Hi, I'm brand new here - please forgive my ignorance! I have a salt system pool, 35,000 gallons, in-ground (in Texas). Current pool temp is fluctuating between 70 and 76 degrees.
My pool store is recommending that I add 90 lbs. of Optimizer to "inhibit algae growth, add sparkle, and soften the water". While I don't doubt that it's a good thing, I don't really want to pay upwards to $250. Am I understanding correctly that I can substitute Borax for Optimizer? And if so, what is the conversion? (Do I need 90 lbs of Borax?)
Thanks in advance,
Crissy
