Thanks Bear,

I added 4#'s of Borax ( I sprinkled it in the deep end & on top of the return jets) Should I have mixed it with water in a buckett first?

Here are my new #'s

FC-9
CC- 0
TC-5
PH-7.0 seemed to jump roughly .2 from 6.8 previous reading
Alk- 70-80 Did not seem to move yet color was a deeper green to Red when I tested it?

I'm thinking another 4#'s would bring it up to 7.2 then retest the Alk again before I add Baking Soda.


1) Do I dilute the Borax prior to adding?
2) Is another 4#'s of Borax in order?


Thanks Again
