Been getting my Chlorine from SAMs and it was the 182 oz bottles. Now they sell the concentrate bottles 121 oz I think, anyway is this been incorporated into the pool calculator or is there a way to calculate how much equals...... KNow what I mean. thanks

Need some help guys. I've been following the BBB method now on my third year and this is the first year I have a head scratcher. 24ft round pool. 13,600 gallons use Clorox and maintain 3-5 ppm each day my Stabalizer is at about 50-60 Ph is good Water is cristal clear. Problem. I continue to...

Well as you may remember I convered from Baqua last June/July, I have had nothing but success since, I spent probably $30.00 a month at the most for Clorox Bleach from the local Sams Club, my chems were right on all year. I closed the pool as I alway did but this time with Clorine instead of...

don't put it back in, do what your doing through tonight and see if there is a drop. I mean clean it but leave it out until your PPM holds. I left mine out after I cleaned it until all of numbers held.

Like I said, I'm not the expert, personally use pea stone inside my hand rails attached to the ladder, cleaned them real good prior to putting the ladder in, but my ladder is not a cake style its a step style that allows water to pass through. but removing the ladder and the weight will...

I'm willing to bet that your levels will flatten out now that you removed the ladder, I looked back through the thread and I could not see where you mentioned you had concreate holding the ladder down, that may be the problem right there, I don't know much about using concreat but maybe there is...

In my case I took Dave's advice and turned the pump off for 1 night to isolate the sand, and i still had the drop in PPM so we determined it was not the sand causing the drop. The clear tab holder which you may not have is a pot coming off the filter that you put these donute clear tabs in, the...

I just recently converted also and I had a similar problem, my levels did not drop as bad as yours but mine would not hold either, I was dropping 2 - 3 ppm during the night, things that I did that may help, maybe something you missed. - I replaced all my hoses, 3 six foot hoses from lowes $3.00...

I'm not a true expert by any means but the pink slime (water mold) is what drove me from baquacil to chlorine due to cost, I did manage to get rid of it while still on baquacil before I switched to chlorine using the conversion process listed here on this site.....thanks to all. some things I...

Re: Stubborn Algae problem I just finished my conversion a little more than a week ago, I'm not going to suggest that you drain your water there are other experts here that have more experience than me but my numbers: Baqua Sanitizer – 18 Alkalinity – 70 PH Level – 7.6 Calcium – 190...

7.7 seems to be fine for us also, but I just want to keep an eye on it as my TA is at the upper end of where it should be and I will be adding fill water, so my thought was to get it down some so that I had a nice buffer. I guess I will just watch it and make sure it stays stable.

My Alkalinity is between 130 and 140 and my PH is 7.7, I want to lower my alkalinity. I am adding 65 oz of MA to get me down to 7.0 - 7.2. My question is how long do I wait before I turn my waterfall on to airate the pool to bring the PH back up? How long do you recommned airating the pool to...

Hey all, I'm a recent converter from Baqua so although I know those chems like the back of my hand I am in the process of really learning all the ins and outs of chems for chlorine pools. Got a question about CYA. I did a test and i have my CYA at around 40 which was my goal, I understand...

What about 2 speed pumps, what is the recommendation for that? I usually run mine on the high setting but would like to run it on low if possible.

Dave, Thanks, yes I will continue to hang around, I continue to learn something new when I visit.

Well its been a couple days, yesterday was day 1 of swimming Since I was riding around on my motorcycle on Sunday. Did my test yesterday and the FC was at 4.5 ppm so of course topped it off with 28oz of bleach to get it to 5ppm. CC=.5 which is fantastic. I also started testing for the other...

ALLLLLLL ridey then. Cool thank you. I will say that so far I have been very happy with the results and that becuase of you folks things have been extremely easier and easier to understand. Although not finished and not finished posting, I wanted to thank you all. Dennis

Ok, tiny bit confused, you and Dave are saying to adjust FC accordingly, but I thought that after adding the stabalizer to get the CYA up I needed to leave the FC at 15 until the CC=.5 or less then let the FC drop according to the chart

WooHoo, yeah baby...... Topped it off yesterday at abouy 1830 to get it back up to 15ppm and it stayed up there when I tested again at 2230 and this morning only a loss of 1ppm.......if that. And my CC = 1 so it came down to a relitivally good number. So we are good to go, when I get home...

Yeah I kind of figured that will screw it up, if it rains tonight I'm going to run around the pool with a cup and catch them before they hit the water.

Well measured when I got home yesterday and of course my FC was 0 ppm due to all the sun, but it did become overcast so I cleaned around the skimmer plate and return, swept the bottom of the pool again. got the FC up to 15, it started raining as expected. I measured last night at about 2230...

I guess I have to agree I am anxious to get it done, I guess on a positive note at least its holding most of the bleach/chlorine after I get it up to 15 through the morning. I'll keep at it.

Roger that Jason - I will continue to pound away.

Thanks Dave, I'm wondering if it is Mustard Algae that I am fighting, when I started this I really never had a cloudy pool, as from the first pictures you can see the brown/green stuff on the bottom of the pool pretty bad, now I have pretty much converted and am at the end but still having spots...

Well, I am scratching my head. put in about 2.5 bottles at 630pm yesterday and checked every hour it maintained 16ppm or 17 ppm until 2300 last night when I did my last reading, I shut the pump off. This morning at 0630am I did 2 test to make sure and both were at 12 ppm, different areas of...

Sounds like a plan to me. Currently liquid glass that is not ready to swim in LOL. http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c265/ ... G_3881.jpg And a picture just for fun http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c265/ ... G_3882.jpg

Replaced my skimmer line, removed the baquacil tab holder that is used to for clarifying tabs or whatever you call them, never used them. Vola, water mold........don't know if its dead or living from earlier this year oh well bucket of bleach and water (gonna be dead in a minute. HA), scrubbed...

Disappointment!!!! Went to bed last night at 2300 and my FC was 14.5 ppm, woke this morning and tested at about 0630 and my FC was at 11.5 ppm. Drop of 3 ppm, dag nab it. I had those stupid algea spots again on the bottom of the pool so after I added chlorine I did a quick sweep down to...

Nope same brand, same cases, don't know? odd. 2230 - FC was 14.5 ppm. for a loss of .5 ppm. Added 15 oz to get the FC up to 15ppm. CC = 3 Gonna do a measurement at 2300 without adding and see what it will be in the morning, fingures crossed.

Well weird stuff happening again at about 2000 - I measured FC was 20 ppm. for a gain of 5 ppm. Added nothing to get the FC up to 15ppm. CC = 3 Im thinking wow, I only added 28 oz last time to get it to 15 how in the heck did it get to 20 so I tested it again at 2030 and got a reading of FC...
