Basically it means peaceful easy feeling.
You know . . . that is actually the place we'd like to reach when we need to use POP.
POP now reminds me of my frantic thread on here in the middle of my solar install. Once I had the plumbing re-routed, but before I completed the rest of the loop to the panels I thought I should test everything to make sure the pool was in working order again. 24 hours later I realized that it wasn't a pump priming issue, but the handle on those 3-way valves opperate backwards from what I thought they would. All I had to do was turn the handle another 90°.
Yes, an acronym for Pool Owner Patience. A heavy dose required when trying to turn a black.brown swamp into a thing of beauty! 
WooHoo... I am pleased to say that I am now in the maintenance stage of BBB with my pool!!! It has been a long, drawn out process this year as I started out with a huge mess, filter problems, staining, O CYA (disappeared over winter), etc. When I say my pool started out as a black/brown mess, believe it... it was horrible!!! I only wish I had taken a photo of it then. My first post for help was May29th.

Now, after a LOT of work and the support I found here, I have a refreshing and healthy pool for my family! I just post this so that everyone out there can believe that BBB works! Nothing went into this pool except CYA, Bleach, Borax and Baking Soda. (Plus a little DE alternative to help out the new sand). I think very few people will start with what I started with, so that will make your process SO much easier than mine... don't give up!!!
I still have some tweaking to do, but I AM a happy pool owner!!!
