Monday my cover was removed and water crystal clear. Pool was filled in November and solid cover was put on it. The filter was installed and is now running. So I told the pool builder tech that I bought some chlorine pucks and a chlorine floater so I can get the CYA up and then I told him I will be using the BBB method that I learned here.
He then told me that I should not use the floater because the pucks will stain the liner. He then said if I am going to use the pucks to only put them in the skimmer. So from what I have learned here that you should never put pucks in skimmer because when the filter is off the chlorine still dissolves and you get a rush of chlorine in the filter and heater. My first question is, will putting in a floater (until I start using liquid) stain the liner ?
I mentioned using bleach. He then said that Clorox bleach is to harsh to use. He said that they use only lithium based chlorine which is the only chlorine that I should use in order to not stain the liner. My second question is what is lithium based chlorine ?
My third question. I am afraid to stain the liner. How can I prevent that ? When I pour in bleach or liquid chlorine can it stain the liner ?
He also said that once a week I should throw some shock in. They still have to give me orientation so I am curious what other false info to expect.
thank you
