One of the potential drawbacks of using baking soda instead of a specially-packaged alkalinity increaser is that baking soda doesn't come with pool use instructions. But don't let that stop you from using it. To calculate how much baking soda you should add, first determine the amount of gallons of water in your pool.

15/10/2015 ÿú Sixteen ounces of sodium bicarbonate will raise the Total alkalinity of 10,000 gallons of water by 7.14 ppm. That same dose will also raise the pH by an amount that cannot be measured by standard industry test kits.
Soda ash has a massive pH level compared to baking soda it ranges between 11.3 and 11.7. Nevertheless, its ability to raise pH levels compared to total alkalinity is starkly different. For example, for every 10,000 gallons of water, you can expect soda ash to increase your pool water?s pH by 0.2.

How To Raise Your Pool's Alkalinity with Baking Soda, How To Raise Your Pool's Alkalinity with Baking Soda, 09/08/2020 ÿú Baking Soda Vs. Soda Ash. Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate) isused to raise alkalinity and also slightly raises pH. And Soda Ash (Sodium Carbonate) is used to raise pH and slightly raises alkalinity. For example, getting a pH reading around 7.2 to 7.6 in 10,000 gallons (37,854 liters) of pool water would take roughly 21 pounds of baking soda.
12/08/2019 ÿú It is just a matter of sprinkling an ounce of baking soda into the water of a 250/300 gallon hot tub and let it dissolve naturally ? twenty minutes should be plenty, then switch on your pump for an hour before checking the pH level again. If it is still acidic, simply repeat until it gives the right pH reading!, 02/02/2005 ÿú Sodium Bicarbonate is baking soda which will raise the PH and the TA (total alkalinity). Sodium Carbonate is soda ash and will raise only the PH.
18/02/2019 ÿú According to The Pool Calculator the 50lb baking soda and 4lb soda ash have raised your total alkalinity (TA) by about 135. I'm not a chemistry guru so I don't know if that by itself could cause the clouding. However, you did have a big algae outbreak and that is quite possibly the source of the clouding (dead algae floating around).;"
