    Tears in my Pool

    We are relatively new pool owners, having inherited a pool in our new house. These past 2 years, we have a nightmare of a time keeping the pool clear. Using the advice of the forum, I have been using BBB to balance the water. The info has been very helpful and I feel like I am finally...
