The Secret to Getting Crystal Clear Pool Water

Step 2: Add Baking Soda

If your alkalinity is low or not registering at all, it’s time to add baking soda (yes, the kind from your kitchen!).

• Slowly sprinkle 1/3 of a bag of baking soda around the pool’s edge, just like you would with granular shock.

• Keep your jets running and let it circulate for about an hour.

• Test again before adding more if needed.

You can also follow the dosage instructions on the baking soda packaging for more accuracy.

By following these simple steps, you’ll get your pool water sparkling clear—without the high cost. Try it out and enjoy a beautifully clear pool all season long!
