Bromine Chemistry Question

[JimK]

The borates definitely lower the rate of pH rise because they are a pH buffer. The borates will also help reduce or eliminate scaling in SWCG cells, but that's explained by their pH buffering. They don't change the amount of acid you would need to add over time. The lower TA is what fixes that so the combination basically stabilizes your pH.

Thanks for the explanation.

Its been nice not having to mess with adding MA. Of course it was following advice on this forum that lead to finding my pool's sweet spot.
