    Hey 'Bear! Nice to see you out of "hibernation"!
    That was a great post on Salt water generator levels!

    My pool is still closed but I'm hoping to start opening Saturday. First I have to move the filter wiring as we have a new deck extension. Then I recruit my teen to do the heavy lifting! I would have done it sooner but family issues and a cruise got in the way....

    Denny, you can add borax in the skimmer slowly...
    it will dissolve and spread from there- just don't put it in so fast you clog anything!
    and like most balances, add it over time- I recommend no more than 1/4 dose a day, so spread out what you need for your pool over 4 days.
