well i knew it wouldn't hurt to buy all three while i was at the grocery store. considering they told me to put 6kg in, does that mean i am to put 6kg of baking soda in?? i added 1 kg right after making my post today, then brushed and vacuumed the entire pool again. i just retested and the alk seems to of risen to 100 from 60 , does this sound about right? after testing i then added about 2 litres of bleach to boost it up again.am i ever glad i bought those skimmer socks! almost instantly the thing turnes black with particulate dirt


i looked for WASHING soda at walmart and sobeys and couldn't find it but i have quite a bit of store bought PH^ left from last season but i thought the borax was used to bring the ph^ while not affecting the alkalinity :|



hmmm better go and reat the thread a few more times
