On the bottle it should tell you how much per gallon of water, also it depends on how bad your pool is. If you're really unfamiliar, you better get the pro's, unless its a small seasonal pool, then I go with not enough chemical, go light because you don't want anyone to die in it.

Acid Hydrochloric Acid , is used to lower pH, it also lowers T.otal A.lkalinity so raise the T.A. so that when acid is added, to lower the pH to the correct level, the T.A. is also reduced to the correct range.
Note: Hydrochloric Acid must always be diluted (one part acid to ten parts of water) prior to adding to the pool. Always add acid to water, never water to a
If you are buying acid at a pool store or super market it will most likely be muriatic acid which is a diluted form of hydrochloric, about 33%. You can add this directly to the pool without diluting. Add it near a return line in the deepest part of the pool with the pump running.

It depends on the volume of your pool and what level your Ph is at.
my sack
Soda Ash
first you must test for ph with a ph testing kit, then if the water is a good ph level, add 2L chlorine for every 100L, then wait for 2 days, then get in the pool and it should be fine! ;) my number's: 0473897234
It lowers PH
a swimming pool it should be neutral pH ie green
add a PH reducer chemical
Everythging works better when the balance is correct, but you do not need to correct the pH before adding chlorine. Just keep an eye on it.

Using sodium bicarbonate to lower pH in a swimming pool is not effective. Sodium bicarbonate, or baking soda, is typically used to raise pH levels in pools. To lower pH in a pool, an acid such as muriatic acid or sodium bisulfate should be used.
The best way to find out what pool supplies you will need is to go to your local pool store and speak to a worker there. You should remember to ask when chemicals will be needed to keep your Ph in balance.
To raise the pH levels in your pool, you can add pH increaser or sodium carbonate. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper dosage based on your pool's size and current pH level. It's important to test your pool water regularly and adjust the pH as needed to maintain a balanced and safe swimming environment.
