i believe it raises your PH levels
Soda Ash
use something called soda ash you can find it at a pool or spa store
Run the pump for at least 2 hours after adding soda ash to ensure proper mixing and distribution throughout the pool water. This will help the soda ash dissolve and effectively raise the pH levels in the pool.
Mix the soda ash in a bucket of water first.
I have had this issue before it was really diffucult! I thought I could just use the swimming pool net (filter) to get it out but it just kept breaking. So eventually after trying I just drained it all and than refilled it. I mean you can try taking paper towels and laying them in you swimming pool net and than trying to get the ash. This way there is no holes that the ash can actually slip through and break. hope this helps!
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
Yes, soda ash or sodium bicarbonate will raise the alkalinity in water. Ash will affect your pH more than bicarb.
Yes, soda ash (sodium carbonate) can increase the alkalinity of pool water when added. It acts as a buffer to help maintain the pH level within the desired range and prevent rapid changes. However, it's important to carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions and test the water regularly to avoid over-alkalizing the pool.
I'm bird dogging the details as we speak, but search the term "make soda ash from baking soda".....I would come back, but I have a zillion things to do today.
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.
Soda ash raises both alkalinity and pH in fresh water; I would assume the same in salt.
Sodium carbonate is commonly known as soda ash or washing soda. It is used in pools as a pH stabilizer and alkalinity increaser to help maintain the water balance.
