Can you use baking soda to raise pH levels in hot tub?
You can use baking soda to raise the pH level in a hot tub, however soda ash will work better. Borax even better than that. The issue with baking soda is that it more readily raises Total Alkalinity so will have a larger effect on TA rather than pH.

the pH level of baking soda is 8.5
Can bleach baking soda and borax all be added at the same time to a 30000 pool?
Yes, but it's not generally a good idea. Both will tend to raise your pH. If your pH is too low, add the borax first, to get it to at least 7.0. Then you can add baking soda, if you need to increase your alkalinity. BUT, you should check your alkalinity after you raise your pH -- it will be higher, and you may not need the baking soda.
