    Default Adding Borax

    My pH is 7.3. With roughly 16,000 gallons, how much Borax do I add to get it to the desired reading? Thank you.

    [ Admin -- actually, don't. The bleach calculator's borax calculations are in error. See this page instead: http://www.poolforum.com/pf2/showthread.php?18597 ]

    What's wrong with a PH of 7.3???


    Don't add anything, your PH is fine.
