    You can add borax to raise the pH to normal levels, and swim immediately.

    Awesome, thanks! I went ahead and added the PH Rise(you mentioned it was the same as washing soda just more expensive?)I already had here, but will switch to using Borax when it runs out. Gonna check the Ph and see where it's at here soon and adjust as needed. Then tomorrow swim and hopefully no more rash. I'll keep an eye on the chlorine, but should I dose with Dichlor again to get the Cya up? I'm still using the tablets, but I guess they aren't adding much yet.

    Thanks again for everyone's help!

    If you have dichlor, go ahead and use it. Just remember that for every ppm of chlorine added, dichlor adds almost a ppm of CYA.

    Sounds good, I'll add it tomorrow night when we're done swimming since the FC was at 13 when I tested today.

    Thanks again!
