I recently started using borax and have a good understanding of it, aware of the rise in pH and the use of muriatic acid to lower. Next I’ll be experimenting with “boric acid”. Since boric acid is not raising the pH and less use of muriatic acid, when adding it is it lowering the pH some as I believe I heard somewhere? Also I’ll be using the powdered form, 99.9% pure, I’m assuming it’ll dissolve faster than the granular, aside from that any other benefit of powder vs granular? Looking forward. Please advise! Thank you!
