Thank you !! My pool is so clear now !
Thank you for your honesty
I Love Baking Soda!!! Now I love it even more... since I can use it in my pool!!! Thank you so much for this information!
Thanks for the tip, was wondering why my pool shock wasnt doing its job
Great video. We've had our 15 x 30 above ground pool for 28 years. Our NW season is June -thru- mid September. We keep it heated at 86F. Use a RayPak 155,00 BTU htr and my special designed solar heating system. Replaced liner twice . .1 1/2HP Hayward pump once. Use sand filter. Best thing we ever invested in.
Your the only one who explained this so well. I saw the pool guy use the same bag of Baking soda as you and I bought it too. I only had to use one bag per swim season. And never needed the pool guy but this season, it has been a headache with algea, cloudy water and this expensive pool shock never seemed to do the job! Thank you!!
Good advice !!!! We use test strips, and alkalinity and ph are key !!!
Thank you for this advice. My pool was green opening it. Did what you s😮at and it is now crystal clear. Thank you for sharing!!
Glad it helped!
Works every time!!! Thank you😊
Been doing this for years. It works.
I work for arm and hammer and I approve this message
I work for hammer arms and approve this comment.
😂 good one
Except the aluminum in the product is not good!
Exactly what I use and do. BAKING SODA IS THE GIFT...ONLY THING I USE with chlorine tabs and granular shock. No other chemicals needed. 😊
Watch your ph as well
Calcium hardness is important for keeping the pool surface in good shape, stabilizer is helpful to keep chlorine in pool longer…
No, not correct. You also need algaecide and stabilizer, and other chemicals depending on if you have a concrete pool.
Well you don’t know much about pools
@@billhenry7833you don’t know what your talking about
👍👍👍Thank you because they always looking for you spending a fortune to have the pool ready
Wow, this is some great advice. Thank you so much for sharing. Had a pool years ago and was thinking of getting another one so this is really great information.

Glad it helped!
Tack för tipset. Detta var ju intressant. Mvh gh i omsala❤
Thanks for the interesting video.
Great advice
Thanks for sharing. Good informations
Thank you! I subscribed!
Thanks for the tip!! We bought a house that already had a inground pool!! So much to learn!! Pool stores some of them- only want to sell me more chemicals:( New sub here too)
You're right, they don't have to come fix what you thought was supposed to be the dosage because they sold you stuff you had no idea what it's purpose was. I'm a pool pro and balanced is your key word and keeping it that way.
Awesome thank you so much
Nice! Thank you!
I was having major issues with algae this year..lots of wash-off from the pavers, etc....lots of torrential rainfalls....I would chlorinate and shock my pool because it would turn green fast. It felt like so much more work this year than most years. I didn't know it could be the alkalinity. Thanks so much. I was doing it out of sequence. Much better.
so glad I could help!!
It's been a big issue this year. A lot of my pools got hit with mustard algae even though their levels are in optimum range.
Well this guy can come and clean my pool any day 😂😂😊
I fuqqin ❤ it!! Y’all have given me some Gr8 ideas!!!
You are the only guy with the right advice on that. I stumbled into that solution on my own, but now I know why it works! This is excellent advice. Thanks!
Here is another tip for everyone's benefit. If you keep adding cyanuric acid, and it always reads low, you are low on Calcium Chloride. Raise Calcium Chloride and you may discover that you have plenty or even too much cyanuric acid.
great advice....!
Heck yeah bro. I have a 44000 gallon in ground vinyl that I've converted to salt. I totally forgot about AK this year for some reason.
Thanks for the reminder!
Thank you so much 💓
Thanks man
Thanks for sharing.
Great tip for home owners thanks 👍🙂🍺🍺🍺🍺
Thank You Sir
Thanks ! I believe I’ve been doing it all wrong as in shocking my pool and cleaning it before checking levels
technically shock will not work unless your alkalinity and PH are in range
Umm what is shocking the pool mean
@@pammiestewart1419means putting in lots of chlorine to shock the water after heavy use like a pool party.
Thanks for reminding me about the Baking Soda - I used this in the past and I still have one of those unopened ~ 12-lb bag. The heat has really made it harder to keeping the swimming pool tip-top-shape!
