Hello to all!!! I've been lurking for a while and have decided to take the plunge into the BBB method. I ordered a TF100 kit today, but in the meantime I went to my former money pit poolstore for a water analysis until my kit arrives. I've entered the numbers in the Pool Calculater but that's where my questions start, for now :-D.
My numbers:
TC 0
FC 0
PH 8.5
TA 156
Cal 144
CYA 100
They suggested I shock and add Lo 'N Slo but I'd rather start BBB now. Here's a few questions for now.
According to the pool calculator...
1. Should I raise chlorine levels to suggested or shock level?
2. Should I drain 60% of my pool water first and refill, per CYA column, and then add bleach and acid to lower ph?
Thanks for any help,
Jim
