    The Liquidator - White Buildup in Tubes

    I installed the liquidator about 3 months ago. It has worked well so far. In such a short period, it appears that there is already a white buildup in the tubes. I anticipate that this will clog them eventually. What is going on here? Is there a way to clean them up?

    Seeing if the BBB method can work

    We put in a 15,000 gunite pool with quartz last summer and have been using standard chlorine pucks with a chlorine feeders. I am interested in moving away from these and seeing if the BBB method can work. I do have a few questions: 1. Is there ever a need for "shock" or do you just add more...
