I've been reading these forums for awhile and have a question about the borax. It says add so much to get your PH up, then so much acid to bring it back down...all leading to the borates at 50 ppm. If I add just a little bit of borax all the time to keep my PH at normal, will I still have to add acid? Does the borax/borates go away like chlorine or will it stay in the water?
I've been putting borax in my pool all summer to bring PH up, but never got so high I needed to use acid. I don't have a borate test kit yet so don't know what the level is.
I really want the "sparkly" water everyone talks about using the BBB method, just wondering if I could "slowly" get there with borax and not need the acid.

Thanks for any input!
