    So i still haven't retested cya yet. Will on Sat. I have been adding 2-3 ppm every evening. By mid day im testing at 1 or 3 on the 6 way kit. I end up using 4 -5 ppm through out day and evening.

I added borax and was able to get my ph up from 6.8 to 7.5. Is that good or do i need to get it up to 7.8? Also tested CYA this...

    Yes cya 40 is what i added and bleach 8.25% at 5 ppm. 2ppm loss @ 8.25% bleach is 16 oz for me. Starting there and if that isn't enough move up to 3ppm? Borax is not a sold block. 16x48 intex ultra with intex sand filter 2800
