I’ve read several post on the BBB method and I am eager to get started. Our pool is 30†AG. About 21,000 gallons. It’s been green for a couple weeks. I know I need a new good test kit, for now I checked it using strips and the readings are
8.4 = ph
.5 ppm = FC
120 ppm = TA
150 ppm = stabilizer (cya)
Yesterday we dumped in 1 ½ gallons of bleach.
4 days ago I had it checked at pool store and had these readings:
Saturation Index = .27
Total dissolved solids = 500
Free chlorine = 2.3
Total chlorine = 2.6
Combined chlorine = 0.3
Ph = 7.7
Cyanuric acid = 39
Copper = 0
Iron = 0
Total alkalinity = 106
Adjusted Total alkalinity = 106
Calcium hardness = 259
I’ve noticed no change since yesterday, if anything it’s greener. Please advice me where to go from here? Should I dump in more bleach, and if so how much? Also is it safe to swim in after bleach is poured in, if not when can if be used after adding bleach?
