Thank you! I should be ready shortly for the addition.

I’m in tail end of my prep for boric acid. I think the last round of MA should bring my TA to 60 and my PH to 7. My question is, where should I aerate my PH back to? I read that boric acid will lower my PH slightly but I don’t know how much. Is 7.5 ok or should I go higher because the drop will...

Hello all. I am in the process of prepping my pool to add boric acid. I have been lowering the PH and TA with MA and then aerating and repeating. I just finished doing the PH and TA test. When I did the TA test it turned red at 60 I decided to do one more drop and it turned a bright red. So my...

Thank you for the great instructions. The water is actually clear, no visible issues. Outside of the possible black algae spots. I will confirm those shortly.
