Borate

Borate is used in combination with sanitizers (chlorine, bromine and biguanide) to kill bacteria and inhibit algae development. Some studies suggest that borate, combined with reduced levels of chlorine, maintains the pool water in better condition than chlorine alone. The combination of chlorine and borate may actually reduce chlorine consumption. In addition to suppressing algae growth, borate reduces eye and skin irritatation, and it can also improve water clarity.

The best part about borate is that it will not evaporate, and it will not degrade when exposed to the sun's ultraviolet rays. Therefore, once you adjust the borate level to its ideal range (about 50 ppm), it will remain at that level until you drain and refill the water.

The Aquachek Borate test strips can save you a lot of money on chemicals. You won't waste extra money adding more borate to pools that already have an ideal level. You may also find that you can spend less money on chlorine for pools that have the proper amount of borate in the water.
