Pool store said my ph was 6.5. Pool calculator website says to add 6 boxes of Borax. I added 3 yesterday and tested 6.8 this am. I have added 2 more boxes and am waiting to test later this pm. Everyone says not to worry about the chlorine and cloudiness until the ph is 7.4 so I stopped adding bleach and waiting for stabilizer to increase. Should I leave my pool covered during this process? I have an automatic cover and have been keeping it closed but another thread on here said to open pool and try to aerate it. I have bought all Borax at our small town Walmart and I still need another box. I hope the pool stores ph test doesn't stop at 6.5 but when I used my test kit from walmart it looked closer to 6.8 at noon. I am waiting on my Taylor K-2006 kit to get here soon.
