Thanks guys! I won't be able to add borates as I have 2 dogs that LOVE to drink pool water. After a walk, they're both really hot and they like nothing better than to jump into this pool's tanning/play area, swish their faces in and around the water and drink up some water. They did the same thing with our last pool, as well.

I was part of a thread a couple years back when borates were first coming up as a topic and I think it was you, Evan, who mentioned you also had pets but had taught them not to drink from the pool.

I could train them to not drink the pool water but I've just chosen not to...at least at this point.

And, I am aware that high chlorine levels are also a risk to them, so had to manage their activities when the pool was first at FC=23. Would you still use PolyQuat in a pool where pets drank a good bit of water on a daily basis?
