My pool is running crystal clear after the algae debacle that lead me to this forum... Thanks so much for all of the assistance :)

My pH is very stable at 7.4, and my TA is at 50ppm. From what I can find on here, adding baking soda to increase the TA will also increase the pH, but is this pH increase the same as adding Borax?

Any suggestions on what should I add to raise the pH to 7.6 and TA to 80ppm?

Test results this morning:
FC - 4 ppm
CC - 0 ppm
PH - 7.4
TA - 50 ppm
CH - 30 ppm
CA - 45~50 ppm

Thanks in advance!

You are actually fine where you are with TA and pH. If your pH starts bouncing around, then you can use baking soda to raise it up some without affecting the pH.