You are so welcome!
once you have alkalinity correct, it remains the same unless you get alot of rain.....
@@dogsarefun2 Thanks, we were on the threshold of a drought declaration, but lately we have a lot of rain that I cannot keep the swimming pool clear. Besides the rain the heat and humidity envelopes you as soon as you step outside.
Well, I looked at swimming pool and the water was yellowish/greenish - most likely the dead algae. We have had a lot of rain and when it isn't raining it is HOT and HUMID! I might have to try vacuum the swimming pool again, but that is a real challenge because I do not have skimmer vacuum plate - I just shoved the hose down the pipe. I did my first vacuum in nearly 5 years a couple of weeks ago. I removed the equipment that has been stowed in the cedar chest for a couple of years. The suction head may be salvageable if I can get replacement wheels and bearings, but that will be a pain. The swimming pool vacuum hoses are mostly intact, the swimming pool vacuum cannister - Wesson - appeared intact and without any cracks in the plastic housing. I used a suction head that is basically a triangular brush with maybe 30-feet of good vacuum hose line. I had a successful first vacuum with old equipment that I pieced together. Early this evening I did my usual swimming pool cleaning method:
Step 0; Rinse the pool deck free of debris
Step 1; Checked and emptied the skimmer basket free of debris and leaves
Step 2; Brushed the floor and walls of the swimming pool
Step 3; Checked the Chlorinating Tablet Floater it has tablets
Step 4; Performed a full cycle cleaning of the swimming pool plumbing system; backwash, rinse and return to filtration
Step 5; Added water to the swimming pool to account for the backwash and evaporation
Usually I am just adding shock and liquid chlorine at different times on different days. In the past when the pool has gotten to this condition it usually tested to add approximately 20lbs to 35lbs of calcium
Step 6; Added eight ounces-(8-oz) of Arm & Hammer Baking Soda to balance the swimming pool ie., clear up the water by lowering the alkalinity or raising the ph - I am eyeballing it because I have not tested the swimming pool in months!
@@PappyNet01 get test strips, get alkalinity correct.... not knowing size of your pool... I use a floater chorine dispenser and keep it full with the hockey puck size tablets.... Clorox Pool & Spa Green Algae Eliminator2 to keep it clear free of algae... the copper in this product kills any algae and will prevent it from starting.
excellent video
Thank you so much for your help!
Excellent tip! My problem is the Alkalinity and pH, hardness are HIGH in my inground pool. The pool is very clear and blue for what it's worth. Any advice is welcomed. Thanks!
Thank you♥️✌🏼
Must be talking about Leslie’s pool supply. If you were to bring a perfectly good water sample to them, they’d tell you that you need every chemical to bring your water up to par. It’s what they do.
@josephlamadrid1799 My local pool supply & service did the same thing to me when I was new to pool ownership.
I left there with a pool pharmacy of stuff and instructions for what, when and how much, but never these 2 at the same time, yadda yadda. Come back in a week with a lab sample. Lol.
Which I did, and left another hundred bucks lighter with some new prescriptons and some dosage changes to the old ones.
A co-worker who was an experienced pool owner told me this:
After about 3 years, pool water gets tired and can't suspend everything very well. When it gets to where u can't correct one thing without messing up another: Drain and Refill your pool.
Fresh new water, just like when it was new. A couple hundred $ on your water bill but so what? You're good for at least another 3 years. . .
OR, if you'd like, you can spend the same $200 and more on chemicals running back n forth to the pool place, AND spend all your time dicking with your pool instead of enjoying it. 👏👍
I agree 100 percent , Leslie and just about any other pool place always looking to pull our wallet out
Thanks great info
If I only need to raise chlorine and pH level. Can I use a baking soda for the pH to kick it up?
Thank you
very true!! good video bro
Glad you liked it
great video 100%
Great advice! What if you already have signs of algae on the bottom of the pool and yellow/green water? Do I clean the filter then start your recommendation?
Yes, you need to get some algicide in the water and vacuum the bottom. My tips are for keeping clearing up cloudy or green water and keeping it that way. Good luck!
Pool guy here and I love that you talk about pool stores selling things people don't necessarily need!! They are in business to sell products. I tell all my customers to never step foot in a store unless they tell me first! haha Baking soda and Borax are my go to!!
