    Can't get the cloudy out

    It's getting better more and more everyday. I think I just need to be patient. I did the overnight test and it only went down 1ppm.

    Can't get the cloudy out

    Hello everyone. I've been using the BBB method for years with great success. The water was super clear and was proud of my parents pool. Problem is, I'm not taking care of the pool no more since Im not near my parents house no more. The pop ups went down and we resorted to just use the waterfall...

    Backswimmers, Argh. Oh, and Hi!

    Welcome, I used to get backswimmers all the time, until I started the BBB method. I noticed you are doing BBB too, but really had to keep on top of the pool everyday to keep them out. I noticed if I keep my PH around 7.6 and FC levels around 9-10 I never have a problem. The minute I let the FC...

    4ppm FC Loss after heavy rain

    You guys answered my question. I usually lose 2.5 ppm a day, but suddenly been losing 4 then it went back to 2.5 now at 4 again. We are having a very hot and rainy Monsoon season this year, Guess I have to deal with it.

    Good ole Monsoon

    I have the tf100 and for some reason can't find the CC (r-0003). I plan on going to our local leslie pool which sells the product by bottle.

    Good ole Monsoon

    I had a fantastic last year using the BBB method for my pool. For some reason, this year has been a nightmare. My PH goes of the charts and I have to use MA to lower it all the time, and now, for some strange reason, we are having a very bad Monsoon season. My pool was going down 2-2.5 every day...

    Can't keep PH down

    Thank you for all of your replies. CC is back up at 8.0. Had it at 3.0 cause I read somewhere reading PH at a high CC level is not accurate. I do have a waterfall that is on when we swim, I guess I have to add MA all the time. As for TA, I could be wrong, but thought I had to keep it from 70-90...

    Can't keep PH down

    Last year I started the BBB method with great results. For some reason, this year, I can't keep the PH down. Its always around 8.0 and possibly higher since my tester stops to 8.0. I've been following the suggestions from the pool calculator on how much muriatic acid to add, but the PH still...

    Help With Vinyl Pool

    I have a friend with a Vinyl Pool with a fine dust in the bottom of the pool. There is a green tint and when you disturb the bottom of the pool, it clears up. I never dealt with vinyl pool, but is this algea ?
