I don't know what his final decision will be but the trichlor and bad pool store advice got him into this pickle in the first place. I'll advise on the TA adjustment as a priority.

He added some baking soda as well last night. Several pounds I think?? So today his TA was 30. We know that's low. Should he continue to add baking soda to help with pH adjustment. I think he's out of pH up and was looking for Borax on his way home today.
