I use borax and need to adjust ph up

[lungs414]

My borate level is about 40 already and my ph is 6.8 after massive rain storms.
Pool calculator says to add 201 ounces of borax to correct. Will this mess up borax level to high or should I use something else to raise ph?

Use borax...it will only raise your borate level by 6.1 ppm. 50 ppm target for borates is a guideline. Being a bit above that wont hurt or help anything.
