Hello everyone. I've been using the BBB method for years with great success. The water was super clear and was proud of my parents pool. Problem is, I'm not taking care of the pool no more since Im not near my parents house no more. The pop ups went down and we resorted to just use the waterfall...

I had a fantastic last year using the BBB method for my pool. For some reason, this year has been a nightmare. My PH goes of the charts and I have to use MA to lower it all the time, and now, for some strange reason, we are having a very bad Monsoon season. My pool was going down 2-2.5 every day...

Last year I started the BBB method with great results. For some reason, this year, I can't keep the PH down. Its always around 8.0 and possibly higher since my tester stops to 8.0. I've been following the suggestions from the pool calculator on how much muriatic acid to add, but the PH still...

I have a friend with a Vinyl Pool with a fine dust in the bottom of the pool. There is a green tint and when you disturb the bottom of the pool, it clears up. I never dealt with vinyl pool, but is this algea ?

For the last few months, my pool has been beautiful as a result of using BBB. A few days a go, I ran out of bleach and had to skip a couple of days. Once I had the bleach in my hands again, I had the FC level at 9. I noticed backswimmers are slowly starting to come in again, maybe 1 or 2 at a...

Not sure where else to put this question. I have a pebbletec pool that that is pretty much covered by the pool deck above. There are parts, next to the waterfall where pebbletec is exposed to the AZ sun :(. I've heard rumors that its bad exposing pebbletec to the sun and may crack in 10 years...

I just want to thank you guys for all your help getting BBB method into my head. You made it very simple for me to understand and the pool looks Amazing. Hardest part was draining the pool. Here are my numbers as of now FC 5 CC 0 TA 90 CYA 70 PH 7.6 borate 50 CH 220 I'm a little disappointed...

I'm going insane here. I've followed directions to lower the TA of the pool. The PH has gone down, and my TA went from 110 to 90 the first round. Now I'm waiting for the PH to go back up to 7.6 and its taking forever. Is this normal ? Did I do something wrong. I went to get rid of using the...

I decided to finally figure out what is keeping my pop ups from going back down. Borrowed a removal tool and removed 5 pop ups. What I found freaked me out. Chunks of dark gray stuff came out. I ran the system and more of it came blasting out of the holes. They were very fragile and could break...

I have a Riviera Pool which is out of business here in AZ and found out I was never properly informed about cleaning cartridge filters when we purchased the pool. The pool guy told me to just use high pressure from your hose to clean out the filter which I have done once a month since we had the...

Not sure if this is the right place to post this. Last year I had my nephews over and one of them decided to push down on one of the pop ups. We managed to get the top portion of it out, but till this day, not sure if part of it is still in the pop up system pipes. We figured it should have came...

I finally purchased the taylor Chlorine FAS-DPD and tested my pool and typed in the results in the pool calculator. Here are my results. PH 7.8 FC 1 CC .5 TA 70 CH 350 CYA 70 also used the Lamatte borate test kit and the result is 50 ppm. I have no idea if its living in Phoenix AZ with this...

Been working on the pool getting ready for the hot weather here in Phoenix and my father told me that the water valve for the pop up system is leaking. Came by and noticed not 1 but 2 leaks spraying out of small pinholes. We just got this thing fixed last year cause of some ball issue. This pool...

I have a strange issue here. I have a pool that has been completed for a week. We were doing great for a few days then we noticed these brown beetle starting to show up. I thought they were dead bugs until I noticed they were diving and seem very happy with the new pool home :(. I scooped one...
