    BBB and Shocking

    I just started BBB for my Intex pool. Do I still need to "shock" or just keep up with the bleach when the chlorine levels drop? Not sure if it makes a big difference I usually have 8-12 swimmers in the pool daily.

    Yucky stuff in filter?

    I added CYO I put it in a knee high on the filer where it dumps water back in the pool. The knee high has gunk in it now. Is that because I need to change the filter? Can I leave the knee high there all the time tocollect any junk the poolk does cleaner today.
