Tested again this evening after adding Borax this afternoon:

FC = 10.5 (getting lower)
CC = .5 (same)
PH = 7.4 (thanks WM)
TA = 170 (a little higher than last night)
CH = 170 (same)

Dave: All is good. Just wanted to explain my desire to throw info at the wall, and see what sticks and what doesn't. I feel confident that this is the right board to separate fact from fiction, so please... keep it coming, and thank you.

Thanks for offering the suggestion of Borax, WM. I believe that is what pushed our pH back to good, and much more economical than buying pH plus products!

I ordered 25lbs of conditioner today (cyanuric); It should be here tomorrow. Anxious to see if I can get this balancing act figured out before it's time to close the pool.

Thanks for your patience with me. You're probably wishing I never found poolforum.com! Haha!
