Can you use baking soda to soften pool water?
Baking Soda is typically used to lower the alkalinity of a pool, not to eliminate wrinkles. The easiest way to reduce the wrinkles in a pool that still has water in it is to use a plunger. Press the plunger down about 6 inches from the wrinkle and try to pull the liner up and away from the wrinkle. Then repeat the process. The wrinkle should move and each time get a little less. NC < Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, and is used to INCREASE alkalinity.
Will baking soda soften your pool water?
In a word, no. It will raise total alkalinity and that is what it is used for. In fact, the total alkalinity increaser you buy at the pool store is just expensive baking soda!

How do I neutralize acid around apron of swimming pool since I think the concrete is crumbling due to chemicals from pool Will a combination of baking soda and water work If so how much of each?
Without any idea of how acidic your pool is, it's impossible to calculate how much baking soda would be required to neutralize it. However, if its already eating your concrete, think of what the water is doing to you. It might not be possible to salvage the concrete. Concrete is porous and if the acidic solution has soaked in, you can apply baking soda and water all you like to the surface without it being able to reach the area where the damage is actually occurring.

How much baking soda do you use per 1000 gal of pool water?
I have a 2000 gals in-ground spa and I find that I have to put some baking soda in the water to adjust the alkalinity level to 80-120, according to the test kit. When my spa's water alkalinity starts dropping down to 70-80, then I spkrinkle in about 4 oz. of baking soda. That always takes my alkalinity reading up to about 100, which is perfect for my size spa. Since you have 1000 gals, I would go ahead an sprinkle in 2-3 oz. of baking soda. Circulate the pool water for about 30 minutes and recheck your alkalinity. Should be fine at that point.
