    Need some guidance on getting ph up.

    Put some borax in based on the app. Instant cloud. Turned the pump off to let it settle

    I do. I tried that before, all I did was cool my pool off :( also was not thinking to turn that off at night. And I ran it for 3 days didn't see much of a difference really.

    Second test I come up with 25 ppm chlorine and 4 drops to get back to clear on the combined chlorine test. I don't understand the directions on how to calculate that.

    So. Free chlorine. 22.5 ph 6.5. Maybe. Total alkali 100ppm. Maybe. Hardness 230 ppm. Cya 55. Maybe. I don't know that I am getting accurate results. I watched the video 6 times now but my colors don't match exactly.

    Total alkalinity test turns blue instead of green. And takes 10 drops to turn yellow instead of pink or red. Hardness test turns purple then to blue. 230ppm ch.

    Also I know my ph is low and I added 10 drops with the Taylor 2006 kit. I have borax how much should I add?

    A day early! So here's what I got for free chlorine. 22.5ppm. Should I bother to test the rest when it's this high? And can I swim when it's this high?
