Definitely, do NOT worry about adding baking soda, for now.
- Only add borax for now, if you need to raise your pH.
- Turn off your SWCG for now.
- Keep your pH on the low end of things.
- Add chlorine (bleach) late in the day; I'd recommend 5 gallon doses (2 more than WaterMom said)
- Brush the pool AFTER adding chlorine.
- Test the pool early the next AM for pH and chlorine; let us know what you find.
- If you have a 2 speed pump, run on low speed 24/7
- Ignore recommendations from the PoolCalculator -- it's very good for some things, but not this.
- Complete the pool chart form, so we have your pool info in one spot -- it takes about 30 seconds, but will save much more than that.
