    I added the dichlor last night and the water looks nice and clear. The chlorine tested at 3.0 and the pH is a little low at 7.2. So do I raise it with Borax? And if so, what's the procedure?

    Many thanks....

    Just add 1/4 box, to start. Add more, till you get to 7.6. On a small Intex, you can broadcast it.

    7.2 is actually fine for pH, but dichlor tends to lower pH quite a bit, as it gets used up, so it's a bit safer to have it higher, so it doesn't go below 7.0.
