Thanks for the advice. I just completed a slam and now adjusting CYA level to 50 for better protection with the chlorine. I do have one more question about algecide. Is it ok to put maintenance doses of algaecide in with the bleach or should I rely on bleach only? Thanks for all the help

This is our second year as a BBB believer. Before that is was Baquacil for 4 years, BLAH. Last year being our first year doing BBB we had a large maple tree in the backyard that only let sunlight to the pool from morning to about 2 p.m. This spring we removed the tree and now we have sun on...

This a article says to wait until the pool water gets down to 60 degrees before closing it. Why? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What is the procedure for closing the pool using the BBB method? This is my first year using the BBB method, what a great summer, so I'm new to closing this way. Also since using the BBB method I don't want to clean out my filter's sand. I'd rather reuse it next summer. So..... do I just drain...

Just a quick update. All is going well with the BBB method. Just now getting into the hotter part of summer and the water temp is in the range of 80-84 using the solar cover. My sinus problems have disappeared which means I can enjoy the pool again. The BBB method is pretty simple and easy to...

Good luck with your conversion. I learned through my conversion that you must have patience with each step. I was adding 1jug of bleach each hour sunrise to sunset for the first two days. With a 8600 gallon pool I used about 75 128oz jugs of 6% bleach. Also after your water clears up you still...

Nothing

I figure I will use about 3 128 oz. jugs a week at $3.15 a jug for 18 weeks,mid May to mid September, will be around $230. Then add $20 for borax gets me up to $250 for the season. I'm thinking that when I get the CYA leveled out it may be less bleach. Of course this is baring no problems. This...

Right now I'm putting about a third of a jug in each day and adjusting the cya. It's been raining and messing up my levels. I do like the BBB. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I took my first swim in the newly converted pool this weekend. As I described earlier when I'd swim in the baquacil it would clog up my sinuses and would be painful. Now with the BBB method I can once again enjoy my pool. This is the best thing I could have done to once again be able to enjoy...

I want to thank everyone that helped me through this conversion. It was so easy with your help. You guys had very good information and guidance. This is a great website for help. As long as I have a pool I will always be a member. I hope that someday I can help others the way I was...

I have just finished my conversion from Baquacil to BBB. :D I see there are many people that have done this already. I am currently in my week of waiting to check my CYA level so I can balance everything out. I'm curious to see how much bleach people are putting in their pools as a...

We had a lot of rain yesterday and more to come in the next few days here in saint Louis. Saturday I put in the stabilizer and waiting one week to test. If I need to drain off water due to rain will that affect my CYA? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
