    Default Re: New pool new problems

    Every night this week i have put in 5 pounds of calc hypo 78% and 2 gallons of bleach 8% and have 0 chlorine in the morning. This morning at 8 am i put in 2 more gallons of bleach waited 30 minutes and tested and had fc of 1.5. at 10:30 am chlorine is 0 again. I have put in box after box of borax this week and ph will not rise above 7.2 and is usually back down to 7.0 every morning. The water is mostly clear just a little cloudy. Do i keep doing this until something changes or do i need to do something different?
