So... The pool has been open for a week, crystal clear water and the chemistry was absolutely perfect. I came home today and discovered one of the hoses my hubby hooked up, popped off and was draining the water from the pool (from the heater). The amount drained was about 4-5 inches and the...

Good morning! Should a winter pool cover be tight (relatively) across the top of the pool when its closed? I live in Michigan and we get lot's of snow. I have a larger cover on it (about an extra 10 inches at least) and the "extra" length is laying inside the pool on the water line. I'm not...

Hi all.... I started the slamming process yesterday after reading the instructions and I'm a little confused. Yesterday, CC was 1, CYA was 40, PH was 7.2. TA was 120 (normally runs around this figure). My reason for slamming the pool is that it had a "haze" for the last week or so and the...

Good morning all.....this morning readings are: FC-5 PH-7.5 TA-150 CYA-40 CH-240 The CDT for CC is 6, (11 drops on the first, and 1 drop on the second) My questions are: Could the 150 be my TA's happy place? It seems so high. P.H has been stable. We have been using the pool daily for the...

Thanks to everyone who has helped me the last few weeks with this BBB. It is so important for me to get this method right because I have a physical/mentally impaired grandson (Kayden, picture attached), who has some serious skin issues. He loves to swim and be in the water, but if it has too...

Ok, I thought I had this figured out but i'm not sure. Testing this morning.. CL - 5 PH - 7.0 TA - 150 CYA - 30 CAL - 250 CC - 65 (13 drops to change the color) x 0.5 = 65? I added abt 32 oz of stabilizer two days ago when the level was at 20. It has came up to 30. That CC level tells me...

So, I have been using the Aqua strips until my TF-100 came in. They (aqua strips) have been coming back fine as far as the results go. I Just finished testing with my new TF-100 kit and I there is a big difference. My results... TA-120 PH 7.2 F.C. 5 ppm CYA 20 Cl BR 2-4 Hmmm.... I know that...

Can someone double check my number's for me on the operating cost of my pump? 15amp, 115v. KWH cost at highest rate is 0.08257 (rounded up to 0.9). Running the pump 4 hours a day. I'm coming up with a cost of 18.63 at 4 hours x 30 days.....seems low....:-/

So... We just installed a new 24 round, 54 high, AG pool. Less than 5 days since the water was put in and the chemicals are already screwed up. Initially, the water test showed TH-1000, TC-0, FC-0, ph-low, TA-0, CA-0. I was going to use the BBB method and made the mistake of going to the...

Hi all! I'm new to this BBB. I have a 24 round, with a fresh load of water put in yesterday. I have never done the BBB method. I will be going out to get the recommended tester and things needed to maintain the pool. My question is, where do I start? Obviously, I test the water, then go...
