I'm back.....

Can you refresh my memory on where to find out how much borax and stuff I need to add to change my chemicals. I have the bleach calc, but I don't know how much borax to put in to change ph. Any advice or tips are apprecitated. Right now we are getting a thunder storm and I can't go out. I also am waiting for my dh to hook up the solar panels so I can get everything going. Can I add chemicals before I start the filter?? Thanks so much. I love how people are so helpful here. ~ E

The upper left corner of the bleach calc has more calcs. However, there isn't one to tell how much Borax to add. How many gallons is your pool? If you are going to be starting the pump/filter in the next day, I'd just wait to add chemicals. Otherwise, you can add things slowly and then take a clean broom and stir the water around to mix them. (I wouldn't wait to long to hook up the pump/filter. The solar panels can always be added later.)
