calculation for borax

[Sherra]

I have the bleach calculator. Where do I find how to use it for Borax?

The BleachCalc does not do calculations for Borax to raise pH.

alrighty then.

I guess I need the chemical calulator that I saw mentioned in other posts. (been digging around some more).
None of the links I find are working. Not sure what the problem is...

Don't know what is going on with the calc links, but if you will post your pool's volume and what chemical you need to adjust, someone who has the calc downloaded can help you figure out a dose.

I goofed up with the way I entered the links in my sig. It worked the first time, but when I changed it, everything got goof up. It's fixed now.

How much borax do I add to bring the pH up a little (.2 or.3)
Thanks,

FYI here are my numbers
FC zero
CC zero

(I really shocked it 15+ before we left for a week It was still covered with pump running and it bottomed out before we got back)

Alk 110
pH 7.2
Cya 30
CA 150

I have a 17 x 33 above ground ( I think it is 18,000 gallons?)

Thanks,

Nevermind.

Just caught up on the thread. I will be happy with my 7.2 pH I guess.


Thanks,
Beth


FYI I was shocking with liquid bleach. Our water (well) is very acidic here so when I top off the pool it is what it is...
