Re: Looking for people who have used the BBB system for arti I'm in your neck of the woods Dave and have been happily using the BBB method for three years. Holler if you need my help and thanks for the super fast delivery of my test kit refill chemicals. :wave:

:goodjob: Since finding this site a couple years ago....owning a pool has never been so easy......and enjoyable! Enjoy your summer!

I absolutely ove this site, love the members, LOVE THE BBB METHOD! While I remove my cover to crystal clear water every year, my relatives and friends pull back their covers to reveal a swamp! Maybe they'll catch on pretty soon! :cheers:

Yes I used the evaporator last year, and don't recall having this issue with having to lower TA and PH. I'm on a well, so I don't add water often I let Mother Nature do it for me, but it's been blistering hot here this week with little rain, so I'll probably be sticking the hose in there soon...

Couldn't tell you what my calcium is, I have a vinyl pool and have never checked it, CYA is at 40 and water temp is 83. It generally goes up 6 degrees a day, but the evaporator usually brings it down 6 degrees overnight. that's good to know!!! never had this problem last year, I think I...

Hello everyone, I tried a search for the answer, but no such luck. So, I'm hoping someone knows the answer. Since using the BBB method, my water sparkles, so no issues there. I try to keep my PH around 7.4 and ALK at 100-110, I've had no issues doing either, and I know that agitating the...

Good times, if only I had children I could pass this skill on to! 13 down 3,000 to go! :whoot:

Trial and error....but so far the frog hunting is going well.....still working on my technique!!!! I removed about a dozen from the pool in less than 5 minutes once it got dark, but in the process of transferring the little devils from the catching to the containing apparatus, combined with the...

Please help me! Every time we have a thunderstorm, which seems like every other day. My property erupts with the gleeful chirpings of tree frogs, announcing their upcoming orgy in my pool! I'm getting tired of awakening to a ga-zillion little tree frog eggs floating around in there and the...

Conducting it poolside, in varying daylight. Sometimes it's sunny outside, sometimes it's not! =/

AH HA!!! I know it's a subjective test, but all last year it always tested within 5ppm. I'll keep an eye on it the next few days, and hopefully I'll get it dialed in again. Thanks for clearing that up for me and your help, have a wonderful week!

Thanks JL....is it normal for my CYA to drop 20ppm in 24 hours,? I understand that it can fluctuate the first week, so should I just be more worried about monitoring my PH, and TC? I don't check my CH, because I'm under the impression it's just not that important with a vinyl liner. I guess...

Ok, I finally got the pool bottom done, new liner in, and filled a couple days ago. The water had a greenish hue to it straight off the truck. No worries, went straight into getting water balanced using the BBB method, here's the results from day one to today. Wondering what's going on with...

Very nice.....thanks for sharing!

Ok folks, hope all of you are well. Here's my question.....after installing the pool last year with a sand bottom and not being happy with it, just had a vermiculite bottom installed today. I am wondering if I can reuse, or should I reuse my Gorilla Pad I used on my sand bottom? Will it hold...
