1. Add a box of borax ( borax @ Walmart )

2. Read the Super Simple recipe. It has LOTS of info relevant to your situation.

Thanks.

I added a 76-ounce box of borax, and pH is now somewhere well above 8.2. (I did an acid-demand test, and had to add 6 drops before it got down to 7.5) Is the pool safe to swim in, and is there any way to lower it without resorting to muriatic acid? Could I just take out say 10 bucketfulls and replace the water?
