    Here ya go. Scroll down to the chart:

    Ben's Best Guess* Guide to Swimming Pool Chlorine
    version 2.0


    A Chlorine level of 5 or 6 is fine. Keep an eye on your PH. I'd dump 2 cups of Borax in to bring it up to 7.5

    Are you able to see the blue links in my signature below? The reason I ask is that we are finding that some new members can't see them and we are having to do some tweaking on the admin side to enable that for them.

    Your pH is ok at 7.2. Since you just added acid to lower it, I wouldn't add any borax just yet. Give it some time. As long as it doesn't drop lower it is fine. If it does, then Yeggin is correct in saying that you'll need to add a little Borax.

    Thanks Watermom, you're right. It's better to wait. I figured with a TA of 50 she might go lower than 7.2 PH.

    She might, but she can adjust it then if it does.
