    Do you have a return eyeball that you can turn upward to create a lot of splashing on the surface?

    In your pool, I would add about a cup or two of Borax at a time, wait 2 or 3 hours, retest and then redose til you get pH where you want it.

    On the acid, I would probably do 1/2 to 1 pint doses. But, do NOT try to measure it. Just estimate it. Please read the "Using Muriatic Acid Safely" page in my signature above.

    Thank you for your help. I appreciate you taking the time to answer.

    18 foot above ground vinyl lined pool. The pool has an expandable liner that drops to 5 foot deep for about 9000 gallons of water.. It is surrounded with a raised deck about 1/3 of the way around the back of the pool.
