Great news!!!!

Thank you so much for all the help you have given me and others here on the forum. You are truly amazingly generous people to donate so much of your time and energy to us all. In my case: special, special thanks to Ben! Your patience is astounding. After reading SO MANY posts where people look for advice and then don't follow it, (even lie about following it), I know I would either give up or be a sarcastic SOB. Kudos, forum folk!!!

Yes, I know borates are not a solution to algae. I am looking for water comfort. My grumpy husband, after swimming 3 times this year, complains about his hair and skin after being in the pool. Happy husband = happy life???? Ha!!! I will use the "slow" plan for adding borates -just in case. BTW, our Menard's has 31.45% MA at $1.99/gal.
