I was using trichlor in the big bucket from Wally, my PH was solid at 7.5, TA is 110, chlorine holding nicely.I switched to bleach because my CYA reached 85 and would like to continue using bleach. I have a fountain on my return, this aeration and swimming has caused my PH to rise recently 7.8. The chlorine level don't seem to hold as well overnight, I'm showing NO CC's.I added a bit too much acid and wound up at 7.2. I would like a bit more Borates anyway to my pool since the strips say I'm not at recommended level. Is it fine to add Borax to get my PH back to 7.5 or should I aerate. I don't want to end up in a cycle back and forth adding chemicals. I really liked the PH being solid and chlorine holding but something has changed. We have had more hot days also.Pool school says TA 70-90, is this optimum in my case and should I drain the CYA back to recommended 30-50.