Thankyou
Baking soda worked great! Thanks for your videos.
You're welcome!
Do you need this if you have a salt water pump?
Nice advice I'm watching all the from PNG
Thanks pimp 🔥
Right on, thank you.
Well done but don't add granular shock around your pool like baking soda, you'll slowly be bleaching the crease or your liner down below. Mix it in water first if you can't put a pound at a time in a skimmer.
Or brush the pool after as you are supposed to after adding granular shock.
I like this no bullshit video. Taking the advice....!!!
Does this work for above ground pool.
Any chance you doing a review on the John Kavli mower blades ?
nothing yet, I'd be happy to if someone wants to send me a set
Costco has these huge bags on the baking aisle year round fyi!
Does this work for salt water pools too?
Do you have weeds in your pool does it work with the bag you show in the pool.
Great video thank you
Great video; Should you add this at night...and should you wait to swim after adding baking soda
?
baking soda can be done during the day. you need to add it gradually and then let it circulate. easier to do during the day. shocking is the only thing that should be done at night because the UV breaks it down quickly
baking soda will not harm you, couple pounds in 12k gallon pool disperses quickly
BEST!
Thanks, I will try it! Also quick ?… my pool is still cloudy after 3 bags pool shock. Is Walmarts GV brand pool chlorine good! It’s less than $6 a gallon. I’m a senior in Central Ca trying to take care of my own Pool. 😊 Thx
There are many brands of chlorine out there, some of them of junk and full of fillers. I once bought a Chlorox brand from BJs.....worst stuff ever. My pool was never clear.
Pro tip: put it in your net and drag it around. None will sit on pool floor 👍
Put it in your Net? Where is that?
@@amypletcher4411you dont have a hand helf pool net to clean your pool?
@amypletcher4411 😂 he meant put the baking soda in the pool net 😂😂😂😂to distribute it so it doesn't lay on the pool floor
why not just brush it? or just add it slowly in front of ur return.
The pool store looked at me funny when I said I was using the big bag baking soda. He quickly started talking about my phosphate levels. Although I was using phos free plus once a week. 🤷🏼♀️
they always want to upsell you on expensive products!!
Good job of telling him , I have funny feeling he did try & Store pool too see if it works also try Mr.Clean white sponge in your water intake big skimmer takes all your algae alway helps your pool
Really news from me about Baking soda. Thanks bro. What are the best levels of PH and Alkaline for getting sparkling pool water
the proper levels are usually on the back of a test kit, and its a range not an exact science.
Are you doing this as a weekly/ daily / monthly maintenance? How much do you put in at a time ? looks like the measuring cup might be around 2 cups.
only as needed when alkalinity drops. how much depends on how low you are and how big your pool is. The bag has instructions. I used the whole bag on 16,000 gallons, 1/3 at a time. measuring cup just made it easy to scoop and apply.
Thank you!
Been using this also as needed but grew up with a pool so unless I go vaca I have no.problem
Pool store guy here checking in.
You think a small filter pump for a 15 foot circle Intex pool can handle a small pool fountain?
😂
Do NOT watch this video
Hey, good go to know this 👍can i use baking soda also in lazy spa inflatable jacuzzi? Thank you
yes you can, just smaller amounts based on how many gallons.
@@nextleveldiy thank you so much
What all do I need
Baking soda just got added to my shopping list. Great tip. Thx
So, can i use a box of baking soda?
Thank you so much! The water is clear but the bottom vynil has a greenish kind of layer that won't come out. Any advice? Thanks!
sounds like some algae staining. I'm pretty sure your will need a liner cleaning or something really strong to remove that. Did you try scrubbing it with a blue scotch brite pad?
Yes sir I did use it, will follow your advice and update you...thanks a lot!!!
if it feels crusty and hard, you may have a layer of scale protecting it from chlorine. I had that problem and so lowered my pH to 6.5 for a week. Cleared it up and all is now good. This happened to me after pretty much leaving my pool over winter. When bathing season started again, the liner felt rough like sandpaper, especially the floor at the deep end. That could be the problem. Don't see that comination of problems mentioned together much on YT or in publications
