Oh my God... Scented bleach?? Tell me you're joking... Surely you kid.. Quick, suck it out... Seriously, I don't know. But surely it isn't a big deal.

No, no, no... I'm just a fan. fanatic to be more precise.

Hey guys, is that CC 0.5 telling us that there is still a need to continue shocking? Or are we going by the fact that it is still cloudy? Or is it a combination of the two?

This is me I still don't have a pool... but you all feel like family already. This is me, my Mom, & my little bro. This is at the Houston Texans 2006 Draft Party.

What are your latest readings?

What exactly do you mean by mess?? Is the water murky or something??

Oh yeah... other than the green thing... nice pool dude.

I'm just a noob here, haven't even got my pool yet. But is 80 really that big of a deal? Like I said, I'm new here, but I would think he should be able to dump two gallons of bleach (6%) and get his shock up to 15 or 16, and try to hold that for 24 hours. goes to show you what I know. I just...

Man that is going to be one nice pool. What are the dimensions?

I don't doubt that at all. Thanks.

So you put your cover on daily? when the pool is not in use? Is it an automatic cover, or do you have to roll it out every day?

I've never owned/cared for a pool. Just trying to get a little more understanding. I understand the math involved in the FC/CYA ratio chart. But has anyone ever experimented with reducing the FC at a constant CYA to find the break over point of when CCs will start to form? For instance...

Makes sense, thanks. So I'm back to no ozonator.

But for all you BBBers... where are you? how often are you adding chlorine during the hottest part of the summer? once a day? twice a week? 3 times a week? & what do you do when you go on vacation?

I mean absolutely, positively no disrespect, & I hate to sound like I'm beating a dead horse (though I may very well be) but would an ozonator be useful in this situation?

ntshclr, don't give up man. You're sooooooo close.

Good answer, thanks. My pool design does include a spa, is it necessary? Or can I maintain my spa without it? will I end up using more chlorine?

Will the saltwater kill my grass?

Has anyone ever done any other testing to prove our water is clean and safe, sanitized? can I take my pool water somewhere to have it tested for ecoli? not that I have a pool now, but in the future.

I appreciate your reply, but still not understanding why the ozone systems provide benefits for spa's (small systems) and commercial pools (large systems) but absolutely positively no measurable benefit for a 25K-55K gal in-ground swimming pool. another thing, the quoted material made it clear...

The pool builder I'm leaning towards is also very high on installing an ozonator. His sales pitch is a lot like what is said on This site: To me, the theory is good, the logic is sound. The question, is it the water passing the UV that causes the oxidation, or is Ozone being distributed...

I know five people with SWCGs. Only one guy has complained about his pool not being maintenance free, and so far, we believe his issues are because of some impurity in his well water, which is what he used to fill his pool. One of the five guys converted his manual pool to a SWCG, and claims his...
