Heyred ---- You are taking way too long to raise your pH! You've been reporting pH at 6.8 (which as several people have noted for you) means it could be much lower. Low pH can damage your pool. This should not take a week to bring up. Please start adding doses of Borax more often. Add, wait an hour or two, retest, redose, repeat. Janet has said it, Dave has said it, I've said it. I'm not sure you understand that this is critical.
