    Default Re: borax in the pool

    Thanks for all the information.... I see particles that look like dust
    that seem to go away when I add acid (I am using sodium bisulfate) powder for acid balence. Maybe this is undisolved borax ?

    I have been through while slime algae over a year ago and the use of borax
    seems to be solution. If can just get rid of the cloudiness "particles".

    Also I added DE to my cartridge filter system per Hayward filter instruction, so for a while I thought this might be the issue. (free DE i pool?) But after a filter change 6 months ago for no real issues, there is no difference from the filter change. Sill particles in pool.

    I have used a polishing filter "slime bag" and it does not take away the mini particles so I am on a hunt- to find out what and how to eliminate them.

    FC 2
    CC 0
    PH 7.6
    TA 100
    CH 100 (indoor vinyl liner)

    Any suggestions , and can borax be not absorbed due to its chemical nature needs to have to have some process to get rid the cloudiness? ( I used 20 mule type) Would going to 7.4 make a difference ?

    Thanks in advance.
