    Default Raised borates to 50 ppm but didn't see any corresponding increase in alk

    I've raised borates to the maintenance level of 50 ppm but didn't see any corresponding increase in alk. Alk was at 80 when I started and it's still at 80 now that I have completed adding all the Borax. Is this a concern, I thought alk would increase with the addition of the borax. I used Borax and Muriatic acid. Thx, DBR
