My POP is being challenged and the stubburn is being shaken from my mule.

I have been trying to raise my PH as follows:

Keep in mind my numbers:

Initial readings: for 8000 gal pool
FC=0
CC=0
TC=0
PH= Below 6.8
AlK=30
CYA=0

Current Numbers:

FC=0
CC=0
TC=0
PH= 6.8 (-) can't see much gain because it is the bottom of the scale
AlK=50-60 (Depending on how red the color change needs to be)
CYA=0

I have been adding Borax by the lb(pound) every hour with the exception of over night. I've added about 5.5 lbs total so far. I've also added about 25oz of Soda Ash (Left over).

I could use some encouragement because I've been at this for 2 days now and my real problems (metal) haven't even been addressed yet. I'm still working on the PH.
