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.

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.


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 much baking soda do you use to raise total alkalinity in a 20000 gallon pool?

To raise the total alkalinity in a 20,000 gallon pool, you can typically add 1.5 pounds of baking soda for every 10 parts per million (ppm) increase you desire. Calculate how many ppm you need to raise your alkalinity by, and then use this ratio to determine the amount of baking soda needed for your specific situation.


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.
