Clorox outdoors

[minermom]

Thanks for your help.
Is there somewhere on the forum that tells me how much Borax to add and how much it will raise the numbers? (and the bleach). (I know I've seen it somewhere but I can't seem to find it again. ) I know on the back of the big bag of Baking Soda it tells the numbers, and on the stabilizer it tells, but the Borax I'm not sure about.
Thanks again so much,
Kerrie

Here's the bleach calculator you've probably seen before..

There's not going to be a rule of thumb for the Borax to raise pH, though--how much you have to add to raise your pH by a given amount will depend on your alk level--the lower the alk level, the easier the pH is to move.

Thanks for your help.
My alk level is about 170, and my ph is about 7.2 still.
Should I start with like a cup full or a box?
Thanks again,
Kerrie
