Borates now or in the spring?

[TroyB]

I finally have all of my readings right where I want them. My test results from Saturday are the following:

FC = 3
PH = 7.6
TA = 90
CH = 250
CYA = 60

Should I add borates (20 mule & acid) now or wait for the spring? We are only using the spa now, the kids say it is too cold to swim in the pool :!:

It is really a question of when you have more time and what is easier for you. Having borates in the water will reduce your chances of getting algae over the winter just a little, but that isn't a large enough difference to influence the decision very much.
