Richards post is dated. Y'all might wanna check out recent research. A little gain for fighting ph rise along with more sparkly water? Risk is unnecessary. I love this site because it promotes minimalism. Stop trying to chase a ph of 8 down to 7.2.
We're all for data. Do you have any references to recent research?
By the way, when I read Richard's post I took it as there was no data at that time regarding effects of borates in humans, but the guidelines were that if a child consumes even a small amount of pool water with 50ppm borates that there is potential negative effects.
