    How big was your box of baking soda. I'm very surprised you went from 30 to 100 with only two boxes of baking soda in such a big pool. Mine usually takes 15 pounds on startup.

    They are 4lbs boxes. I was surprised also. I don't know if all the other chemical "magic" impacts the Alk level or not.

    Borax will raise your alk too, but to a lesser degree. Alk also tracks along with pH. So, as your pH rises, so does your alk. Good work though!
