Reply With QuoteWhy do you want to add the Baking Soda? To raise TA? 70 is a little low by most standards but if the pH is stable, I'd leave it alone.
ph and alk balance
My ph is 7.6 and my alk is 70. If I add baking soda, won't it raise my ph? I was going to add 6 lbs to my 22,000 gal pool. Is this what I should be doing?
Thx!

K I won't add anything. Just thought the alk should be a min of 80
Thank you for your feedback!

Re: ph and alk balance
As long as your pH is pretty stable, an alk of 70 is close enough.

If ch and ph are good wont the rest fall in line?
Re: ph and alk balance
Not necessarily. But you do need to start with those two, BEFORE you try to fix other things.Originally Posted by dansdad
