I'm having an interesting electrical problem and would like some guidance on where to look next. I have a gfci that is tied to several things. - pool light - spa light - grill outlet - other outdoor plugs installed by pool company Items I added to this same circuit. - outdoor led lights -...

For my last few bleach runs I have used Walmart's online pickup. You order online and schedule a pickup time. Show up and they load the bleach for you. The great value 8.25% is only $2.94 for 121 oz bottle. If you haven't tried it here is a link to get started. Walmart Grocery - Online...

So most of the summer I have been fighting with keeping my chlorine levels in check. I was always having low numbers so I added additional time to my Stenner pump. It got to the point where I was running the pump 8 hours a day. (I have the 3 gallon per day model). So yes a gallon of bleach a...

Finally decided to go the Stenner pump route, the pump has arrived. When I was looking for a bucket I figured 5 gallons would be plenty and I wanted to know if anyone is using a lowes or Home Depot 5 gallon bucket with lid to hold the chlorine. It seems like most are using larger size blue...

I have a drain cover mounted to the sidewall just below both skimmer baskets. It doesn't appear to be connected to the skimmer unless its done below the skimmer housing. I see other pools don't have this. Any idea what this is for? Thanks

Since doing the bbb method I have only gone to Leslie's for DE or pucks for when I'm out of town. When I go I always bring a sample of water just to see their numbers. They have always been inline with my readings. My neighbors pool is not the same. I started helping with their pool around...

Well the local Costco changed the bleach to a higher concentration, provided less volume and raised the price. You would think with less weight and packaging the price should have dropped. Old price $8.99 3 pack / 182oz - 6% New price $9.38 3 pack / 121oz - 8.25% The box makes a claim that...

New pool over and I can tell I will be going through quite a few bleach jugs. Any interesting or creative uses for them?

First big thanks to all. I have been using the BBB method for 3 months and the water looks great. I'm almost to a point where I could add chemicals without even taking measurements just by looking at the pool and knowing what I added last. I always try to guess before testing. I do have a...

I have a new pool just finished in December. Shortly after getting things going I noticed calcium starting to build up around the natural stone wall in the back on the pool. There was both calcium in the mortar between the stones as well as building up on the waterline tile. See the red...

Here are the results of my 1st test with my TF-100 kit. (The speedstir is awesome) 8-) FC - 2.5 CC - 0 TC - 2.5 PH - 7.5 T/A - 130 CH - 160 CYA - 50 based on the pool calculator aside from adding some bleach it looks like the only concern here is the CH. How quickly should I address this...

Where are you BBBers finding calcium chloride dihydrate in North Dallas? I tried the search function here and a local lowes but no luck. Thanks

1st off I'm glad I found this site. It’s been very helpful so far. I am going to move to the BBB method and ordered my TF-100 kit yesterday, I even got the SpeedStir (ill be like a kid on Christmas when my kit arrives). Anyway back to my question... My pool was finished in November 2011...
