    Fiberglass pool watermom I only wondered as I read borates help with algae which is not a problem really. I'm always on the lookout for algae prevention and since the forum and calculator have a place for it. Sounded like a hassle like 20 boxes of mule team. Thanks for responding Dave G

    If you do want to add borates to your pool as an algae preventative like some do, that is fine. You would need to get a test kit that can measure for it and can do so on the test kit page linked here:> http://pool9.net/tk/

    Hope this answers your question.
