Hi all, Thanks to you fine people, we are BBB users now - started this year. I buy little plastic bubbles of 9.6% sodium hypoclorite at the supermarket for 40 cents, and we use only one a day in season. When I went to buy more test strips, the pool store people said they thought we had moved...

We need a visual screen for our neighbors, but I don't want to cause trouble with there pool. They have a nice pretty suburban house, whilst ours is rather more rustic, with firewood logs getting cut up, tractors, etc. :blah: Their pool is about 9m (60') from the fenceline where I'll plant...

Hello friends, Romans, and countrymen. We used bromine pucks for years, but are now switching to BBB (via a few other threads - search if your interested). Years passed, I would just load up a few floaters in late Fall with $50 of bromine pucks, then double cover the pool. In the late Spring...

After 5 years of getting pool-stored and using bromine pucks, I'm slowly switching to chlorine. But now the garage where I stored a bucket of pucks has a strong chlorine smell. I remember seeing the damage done by chlorine gas to a metal shed under the community pool. The steel was eaten away...

Hi american friends and other worldly too, Well here I did get some very usefull advise about those nosty expensive bromine pucks as you call them. You guys told me that I can use chlorine pucks instead, so I bought some the other day. They cost only 30% as much as the turdly bromine pucks! And...

Well hello my friends, we have 4 pool stores near here in France. 1) Discount pool store, the girl has pretty eyes but doesnot know pool from a pipe. That is french joke. The manager allways have no time to help any body. 2) Nice couple started local store, she put her brain on spin cycle some...

I only have that expensive little cheezy one :roll: with batteries. The TFP kit is a world better, non? But can I buy it in France?

Howdy folks, I had a nasty green surprise last spring, so I bought a few more floaters for overwintering. Just opened the pool today - nice clear water! Free available Cl is waaay high at 8ppm, but my bromine tabs are almost all used up. So this seems like about right for next winter too. Just...

Well I try this again, already some touching NJ pool guy say I offend him by asking, so please do not be offend by my question! OK? Not offensive intended! I have a pretty big AG pool with sand filter and big pump (see my sig) and a big espensive BROMINATOR. Ok well maybe somebody sold me a...

Hello fellow homo sapiens pool owners, and welcome to me! I live in France and have a pool. Pools used to be subject to a luxury tax here, but that was relaxed in the last 10 years, so a lot of regular middle class folks are getting pools these days. We are not allowed to have big pools like...
