Unless you soften the feed, raising the pH that high will likely cause serious CaCO3 scaling to occur and could result in Mg(OH)(SiO2) scaling problems. Be careful.
Have you checked your feed for the other "B" bad actor, bromine? If you chlorinate or ozonate the Br is converted to BrO3 (bromate) which is not not nice if the water is used for potable purposes.
