Is the copper sulfate causing more bleach/chlorine requirements? I'm just surprised at the amount of bleach required so far.

I am converting over to the BBB method, but going through chlorine like nobody's business (4 gallons a day... after getting started on the program with 24 gallons in my 11K gallon pool). After reading a posting on Baquacil, it got me to wondering. Earlier this summer, I tried a product called...

Thanks for the quick response! Is their any logic in trying the Intex and then moving up at a later date (next season or something)? Anybody else given that a try? The $170 is really tempting...

I'm so thankful that I found this forum and the results of using the BBB Method on my pool are pretty amazing. On the negative side though, I'm already tiring of buying and dumping bleach all the time and I'm wondering about installing a SWG for the pool to achieve the same results a little...

Waskydiver - A couple of days ago I did a 30-40% water change. After reading some on the CYA -> Ammonia conversion you mentioned, a significant water change can explain the lower CYA. What do you think?

Last night the levels were: FC - 15 CC - .5 PH - 7.2 TA - 130 CYA - 40 Surprised by the lower PH and CYA to be honest... Then this morning, the levels: FC - 5 CC - 0 Yikes! 10 point drop overnight... Guess that means I'm not done shocking. Bummer.

That's great news!

Waiting for the overnight test is testing my kids' patience, but we're in it for the long haul. I'll keep pouring in the bleach to keep the levels high until we get a positive result. Thanks for helping me with the process. It isn't anything I've heard of before in pool care to be honest. I'm...

Alright... Starting to see progress over this direction after 11 jars of bleach. :shock: FC - 15 CC - 0 :P Now, we wait until we pass an overnight test, right? The kids want to know how much longer this is going to take. :evil: I'm just glad to see the pool getting on the right path...

Ok... more questions. I am starting to shock the pool and have put in 96 ounces more bleach/chlorine than the pool computer recommended. I am assuming that I just keep dumping in bleach until I reach the FC level recommended. How many bottles of bleach do I need for this? I'm already at 5 in...

Alright, I've read everything and to be honest my head is spinning a little from all the information. Excited to see your methods and the simplicity of the program in action in my backyard. My 13K IG pool has been up and running now for 3 years and started to run into troubles early this swim...
