10" to go

Should I go ahead and try to raise the alkalinity now? I have been adding bleach and borax daily but only put a small amount of baking soda so far. My alk. has been reading about 50. Hopefuly I can turn on the pump tomorrow. Thanks again, Sharon

I would just wait until the pool is full and you are circulating before worrying about the alk and baking soda.

Finally, I have the pump running. I have just added some more borax and bleach. It is night time here and I learned that it's best to do chemicals at night. I will test in the morning. The water still looks good. Lots of bugs. I guess there all thirsty. Thanks for all the help. Sharon
