Sorry if this is in the wrong section! I wasn’t sure which forum to post it in, so feel free to move if necessary!
I’m thinking about adding borates to my pool now that I have my TA and pH in check. I know they give a softer water feel and a more “sparkly” appearance, which I find appealing. My main reasons for wanting to add borates are for my pH rise issues, though. Before anyone recommends getting a SWG (for the “silky” water feel), I plan on it in the next year or so — right now it is not in the budget after a hefty AGP installation bill + electrical and everything else. Has anyone added borates and would you recommend? Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
