Help with raising ph

[gerri]

Your Alk may be keeping the Ph stable where it's at.. that's a guess from a newbie. One idea I have though, have you pointed your eyeball (jets) straight up to aerate the water? That raised my Ph for me.

ccc,

I'll bet your test only goes as low as 6.8 pH so you were probably much lower to start. Keep adding the borax....one box at a time.....it'll start to move when you get enough in there.

Alk is fine and your result of "hi" for chlorine is to indeterminate to have an opinion.
