I absolutely LOVE it. I also love when friends with "green" or "cloudy" pools ask what my secret is I simply say Bleach, but also my BIGGEST secret is TFP :) I actually helped a friend get an account on here and showed them the pool school and calculator and how to go through the threads and post and man that felt good lol.. So here's to you TFP :cheers: Just look at my beautiful pool :) I will never and I mean NEVER go to a pool store for anything :party: Happy Friday everyone :)

Wow! :whoot: Give credit to yourself for learning and understanding how to manage your own pool rather than depending on the pool store. :goodjob:

I am proud of myself on that part, but to be honest I would not have the pool look like this if I was not lucky enough to find this site... It is a true dream site for ALL pool owners :)
 
I LOVE my BBB water too. Maybe you can help me with my question. The kids are dying to swim and the water is so tempting. I added the borates and Muriatic acid as directed about 24 hours ago.

How long do we have to wait to swim, after adding the Borax and Muriatic Acid? The water is beautiful! I did check the PH and TA even though it has only been about 12 hours since I added it. They are both extremely high. Will this come down in the next couple of days? I it safe to swim with it like this?

Go ahead and add enough acid to get your pH into the 7's, wait 30 minutes, and go swimming.

Isn't it awesome when you get compliments on how your water looks? I love it!!

People ask my husband how he does it, and he responds by pointing at me and saying to "ask her, she takes care of it". Most assume he is the one doing it, but nope. He was unsure about my using BBB because he always thought you just went to the pool store and got your water tested. Good thing I did my research! He's a believer now :)

Love this! My kids are the same way. TFP and BBB have created a bunch of mini pool snobs!

lmmfao YES, Yes they have hehe
 
Oh, no! Bad enough when we create Pool Snobs around here, but "mini Pool Snobs"?

"Granpa, why is your water so yucky but Mommy's (the in-law) is so nice?"

I see some family togetherness issues for us BBB'rs.
