I have had the most successful and trouble free pool summer since I started the BBB method when I replaced my liner in June!
But, I am confused about the use of borax to raise PH, (which I haven't had to do since my initial filling of my new liner) and this thing about borates. I think I understand that Borax for PH increase adds borates, but not in the amount as in with those wanting borates in the pool for other purposes. I ask because I have read that borates are dangerous to dogs that occasionally lap up pool water. When just used to increase PH, is that amount considered dangerous to dogs?
Since everyone here is using BBB, I assume some also have their pets swimming in their pool. I just want to be sure.
Thanks!
