How much chlorine is too much??

[chili]

Thanks for the reply,
I used The tri chlor tabs all last year but I wont be any more, I had a problem keeping the ph up last year so now I know why. The pool is really clear now so I will check the cya again, I think I am out of the solution but will check it as soon as I get some more. To answer your question I broadcasted (is that a word?) the first box and put the last 3 thru the skimmer and I have not backwashed yet. Should I keep adding more Borax ??

Thanks Again

Yes, if it's still below 7.0, I would continue to add Borax until you get to at least 7.0. Even if you overshoot it, slightly high pH is much less of a problem and causes less damage than very low pH, which can ruin your liner.

I would keep the filter running 24/7 for a few days, too--it's entirely possible that the amount of baking soda and borax powders you added are what is making your pool cloudy.
