Question about Alk & pH

[chemicalbalance]

I think that you are in good shape. A slight dose of borax should bump your pH up a little to where you want to be. Your Alkalinity is still low enough that your pH should not be locked in yet. I agree that if you raise your pH a little, then your alkalinity will follow naturally into a stable range.

I think that you are right on track. Just take your time.

Thanks so much for the advice! I'll start adding some Borax in the morning. Now, if there was just some magic way to get that water temp up!

If you are using bleach you might want to give the pH a day or two; the bleach will raise it.

Your alkalinity is in the "acceptable" range so why muck with it?
