Thanks, appreciate the help... but that's Borax, which is not boric acid (though it is mostly made of it). The issue is the other items in Broax raises the Ph in the pool a shizz-tonne, and the amount of borax you have to add is insane.
For a 10,000GAL pool you'd have to add 16.6KG OF BORAX! Then you have to add about 8 LITRES of acid to counteract the PH rise from the borax.
The benefit of using boric acid is that it's PH impact on the pool is limited, and the acid in the boric acid counteracts the Ph rise from the boric-part of boric acid, so it's essentially Ph neutral from a pool-Ph perspective.
The #### you learn with a pool... I'm never swimming in a public pool again.
