Jason,
I grew up with a 24' round Doughboy so I am used to using normal Chlorine and Acid. I have been researching this BBB thing as I just put in a 40x16 AGP - Doughboy with a DE filter. I have been trying to figure out why I should go to the BBB method! It sounds like it is less expensive, and perhaps a more effective method when it comes to keeping algae out. Is this true? Then I read the rave reviews about PhosFree to kill algae (pricey!), then I read about Borates and 20 Mule Team! Ughh! I guess my main concern is to keep algae out as I now have a brand new vinyl liner! I can purchase normal bleach at Costco way cheaper than Chlorine I am sure but will need a TF100 test kit for sure if I switch. My pool has regular chlorine (shock-type) currently. Will it mix with bleach? How to winterize a 20,000 gallon pool!? I all just seems scary!
