HI EVERYONE as you just read I'm a new pool owner. We bought our home because we needed property, well the property included a pool which my husband and I didn't want with having little ones but we just couldn't pass up the acreage. Well I was pretty excited till my husband's job took a plummet. So we are barely staying a float and now we have a swamp in the backyard. I set up a TFP account. That was first on the list. I just measured our "kidneyish" inground plaster pool and it was 15ft wide by 30 feet long. 3ft at the shallow end and 9ft at the deep end. It also has a spa that is 8 ft round attached to it. And 3 feet deep in the center. I will get the water tested tomorrow at the local pool place. I want to use the BBB method. I know nothing about the pump just what the sticker tells me. Its a Pentair clean and Clear plus. Judging by the picture the guy at the pool store thinks it's a 420. HMMM....that's about as far as I have gotten any suggestions at this point on how to keep going????? Thanks in advance guys. I'm pretty sure this could be the death of me :/
