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.

Can baking soda lower the pH level in my pool?

Baking soda is not the best choice as it more readily increases Total Alkalinity. Soda ash on the other hand will do an excellent job. (available at most hardware stores as an acid neutralizer)

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.

How do you raise the alkline level of your pool water?

You can raise the alkaline level if your pool water by adding sodium bicarbonate (aka baking soda). It is recommended that you raise the alkaline in small increments because it is easier to raise your total alkaline levels slightly if its a little too high or too low.
