4 doses of chlorine or 4 doses of CYA? What was the product name and ingredients of what you added?
You only add the 1 to 1 doses of Borax if you are using dichlor because it is acidic and will drive the pH down. The Borax is to counteract this drop in pH.
I'm not sure that you understand the recipe. There are directions there for using bleach for a few days until you can buy the needed Dichlor. At that point, you stop using bleach and use dichlor until your CYA (stabilizer) is around 50ppm. Then, stop the dichor and switch back to bleach.
