Two Questions: Fiberglass pool repair and chlorine questions

[moosemudder]

sounds great bigdave. i have only added a 1 gallon jug of liquid choriline so far from doing the test. Leslies told me my stablizer was low so I added that at the beginning of the week. I am trying to add stuff slowly to learn how everything is effected.

Is borax better to use than the muratic acid? I have both but have only used the borax to dry out deer skin and clean laundry with.

I question why the kit came with only double of a couple items and after doing my first test at 25ml, I can see how you can go through some taylor products.

I will start with the two suggestions and repost my numbers later.

Thanks for all the help.

Borax and muriatic acid are not for the same thing. Borax is used to raise pH and muriatic acid is used to lower it.

Thanks. We received a lot of rain last month and i was using the acid to lower it. It seems to be an ongoing battle.

That is the opposite of what rain does to my pool. We typically have acid rain and my pH drops some when it rains.
