First of all, borax (sodium tetraborate decahydrate) in water produces boric acid and raises the pH. So the studies on boron toxicity that refer to boric acid are absolutely relevant for Borax as well.
This particular compound increases the acidity of the water, lowering the pH level. Use the test strips to track pH levels. Change the pool water less frequently as another option. Compounds that decrease the pH of pool water, such as calcium carbonate, naturally build up over time. Allowing this buildup to occur will naturally lower the pH. Use the pH strips to determine when the water must be changed. Once the pH is below the recommended pH of 7.2, change the water.
