    + Read the Best Guess Chlorine page, linked in my signature
    + Hold your chlorine level in the DARK yellow range, till you have the K2006.
    + Unless your pool is concrete, do not add any more baking soda or calcium hardness.
    + Use borax (Walmart detergent section) to raise pH to 7.2 or so.

    How much borax should I use? pH is 6.5 for a 35k gallon pool. Vinyl liner. I also have white foam in the skimmer & a lot of cloudy floaters. Should I scoop out the foam? I am also running my cleaning robot thanks for replying Pooldoc

    Hey Ben I posted this somewhere else bc I couldn't find my way back but here goes
    I think I am having the same problem. I am new to the forum ( well posting anyways) I have a 35k+ gallon L shape boy cya is 65-70 and I can't keep the CL up I have used 45 gallons of cheap bleach in 3 days. Readings are CL drops from 5 to 0 overnight. Ph is going between 6.5 & 7.2 I have used 6 boxes borax in the last week also. I have 3" chlorinating tabs running constantly thru a chlorinator. Alk is 50. Using 6 way hth kit & strips. Strips say stabilizer is low but hth says high? Very confused. I am having surgery Wednesday & need to get this in order any help is appreciated.

    Hth 6 way
    CL 0 just added 5 gallons bleach tested its bright yellow after 1 hour
    Ph 7.2
    Alk 70
    Cya maybe 65 Can't test anymore I ran out of drops. ( the bottles is not proportionate)

    Thanks so much for having this forum I am going crazy & everybody is driving me crazy asking when it's going to be ready
