Borax safety vs soda ash

[alanpaul]

Yes, SQuzie, you're in charge now, and soon you'll start to get the 'feel' of it. You'll start to feel confident, and in control. Once that happens, pool maintenance will take less time, and you'll start to find the answers to many of your questions in others' TFPool posts. You'll even think, as you read some posts, "I know the answer to that one." It's a good feeling! Enjoy!

My PH drops a little every day. I add Borax at least once a week. Is it possible to reach toxic levels?

Shelley, can you start a new thread? Post a full set of test results and we'll help you take a look.
