New Guy, New Pool, Already been Pool-Stored... Always happy to learn

Did you order a Taylor K2006?

Also, most of us use 20 Mule Team Borax (laundry aisle at Walmart) to raise pH instead of soda ash since it will raise pH without affecting TA.

Thanks Watermom for the insight... I was over looking at the BBB method from TroubleFreePool.com Looks like they recommend the same. I will be getting the HTH 6 way tester, as I need to go to Walmart anyway for the Borax, Bleach and, Baking Soda.
