I have repeatedly read all that I could about the BBB method and we are using it on the new pool we just bought. I am confused about many things and my husband and I are getting frustrated and don't know if this is the right method for us?I have several questions that I hope you can help me with. Since I have a vinyl pool, do I need to use calcium chloride?
Also, I am putting in 3 quarts of bleach a day but it is getting eaten up: here are the numbers for today (I use the test kit suggested here)
FC 0
CC 0
TC 0
ph 2
cya- not measurable with the kit---we are being really careful with adding cyanuric acid so have only added 2 lbs thus far- should I add more? or wait the 1 week?
CH 50
The water is very cloudy with maybe a teensy weensy touch of green.
I've put all the numbers into the pool calculator but don't know about the calcium chloride or the borax- do I add that or not?
For some reason I bought sodium hydrogen carbonate. Do I even need this?
Thank you so much for any help,
Claudia
