Presumably, for a 60 ppm borate level to inhibit (NOT: kill or prevent) algae?

10K pool:

+ 29 lbs of boric acid => (Amazon 20# (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00K2DR4VS/scouscho-20/) ~$50) (Amazon 10# (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00K2DR0HQ/scouscho-20/) ~$26) (Proteam Supreme Plus 20# (http://www.poolgeek.com/products/proteam-supreme-plus-20-lb?gclid=CMOSoeuGk78CFa9r7AodyUIAsA) ~$100)

+ 45# borax (10 72oz boxes) + 3 gal of muriatic acid [borax + HCl (muriatic acid) = boric acid]
