I have read your article on high pH pool chemistry and would like to try it. I am currently increasing my pool pH using Borax and will then need to raise the Total Alkalinity (which is currently at 50ppm). Calcium hardness is at 100ppm. pH is closing in on 7.8. I understand that after the pH is adjusted, I can then target the TA. I intend to use Baking Soda for this (is that OK)?
Also, I am interest in the special super chlorination method you mentioned in the article. My pool is a salt water pool and doesn't seem to need regular super chlorination (combined chlorine reading remains near 0). I don't think I did it more than a few time last season. Should I super chlorinate with the chlorine generator, or is calcium hypochlorite better? Is weekly a must?
