Yes, I believe I will first of all put the borates into my pool. (After reading up on it in the pool school I figured out how much I would need to add - as there are other benefits also - so even if that doesn't help w/ the wasp issue I will still have the other added benefits.) Also, I will...

It would be worth a try! I know I'm being lazy - cuz I could figure it out myself - but for all of the Math whizzes out there - How much of the borates would I need to add to a 22,000 gallon pool to make it 50ppm?

Ok, not sure in which category this topic goes.....but here goes. It has been 100+ degrees here in OKlahoma the past few days....and the wasps (of all kinds) are definitely thirsty! They land on the pool.....(they must have pontoons on their feet) .....they get a drink and then fly away...

First let me start by saying I switched to the BBB method last year (after being a Pristine Blue user - which seemed to stop working for me) and my pool has never been cleaner, clearer, and/or more sparkly. Plus, testing & adjusting daily is so easy! Now, to my question. I have some friends...

Just curious as to why it is best to add chlorine & muriatic acid slowly? Switched over to BBB at end of June.....purchased my test kit........pool is sparkling clean & smells so fresh.......even with the continuous 100+ degree days we have been having here in Oklahoma!

I seem to have some algae stains on a few areas of my pool? Now that I have switched over to the "trouble free pools" way.......will those go away w/ time or is there something I can do to get rid of them? I have recently switched over to TFP from using Pristine Blue. We have used Pristine...
