Borates for Swimming Pools 50 lbs

Many people are discovering the benefits of Borates for Swimming Pools. Enjoy Silky Soft, Cleaner & More Sparkly Pool Water with a Borate Treatment. Whether it’s Borax, Boric Acid, or Boracic Acid, these Borates do the following, by adding the element boron to swimming pools:

1. you get the benefits of an algaestat, therefore enhanced sanitation,
2. a pH buffer against the upward drift of pH common with salt-chlorine generators and water features,
3. softer feeling water,
4. more ‘sparkle’ from your pool

Adding borate minerals just needs to be done once, as minerals don’t leave with evaporation. Just the amount that may be lost due to splash out would be replaced each season to continue experiencing these great benefits. 

When it comes to adding borate minerals to swimming pools, the pool professionals choice is to use boric acid instead of borax for the following reasons: first, borax has a higher pH level than boric acid, and therefore requires a large pH adjustment after the treatment, and second, boric acid is generally less expensive than the namebrand versions of Borax.

To achieve the recommended level of 50 ppm, you would use approximately 3 pounds of Boric Acid for every thousand gallons of pool water.
