thanks hope it helps you heaps!!
Raise
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.
I'm a chemist waste water operator and we use caustic soda to raise pH levels and sulfuric acid to lower pH levels
High chlorine levels will make the pH in your pool high. You can add borates to help stabilize the pH level in your pool.
To raise the pH of your pool you add soda ash (sodium carbonate). To lower the pH of your pool add muriatic acid (hydrochloric acid) or sodium bisulfate. You should always add chemicals with the pump running and check your levels again once the newly added chemicals have been circulated around the pool.
You would be safest using Baquacil pH Increaser, which is a high purity, highly active dry alkaline product used to raise pool pH. In non-Baquacil pool water, both Soda Ash and Hydrochloric acid are used to raise pH levels. Pool shops are a good place to seek advice also.

Soda Ash
Because you're a doucher with a 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.
To raise the pH of your pool you add soda ash (sodium carbonate). To lower the pH of your pool add muriatic acid (hydrochloric acid) or sodium bisulfate. You should always add chemicals with the pump running and check your levels again once the newly added chemicals have been circulated around the pool.
i believe it raises your PH levels
No, adding Muriatic acid will lower the pH value. If you want to raise pH numbers use baking soda and/or soda ash. Test it the next day, after it has a chance to mix evenly using an OTO tester and try to hit a pH of 7.2. Hatawa
First of all, make sure everyone is out of the pool. Then, use a net to get the stool out of the pool and dispose of it properly. Then, you will want to check the chlorine levels and raise it to 2.0 parts per million if it was anything below that. The pH levels should be between 7.2 and 7.5. The pH levels combined with the chlorine levels will make sure your pool is decontaminated within 30 minutes.
