i just got back from wal mart after getting four 4lb of 20 mule team borax
i am going to the calculator to find out how much i need to put in the pool.
is it ok to include chlorine nad borax at the same time? do they offset ph-wise?or is that the actual idea?
also, what does 12 ppm mean. i know there are three types of chlorine ppm readings. which one is being referenced below.
i am going to bed at some stage tonight, so i will have one more trip to the pool.
if i can put in the chlorine and the borax at one time, what is the max amount of chlroine i can put in without adverse side effects. also, if i cannot put both in at the same time
which one is more important to put in.

also, i used my pool rover again tonight. hardly any green gunk at all. quite the normal dirt one would find.
the water is a very light green now, with slight increase in visibility depth
there is a white "spray" forming on the surface.
i tried the cya test, and i think it was at 30. that test does seem a bit subjective. if i squinted just right, i could see the essence of the black spot at the bottom, even at 30.
