Oh - ok. I added Dry Stabilizer (CYA) to increase my CYA levels. I haven't made any pool math recommended adjustments for pH yet. It is currently recommending I add 27 oz of Borax for that.

Thank you! I think I will go ahead and order a test kit. While waiting for it to arrive can I go ahead and start the seasonal pool process since there won't be anything in the water? And I think I'm missing where to start adding chlorine to the pool in that article. What step is it? Step...
