Are you having problems with scale, cloudiness, or precipitation?
Adding soda ash will always cause calcium carbonate scale/cloudiness/precipitation because you are creating small volumes of supersaturated calcium carbonate where the soda ash (sodium carbonate) goes into the water.
I would never use soda ash.
Adding calcium and other products like baking soda at the same time or within hours can also cause problems.
