I got the overview of the water tests. They reccommended a alum treatment of 250 pounds to clear the water some and lock up some phosporus. I was told to spray it as a slurry and halfway through the process spray 12 pounds of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) to buffer the ph. I questioned him on this instead of hydrated lime. He said he used baking soda and new the formula for figuring out how much to use. What are the thoughts on using this instead of lime for the ph buffer?
Thanks
