Hi,
My pool store sells a product that is designed to provide "algae suppression and water softening". It is 100% sodium tetraborate pentahydrate. Is anyone familiar with this chemical? My most recent store water test calls for 10 lbs. of it. I've used it often in the past, but have not added any in recent years. I'm wondering how necessary it is if I am also adding algaecide regularly?
Thanks.
