drop the pH to 7 nand aerate. Also, the test strips are hard to read above 30 ppm. Try doing a dilution 1 part pool water and 1 part distilled and testings and see what you get when you multiply the results by 2 then try 1 part pool water to 2 parts of distilled and multiply by three. If the dilutions confirm that your borates are high I wouldn't worry too much about it.
