PH low after adding my cya- how to adjust?

Thanks Pat- So how much Borax do you add if you can't use the bleach calc to figure it out? 18000 gal to raise .4 to .6?

Hi, Linda,

Borax comes in the same size box country wide. So, a good start would be to add 1/2 of the box, wait around 24 hours and retest. Re-add based on your test results.

The Wal-mart kit ($15) is a good stop-gap kit...much better than the strips. The Taylor kit is a good kit but way too much money ($60 or more, I think) if you've ordered Ben's. His will be worth the wait.

CYA would not have lowered your pH that much. I suspect it's the inaccuracy of the strips.

The kitty liter scoop is a nice tip,,,,makes sense.
