Hi All,

I'm Mark, I have an old pool (built in 1990). I recently realized my pH and Alk weren't very close, so just learning about Borax as a solution. I have other old pool issues I will be asking about as time goes on...
This looks like a good resource, I'm going to be reading a bit before asking a question. Thanks in advance.

I attempted to upload a pic to my profile picture, it's a lap pool with a spa tucked around the corner. I've been reading Pool School and I'll be working on lowering my CYA from 200 for the next few days. The haze is smoke from the fires here in California...
