Newbie needs help -just opened pool

[kazimir]

Thanks everyone for the last reply.

I put in 1 box of Borax this morning (that's all I had).

This afternoon I measured the Ph it went up to 6.8. (i will put in 1 more box)

I took all the measurment again except I could NOT measure hardness. Could it be Zero? ALk was 30 now, and CYA was 40


P.S. The water got VERY CLEAR today.

If your calcium hardness reading was 70 last night, I doubt that is zero today. Keep working to get the ph up. Glad the water is looking clearer.
