Hi PoolDoc-Thank you for your quick reply. I'm aware that I must still keep my chlorine and pH at the proper levels. I'm looking mainly for the effects and benefits touted by waterbear in this thread: The-Great-Tetraborate-Experiment!

I did manage to also find the full directions here: Need-instructions-on-raising-borates after I posted this question (of course).

Is there a downside to using borax?
