Baking Soda

Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, is a common household item that can serve as an economical way to raise Total Alkalinity (TA) in pools without significantly affecting pH.

Baking soda increases TA, acting as a buffer to prevent drastic pH changes.
While baking soda also raises pH, its effect on pH is much less than its impact on TA.
Overuse of baking soda can lead to high TA, causing pH to rise and potentially leading to scaling and cloudy water.
Regular testing and careful dosing of baking soda are important to prevent TA and pH imbalances.
To increase TA with baking soda, add 1.5 lbs per 10,000 gallons of pool water for every 10 ppm of TA increase needed.
