Can't raise ph

[duraleigh]

I'll bet your pH will come up nicely if you take out the Frog. It's putting out very, very low pH Tri-chlor 24/7 whether the pump is running or not.

I'm puzzled why you use the Frog and liquid chlorine both?

Thanks for the reply I will continue to add the borax and am going to try to circulate the water with the frog chlorinator pak (the tri chlor tabs removed} I am puzzled as to how the frog puts chlorine in the pool as it is connected after the filter on the return line

I thought the Frog was a floater....not in-line. Sorry I misunderstood your first post.

Getting that tri-chlor out of your pool will still make a difference in your pH...sometimes a fairly dramatic difference. That coupled with the Borax should have you where you want to be soon. (Although, I would be comfortable with a pH @ 7.0-7.2 as long as it was tested pretty often and it sure sounds like you do.)
