Technically there is no difference any alkaline will raise the PH and neutralize acidity……It’s just a question of which is more economical…I would use the baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) its, cheap, clean and goes into solution very quickly .
I’ve never used soda ash (Sodium carbonate) but in my mind I picture particles of ash that might cloud the pool. If you have a cheap source of soda ash try it. (maybe in a bucket at first). I just looked up soda ash and it is sold by pool supply companies so I guess it alright.
For that matter you could use lye…probably not recommended The US government is dumping tons of sodium bicarbonate into lakes to help bring the PH level back to neutral to combat the acidity caused by acid rain,
You do realize the bleach and chlorine that are used in pools is also alkaline!
How did you get your pool so acid is it sitting under an oak tree?
Good Luck

Soda Ash is used to raise the Ph of your pool water/Sodium Bicarb. is used to raise the Total Alkalinity of your pool water. The ideal range for a pool’s ph would be between 7.2-7.6ppml; and the ideal alkalinity range should fall between 80-120ppm.
If these readings are a little off, you should always First: Adjust the Alkalinity to the ideal range, then adjust the Ph to the desired range.
Although the two have different chemicals used to raise them up, they can both be reduced by adding Muratic Acid to your pool.

Typically if the pH is low the Total Alkalinity is also. Always adjust alkalinity first. Bicarb raises Total Alkalinity a lot, and pH a little. Soda ash is used to tweak the pH after alkalinity is raised. It raises pH a lot and Total alkalinity a little. Two different chemicals for two different purposes.
