Started BBB Yesterday

[apastuszak]

Went out and bought some 6% store brand bleach and was impressed that my chlorine levels were at 5 ppm in the morning, and were 2 PPM when I checked at night. I went and added more bleach tonight to get it to 5 PPM and went to the store to get some borax to get the pH up from 7.0 to 7.5.

The grocery store was completely out borax! The store manager told me he sells more borax between memorial day and labor day than any other time of year!

So, I'm off to WalMart tomorrow to get Borax.

Good luck, I had to wait until the local store restocked and then it took 4 trips.

I'm thinking of just hitting Sam's Club and buying big boxes of everything. I can see there are going to be a lot of bleach bottles to recycle this summer...

Walmart had exactly two boxes left. And they were on the bottom shelf in the back. That was something my arthritic hip just didn't like. But I got the stuff and got out.
