Long story short. My health has forced me to go back to pucks in a floating feeder. I can’t do the adding of liquid chlorine every 1 or 2 days unfortunately and a salt water chlorinator is not possible right now. So as expected the ph is low. Just checking with the pros if borax is the way to...

Good morning! Happy Mothers Day! Love TFP! When I closed the pool last season I opened up the filter to put it away for the winter. The "fingers" had no DE attached to them at all. All the DE was laying at the bottom of the filter. So I figured I was running it for about a month with no DE...
