Is borates simmilar to CYA in terms of how levels drop / increase?
eg. do you need to drain if borate levels get too high?
What are the ill effects of too high borate level say 70ppm ???
Does anything "consume" borates to make the level drop?
The reason I ask is that CYA was such a problem for me....
If the borate level is perfect and you are continually adding borax to the water to adjust pH up will that lead to the same or simmilar sort of problems as continually adding and therefore raising CYA does?
