Here’s a secret about pool chemistry: some brands of alkalinity increaser have just one active ingredient: sodium bicarbonate. Well, guess what? Sodium bicarbonate is baking soda.
Baking soda raises alkalinity in your pool. AND can be less expensive than buying Alkalinity Increaser at the pool store.
As a general rule of thumb, use 1.5 pounds of baking soda per 10,000 gallons of water. This should raise the alkalinity by about 10 parts per million (ppm).
