is there a borax calculator?

[aylad]

Also, do I need to dilute the borax in a bucket of pool water, or can i just throw it as dry powder into the pool?

thanks,

How much Borax you have to use will depend...the higher your TA is, the more Borax it will take to raise your pH. For example, in a pool with a TA of 100, it may only take 1/2 box to raise pH by 0.4-0.6, but in the same pool with a TA of 180, it will take much more Borax to raise the pH by the same amount. It also depends on the volume of your pool.

I pour Borax as dry powder into the skimmer and let it dissolve from there--I see results in my IG pool within the hour doing it that way.
