I have my water nearly ready to add borates. I jumped the gun and bought 90lb of Endure before reading thoroughly and realizing I can buy boric acid for cheaper and do the whole process more easily. Also didn’t buy enough (need about 105 lbs) My question is can I do both, Endure then boric acid? My plan would be to do the Endure with MA with the 90lb I’ve got then do boric acid for the rest. Would that work? If so, how long between these would I need to wait?

Also, do I need to turn off my SWG during this?
 
A 10% difference in the borates level will make no difference you can see. Add the 90 lbs of Endure and move on. You will have sufficient borates in your pool.

No, you don't need to turn off your SWG.
