💦Pool Help 13 ● Add Borates to Your Pool with Granular Boric Acid ● Save Money on Chemicals!

In this video I show the experience I had with my implementation of Borates, as I try to win the battle against rising pH. My pool has a large spillover which causes water turbulence, and that contributes to the pH always rising and the need for more and more muriatic acid to lower pH. Borates are proven to work as a buffer to slow pH from rising.
