Borates make everything better and easier: buffer, algacide, chlorine supplement, water softener, clarifier. It’s the most bang for your buck. And it’s just a one time addition with a snack yearly booster Pool Rx only lasts 4-6 months and the single measurable benefit is a moderate decrease in chlorine demand
@Andrew Leavitt and it doesn't even stay chelated. Now some the reason isn't all on pool rx but there needs to be disclaimers for sure. Had a horrible pool last year. Metals , ph could never balance due to their source fill water and sky high phosphates. Added the borates and going on a year haven't added an y additional and it's stayed crystal clear. Not to mention most well water pools already look dull. Really shines the water up. Chitosan clarifier used to be my miracle juice . Also really keeps the ph In range . Most our pools have such high phosphate they would barely hold free chlorine. No more 3 4 5 pounds shock a week. Pool rx works in fewer cases versus a bulletproof borate treatment.
Does this work ok with filter balls (versus sand or cartridges)?
Yes, should be compatible
Poolrx or borate?
borates 1 million percent
@@grapplerguy2007 how come?

@@drdrew3 thanks for the info
Pool rx stains your pool , you will get a green color in your tile , rocks hot tub spillway
Probably already had copper in your water
