After testing my pool yesterday, the PH is looking like a 7.0. Its been hovering on the lower end (7.2ish) the last few weeks, but I'm always second guessing and maybe being a bit optimistic matching the colors up on the Taylor test kit, so it may have actually been closer to 7.0 all along.
Is it worth dumping in the recommended 3.5lbs of Borax, or should i give it a bit to see if it will naturally rise? I've got one jet that points towards the surface, and I run at 1400 RPM 24hrs a day. I don't have any bubblers or a waterfall to turn on to try more with the aeration method. There is some rain in the forecast, which I read helps aeration, and we just starting using it for the season this weekend so I can toss in a few cannonballs to encourage splashing.
I know 7.0 is considered borderline ok, but I just don't want to run into a situation where it starts to drop below that. All of my other measurements are below in case they're needed.
PH 7.0
FC 8ppm
TA 70ppm
CYA 60ppm (added dry stabilizer last week and rose from 40ppm, was trying for 70)
CH120ppm
Salt 3200ppm
Temp 80F
Thanks in advance!
