Baking Soda
Start with about one ounce
If you get it from the fridge, consider it like aromatherapy

ph will generally rise in a healthy spa - more often than not low ph is an indication that your total alkalinity is low - if your T A is in the 125 to 150 ppm range you'll find that you ph readings will be more stable

Air injection works pretty good at raising pH (potential Hydrogen)

Run the pumps on high for a cycle or two with full air injection.

Careful with the baking soda. It will raise the TA much more than the pH.
