I just put another jug 6% ultra through skimmer....Do I need the borx to raise the PH?:

Keep your chlorine level at 12 - 15 'til your water is sparkling clear.......don't dabble at it like you've been doing...you've got to test and dose accurately to get your water clear.

Since you don't have a decent test kit, you can (inaccurately) get fairly close by adding 2/3 distilled water to your pool water to test for Cl. The test result is then multiplied by three to get a rough idea of your Cl level. Download "bleachcalc" from this forum and apply your chlorine in accurate doses. You should be testing and adding three times daily or more. Adding Cl after dark will be more effective.

Adjust your pH and change your cartridge after your water is perfectly clear.

The reason it is taking you so long is because you are not being consistent and accurate with you chlorine application. The above steps will get you on track and accelerate the process.
