I am a Baquacil convert and love BBB. I am trying to help my sister with her pool. It is cloudy...I know to continue to shock until it clears my question is ...her ph is 8.2....do we just clear it up first and then work on the ph? Thanks Deb

In pool school it says before closing to get your pool to shock level and keep it there for 24 hours. I'm not exactly sure what that means..I know what shock level means...but what does it mean for 24 hours? do I test every few hours and add bleach for 24 hours? Thanks Deb :hammer:

I know I have read it before but can't seem to find the info. Is it safe to swim in a pool that is up to shock level. I'm having a problem with over night loss of 3.5 so I am shocking. Pool is in direct sun most of the day. I have a 2 year old Grandson and just want to make sure it is ok to...

I noticed the water was low and then I saw a dip at the edge of the liner and sure enough I have a leak. It is about the size of half an eraser head of a pencil. The pool stores are all closed ...what should I do? Should I try to put something over it (a piece of tape or something) until I can...

I have an above ground pool. It gets very warm in the hot Alabama summers. My husband made a device last year and it seemed to help. You have to take the eyeball out of the pool and attach it. I was told that was not a good idea....that it may cause my liner to slip and I did notice some slack...

I have a friend who wants me to test her water while she waits on her test kit. How long can you wait from the time you get the sample til you test it? It could be as long as 48 hours. Is that ok? By the way..I converted at the end of the summer. Opened pool a few weeks ago and it is...

Hi..I wasn't sure where to post this question.I need a new CA view tube....thanks to my grandson. I saw everything but it.Can someone tell me if I can order a new one? Thanks, Deb

Since I have converted to BBB I have noticed that my cartridge filter is much lighter when I take it out to clean it. Is that because the Baqucil had it gunked up and in held water. Has anyone else noticed this?? Thanks, Deb...loving my BBB pool

I just finished a conversion to BBB.This question is for a friend who wants to convert when she opens up in the spring. What does she need to do to her pool when she closes this year? Thanks

I am definitely going to convert from Baqucil to chlorine..just have to decide the best time.Right now my pool is in really bad shape.I can't even see the bottom of the pool. I would really like to get it cleared up before the season ends, but I would have to wait on test kit.Would it be best to...
