Save some $ on Pool Chemicals
There’s no denying that pool chemicals can be expensive to purchase! Did you know that you can use a common household product to save you some extra dough?
Most pool stores suggest using sodium bicarbonate to control the alkalinity of a pool without drastically reducing the PH levels. They will try to sell overpriced solutions in order to get the job done.
As it turns out, regular baking soda does the same job as sodium bicarbonate for only a fraction of the price!
If you’re worried that using baking soda will mean doing a lot of complicated mathematical conversions, don’t be. Baking soda has the same concentration of sodium bicarbonate per pound as the solutions, so the amount you’d need to add to your water would be identical!
