    I did use borax at spring opening when pH was a little low.

    I like seeing the bubbles as it lets me know the cell is still working.
    Me too. I like to tell my little kids that the pool is farting, makes them laugh like crazy. I also do the TA and FC tests in front of them and when the TA test goes from green to red, I tell them that someone pee'd in the pool. They all go wide-eyed and start blaming each other. It's totally hilarious!
