    So should I add just one "dose" of dichlor? or two? and should I ALWAYS do equal amounts of BORAX?

    You add dichlor to raise chlorine. It also raises CYA.

    You add borax to raise pH.

    You only do either, when you want to affect the particular pool factor. I usually try to size 'doses' to give them a reasonable amount to add at one time. But, that's assuming a 'test, dose, retest' approach, that corrects pool factors gradually.
