I think you've wandered from the title of this thread, which may be why you're not getting a quick response.

I had a similar question in the thread linked below, which may help you get started on the borate question:

Of course, if you have already added borax or some other source of borates to your pool in the past, you should measure how much is already in the water before adding more.
