I'm trying to get TA down, and then I want to add Borates. At this time of year I'm not generating all that much chlorine, so it would take several days to get much movement upward in pH. I guess I'm just a little impatient.
My point is that sometimes, but rarely, (Once I am through with this process, I probably will not ever need to do it again until I get a new liner.) you may want to raise your pH even though you have a SWG. I have no idea why the original poster wants to raise his pH, but depending on where he is in TA, he may want to aerate instead of adding borax or soda ash.
