Thanks for the info. I was still planning on using the boric acid but just was curious after what this guy said about it

I am about to refill my pool, so I picked up a 50 lb bag of boric acid at a local industrial chemical supply company (for $50) and a very friendly manager there was curious what I was using it for. When I explained it was to add borates to my pool, he was really interested and mentioned a...

Yeah, I had come to that conclusion using the Pool Math calculator. Really glad it wasn't pure borax since I didn't add the 3 gallons of MA to combat the pH! The TA has held steady at around 90 since I added some MA to drop pH back to around 7.7. The supplier has links to their Technical Data...

Thanks! Been lurking for a little while. In case you're curious, my username reflects how I feel about getting a handle on my pool chemistry after over seven years of pool ownership! (mostly thanks to this forum)

Thanks for all the replies! I am quite certain of the levels, I have the Taylor 2006-K and have been testing pretty much daily for a few weeks now. After my initial post I added a quart of 14.5% MA which did seem to drop the pH back down to 7.6 - which actually almost surprised me because with a...

So... quick question. I found a local supplier that sold me a 50 lb bag of what they said was granular boric acid (great deal at $47+tax). The bag itself was even labeled as Boric Acid. I only needed 35 lb for my 15,000 gallon pool, which I added this morning. Before adding, TA was 80 and pH...
