Question about the Borax sticky note.

[Redwolf]

I purchased the 31.25% MA at Home Depot just hours ago. I had to ask, and they sent me to the back of the outdoor center near the pool supplies. It is called SMART (brand) and come in 2 gallons for $12.95. I was real tickled because the new products are so low a whole gallon bought yesterday (thinking it was the real stuff) only brought my ph down from 8.0 to 7.6 or there about.

Waterbear, how long before I can swim after adding the MA and Borax? My TA is 100, and I use trichlor when I leave for 10 days ( which will be in 2 days), and bleach while I am here. BTW the CACL2 cleared up my pool. I can see all the irregularities in the floor tonight. What I thought was dead algae or sand must have been leeching from my plaster. It is gorgeous. Hope it lasts!

I would wait about 24 to 48 hours with the pump running to allow the pH to stabilie, readjust the pH if needed, and then enjoy the water.

Thanks again. It is looking great this am.
