Soda Ash To Raise pH Made The Pool Cloudy

by Rick Pangle
(Brevard, NC)

I adde 20lbs soda ash mixed in water first and it clouded the 130,000 gallon pool.

How can I clear it up?

Thanks for the question Rick

I use 25 lbs. of sodium bicarb. to raise the pH of the YMCA pool (80,000 gallons) 10ppm. It always will cloud up when you make a slurry and mix it with water.

It should be o.k. if you keep the filter running 24/7.

Normally it will take about a day to clear it up, but you should be fine.

A couple turnovers of the water should do it.

Hope this helps and have a great Summer.
