ok, I have finally run out of my pool store chems and will be switching over to the BBB method. For the most part I think I have it figured out. I have one last question. To raise ph you can add Borax or soda ash. It apears to take much less soda ash than borax, which seems the way to go. Only what the heck is soda ash. where and under what name do i get it???

I have several skeptical coworkers watching me go through this process so i dont want to screw up. If this works for me, they will go BBB next season.

Great Forum!!
