I've looked at Evan and Richard's discussion regarding the dosage of borax and HCl per 1000 gallons. If they've got their numbers right it would mean a 22,000 gallon pool would require 17 boxes of borax and 5 gallons of muriatic acid. That sounds about right compared to the ProTeam Supreme dosage instructions. But that's more than $100 worth of chemicals. Cheaper than Proteam Supreme but I think I'll hold off for a bit and see if the Waterbear is still seeing good results after a week.

So, Evan, I've been waiting with bated breath. Does your pool still hold chlorine better than it did before you added Borax? Is the pool still sparklier and less eye-stingy? Can we call this technique "ProBear Supreme?"
