Hello -
Does adding borax to a pool increase measured "salt" levels (since sodium borate is the active ingredient)? Have been adding borax to a salt water pool to increase Ph level where alkalinity is already on the high side.
Went to have water tested and salt level has jumped 3500 to 5000 ppm. Also tested with a salt water test strip which also shows it to be in 5000 range.
