Hello,
I am new to this forum and a first time pool owner from South Hero, VT. I set up my pool a couple weeks ago and am trying to understand and use the BBB method. I have gone to pool school and need some help. I just added some stabilizer/conditioner that I purchased at Walmart last night. I was not able to keep any chlorine in the pool and was having to use a bottle of bleach every night. My husband actually poured the stabilizer in the skimmer and it started clogging the pump so he then just poured it around in the pool and white powder was on the pool floor everywhere. He used the whole canister. He then vacuumed this up until it was gone. I have also been using the floater with 3" chlorine pucks since we filled our pool a couple weeks ago. Should i keep using this? Also tried to do a CYA test and could still see the black dot on bottom of tube when full. What do i need to do next?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Test results this morning:
CL: 5
PH: 6.8
CH: 50
TA: 60
FC: 11.5
