    Spa blower is too hard

    How do I get the white haze off my tile?

    New to the BBB method

    I just started on the BBB method. I'm just about out of trichlor tablets and should I continue to use them or just balance it with acid, bleach and baking soda? The place I get my water tested is pushing the Bioguard Silk tabs and Poollife multi-purpose tabs
