Hi,
We had a Doughboy installed in May. Up until now, I have just used the chlorine and chemicals our pool store advised. I keep our pool very clean, so do not have any issues (with the exception of dirt behind the stairs that I can never get out!).
However, I want to switch over to the Bleach, Borax and Baking Soda method, and now that we are not using the pool anymore, I thought this might be a good time to make the switch. I live in North California, so plan to not close our pool, since our winters are mild. So I was planning to run the circulation for an hour or two every day and skim the pool and just add chlorine (well, bleach) as needed.
Every time I start reading about the BBB method, it seems simple but then I get confused (or interrupted by my little ones).
I wonder if someone can give me a quick start on how I can initially make the switch. I have run out of chlorined, but have my BBB supplies. My pool is 5,600 gallons. When my chlorine gets low next, how much bleach should I start adding to pick up where I left off with the chlorine?
Thanks for any suggestions!
Jennifer
