Did you, by any chance, recently replace your pH reagent and possibly get the wrong replacement? Is it possible that you were using one of the other reagents instead of the one for pH? It would be really odd to me to start out in the "pink", add Borax, and have the pH go down.......did you check and make sure that you're adding the Borax in the green box and not the borax washing powder? (I'm not trying to insult your intelligence, but yours is a really odd situation). I'm guessing that the orange color is going to be in the low 6 range, and I really don't want you to have liner problems with a brand new one.
I guess it's possible that some byproduct form the new liner may be lowering the pH a little bit, but that's really a WAG....hopefully one of the others more expert in liners will pop in and give an opinion.
