I'm thinking about borates too first year I have been fighting algae. Surgery and three herniated discs in my neck have made daily pool more difficult. It's a real pain lugging all the bleach. I have sky high phosphates from fill water. 13,500 above ground pool I followed the posts in the china shop but with the meds and all I need borates for dummy's OK I will get the strips. Now how much do I add when and where? I have never added any Borax to the water.
Thanks Again,
