Re: BBB and vacation Yes, I run my pump 24/7 while on vacation. Good Luck

Getting ready to open my pool, once the rain stops and trying to plan ahead for vacation. This will be my first vacation since I started BBB. Since bleach has to be added daily, how do most of you chlorinate your pool while on vacation? Can you use Tri-Chlor pucks and bleach? If so, would pucks...

Mustard Algae Hi! Ive got a few questions concerning mustard algae. I had this problem last year and Im wondering if its back. I have vacuumed my pool twice today. We just got back from vacation and I had a lot of dirt/ red mud dust in bottom of pool. I vacuumed and a couple hours later it was...

So answers to your questions. No there were no swimmers in the pool and no cover over it.

Yes, cc is at 1. But that is not an accurate judgment. Because I started out using the Sustain Pool Chemicals. The first thing you do is add a summer shield to the water. This affects your cc reading. Because your summer shield reading is = to your CC.

Thanks for the replies! Yes, I am maintaining a low chlorine loss over night. Which from what Ive read is a good sign that it is not algae but the sun. So I've got two different responses. I had planned to raise my CYA to around 50 once I completed the shock process. But I don't want to raise...

My pool is sloped deeper to about 5 ft. in the center and has 52" side walls. So, it may not be quit 20000 but should be close. Is there a need to be concerned about high level. Just did my OTO test and chlorine is a dark orange.

Ok- so i received my T100 kit this afternoon. I tested the water around 5:30pm. Here are the results: FC- 1 CC - 1 CYA- 34- maybe (closer to 30 than 40) So I wanted to shock my pool at mustard algae level bc Iv had a problem with that. I was aiming for around 21ppm FC. I used the calculator...

Thanks for responding! My pool is in direct sunlight! And I live in the upstate of South Carolina. I am looking a purchasing a test kit. I have tested for cc but the result would not be accurate bc with the sustain system you add a liquid sun shield. And the Sun shield effects the cc reading...

I have a 27ft above ground pool with a vinyl liner. I am using a system called Sustain which is a calcium hyplchlorite based which i am having to supplement bleach to maintain a fc level. When i opened my pool about 2 weeks ago, i noticed some mustard algae in the bottom. So I purchased a yello...
