How Do You Use Baking Soda To Clean The Pool?
Yes, another fabulous use for Baking Soda! It helps provide the necessary alkalinity to your pool water by maintaining the pH. Your pool water will be sparkling clear and baking soda does not make your eyes burn. In summary, baking soda and a disinfecting agent helps keep your pool water perfectly balanced. The proper alkalinity range is between 80 and 100 ppm. The proper pH range is between 7.2 and 7.5. These should be monitored individually and baking soda should be adjusted and added accordingly. Locate a retailer that sells baking soda in bulk quantities. Many of the big bulk discount stores carry 5 pound bags for about $5.00 or $6.00. Measure the amount of baking soda to be added to the pool according to your pool’s volume, as mentioned above. Each week, measure the alkalinity and pH of your pool add baking soda as needed. If pH is low but alkalinity is in the proper range, don’t add baking soda. Soda ash (sodium carbonate) works better for that.
