wait after add soda

[ste]

How long i have to wait after i added bakingsoda to rise Ph levels to test ph again?

I assume you are adding baking soda to raise TA?

Test the next day. It is not critical what level your TA is as long as it is above 50 ppm and your pH is in the 7's.

No i put a little too much muriat acid and the Ph level went down to 7...so i added some soda to rise it up at 7.2 and i just retested after 30 minuts and seems working ...Ph level is 7.2 now ...can i trust this test?

Sure. The pH will naturally rise unless your TA is very low.
