Check if you have any stabilizer in your pool without stabilizes (cyanuric acid) the chlorine use is greatly increased.
To lower pH, you can add pH decreaser (such as sodium bisulfate) following manufacturer's instructions. To raise chlorine levels, you can add liquid chlorine or chlorine tablets according to the pool size and current chlorine levels. Retest after a few hours and adjust as needed.
we used liquid chlorine to raise ours so far it has worked
baking soda actually raises pH so do not use. check pH level and get that straight first.
It is possible for still water to contain chlorine if it has been treated with chlorine for disinfection purposes. However, if it is natural still water from a spring or well, it is unlikely to contain chlorine unless it has been contaminated with chlorine from other sources.
make sure chlorine is is at 1-3ppm, if pH is very low raise chlorine slightly higer than average. shock the pool after and run filter for over night. If pool still not stabilize then add PH high chemical.
Used tablets can be a good way to buy one for less, if the condition is still good.
If you raise them, are they still wild?
no
yes at the right dose
yes

Regardless of where you live, it is still expensive to raise a child.
