Hi there - have just shifted back to BBB after 3 years of using a Hayward puck Chlorinator and not noticing my CYA rise until I had a big algae problem that required me to drain and restart with BBB to get under control. Like the results using Walmart bleach and now looking for a way to not...

Have used an offline Chlorinator for years. Now, all of a sudden, I can't seem to get it to feed chlorine into the pool through it. Have just replaced the unit with a new unit, including all the tubes and fittings. Chlorinator turned all the way up. Still experiencing drop in chlorine in the...

Not sure why, but over the last few weeks, I am seeing an increase in my pool pump pressure over a matter of days instead of the normal weeks. When clean (or after a backwash) I run at about 13-14. And I can usually go 3-6 months without a backwash triggered by rising pressure to about 20...

Need some advice to know if I have a problem. I live in Atlanta, and over the summer, it was not unusual for me to top off the pool 3-4 times a week due to the high heat levels. However, we are now in the Fall and the temperatures have cooled down quite a bit, and I find that I am still...

Thanks for all the information on this forum. I have a 24,400 gallon chlorine pool. From what I have learned here, I was able to completely open and clean the filter grids successfully!!! So now, I am attempting to convert to the BBB method and eliminate my pool company completely. Bought...

Hi everyone - I am new to pool care, and have been backwashing once a month or so over the winter (about 5 backwashes). I have a DE filter. I have noticed that the suction pressure is dropping. I have a fountain and the pressure on the flow is marginal. In my skimmers, when I reach into them...
