Thanks Dave and Evan.

Dave, I took your advice yesterday.

Evan, this morning I read the thread, and have now added 15 boxes (thats all the store had on the shelf), and 4 galloons of acid.

I'll test this afternoon. I don't have the borate strips, so I won't be able to test this change.

We've noticed that the water doesn't feel as silky this year. From what I've read, this should help get that feeling back. I've been using plain salt (the blue bags from Lowes) instead of Beginnings and Renewal. They must include this?

Thanks again, I'll let you know how it goes.

Evan, by the way I have a cartridge filter, so why no increase from the 3 boxes I added before is still a mystery?

Regards,
Kevin
