Best Answer

You don't really add soda ash for cloudy water; in fact depending on the situation it can cause cloudy water. Soda ash increases pH. You have to use large quantities of liquid chlorine 12.5% and 24/7 filtration. Normal run time for filter would be in the neighborhood of 12 hrs depending on size of pool.

If you are buying chemicals from a reputable pool store (Not the Wally world) then your dosage rates WILL be listed on the back. It will say something like if your desired increase in pH is this much, then you add x number of pounds of the product per 10,000 gallons. Pool doesn't have anywhere near 10,000 gallons you say, get out the old calculator and convert your dosage down into cups or ounces, 2 cups of soda ash per pound. 16 oz. per lb.

Should you use baking soda or soda ash to raise the ph level of your pool?

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. k


How much soda ash to us to raise pool pH?

The answer is largely dependent on the total alkalinity (T/A). High T/A requires more soda ash to raise pH a given amount as opposed to a low pH.

Does soda ash increase alkilinityin pools?

Yes, soda ash or sodium bicarbonate will raise the alkalinity in water. Ash will affect your pH more than bicarb.


Can you use baking soda in pool instead of PH plus?

yes, it has nothing to do with cleaning your pool though . soda ash raises the level of PH in you pool, baking soda does the same but it actually raises the TA (total alikinity), thereby stabalizing the PH and using less soda ash, you can buy soda ash alot cheaper at a farmers coop instead of the pool store. It has alot to do with cleaning the pool. If your pool has a concrete bottom and you just used muratic acid to wash it for painting then yes you have to use either soda ash or baking soda to neutralize the acid before painting.

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.
