    I haven’t texted the TA after yet. It was 90 before. After adding 1 gallon the PH was 7.6 this morning and a little more clear. I’ll test TA this morning and adjust to 7.2 in the process.

    Much appreciated on the fast help. The boron level wasn’t coming up so he kept adding. Lol. He called me frantic when the pool went opaque. We will survive.

    I think I may need over 2 gallons if pool math is right

    Help. 3 boxes of washing soda instead of borax

    So I asked a young man to help me out with my pool and he put 3 boxes of washing soda in instead of 3 boxes of borax. I try to keep the boron ppm at around 30-40 and he was trying to help. Pool is completely cloudy and the ph is through he roof. Help.
