Hi...
Been lurking for almost 2 years now...time to start posting...
I gleaned most of what I THOUGHT I needed to know from the forums...including BBB. Pool has been very stable since. Got my CYA at 50-60 this year with minimal effort.
Way-yull...last week ph was around 7.0-7.2, pool calculator said I needed ~40 oz of borax to get back to 7.5-7.6
I grabbed a box, and added it all...thinking it was a 2.5 lb box...
Yesterday I was in pool, and it "just didnt feel right".
Tested with K-2006, FC was 3-4 and ph is off the upper end of 8.0. Checked borax box, it was 4.5 lb, not 2.5...arrgh...
Dont have any muriatic acid on hand, never needed any so far...ph always went down, never up!
But that's what I'm thinking, pick some up HCl tomorrow and add a quart at a time, wait a few hours, test and see. ???
