Here's the Numbers:
FC 2.0
TC 2.0
CC 0.0
PH 6.8 (I just added acid this AM)
Hardness 190ppm
TA 40ppm (I know this is the culprit for the acid demand)
CYA 65ppm (alittle low)
no metals....
I guess my big question is, should I go with the 20 mule borax to raise my TA or go with 15 pounds of alkalinity control? I read the thread on using borax to raise the TA and like what people say about the water.. That being said my water is amazingly clear at the moment.
Warehouse pools and raise my TA and soften the water for about 40 bucks worth of chems.. I figure the borax and close to 4 gallons of acid will cost me more than that just to raise the TA.. It's not all about the $$, I'd love some opinions..
TIA.
