkaline, pH is high, add muriatic acid.
How do you raise the pH levels in your pool?
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!!
How do you lower pH level in pool?
You can lower the PH level by using this stuff called PH Down. Go to a local pool store and ask about it.
How do you raise pH level in pool?
You can use soda ash (sodium carbonate), sold as pH Increaser, pH UP or Arm & Hammer Washing soda. You can also use borax, sold as 20 Mule Team Borax. Sodium bicarbonate, sold as baking soda, Alkalinity Increaser or Alk Up, will raise pool pH levels, but not very efficiently.
Why is the pH in my pool always high?
High chlorine levels will make the pH in your pool high. You can add borates to help stabilize the pH level in your pool.
Why can't you raise the pH level in my pool?
Because you're a doucher with a pool.
How much baking soda do you add to lower the pH level in an above ground pool?
Baking soda will almost certainly raise the pH level in a pool.
How can you raise pH level from 6.2 to 7.4 in your 24000 gallon pool?
how to raise ph level from 6.2 to 7.4? Chlorine is 3.
Should you use baking soda or soda ash to raise the ph level of your 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

Raise pH level in swimming pool?
Soda ash (sodium carbonate) raises pH without significantly affecting Total Alkalinity (T/A). Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) raises T/A without significantly affecting pH. pH levels below 7.0 should be corrected immediately to prevent damage to equipment and the pool surface.
Your pH in your pool is just a little high how much pH decrease do you need?
It depends on the volume of your pool and what level your Ph is at.
Does muredic acid raise or lower pH in a pool?
Acid lowers the PH number. You want the pH to be between 7.0 and 7.4. To raise the ph you can use baking soda.
