    Which comes first, the chicken or the Chlorine?

    Seriously though, I just read that Total Alkalinity needs to be settled before changing PH, so now I'm chasing my tail after adding a couple boxes of Borax and the PH is still 7.0 I tried to find the SLAM article I read years ago, but I cannot find it.
