    What am I doing wrong ....FC dropping

    I think it's almost 9 for 3 gallons of bleach. At this rate I may need to go buy a pallet. I will keep at it, I was just beginning to wonder if that's a myth that you drop less than 1 ppm a night.

    What am I doing wrong ....FC dropping

    I have been going through the shock process all week because I have been using so much chlorine. I'm now on day 4 and I lost 4ppm last night. I started the night with FC of 23 and now I'm 18. My CC has never been anything but 0 and my pool has been crystal clear ever since I started the BBB...

    I Already have my kit I used it this morning. I've been looking at pool school all day learning. I'm going to buy bleach tomorrow. I may not need it for a while since my fc is 16. I'm started to wish I'd put in a salt water system. Every pool company talked me out of it because it was so...

    New pool problems

    New pool problems

    I just installed an inground pool last summer. The pool was finished in June but the decking took until sept to finish. I have a liner pool with a cartridge filter. They installed the frog system but the more I'm reading on that I'm thinking of not using it. The chemicals are VERY expensive...
