Is borax added to a swimming pool safe for people?
Borax is perfectly safe in swimming pools. We started using it in our inground pool two years ago and would not use anything else. Not only is it less expensive (a lot less expensive) but the water feels softer when we use it. My husband had to spend some time convincing me that Borax works and works safely but I’m very glad he did. Our pool has never looked better. We had been buying every product that the pool store told us we needed (we did need it didn’t we?) One summer they couldn’t get our pool water cleared up so in frustration my husband turned to the internet and the use of Borax. We saved a bundle and our pool cleaned up beautifully. Hope this helps you.
