Hi everyone,
Hopefully someone can help me figure out my best course of action. While I don't have major issues, I am interested in the BBB and further info on what I should do.
I'm in Akron, Ohio and this is the first year we have had our pool. It is used almost daily by 3-4 people. I have the Nature2 system on the pool right now. I had a feeling it was a marketing gimick and based on what I have read am now sure it is.
I am shocking about once a week with 2 bags 73% shock. Water is clear for 5-6 days. Then gets a very slight haze to it. So I shock again. I plan to begin using 12.5% bleach once I use up the shock bags I bought.
I did not trust the test strips and got a Taylor test kit. I found my pH was very low, so I added 2 boxes of borax and my pH is now 7.4.
Here are the rest of my results:
pH = 7.4
FC = 1.5 (added shock last night)
CYA = 0
TA = 60
CH = 260
Is the BBB compatible with Nature2 or should I discontinue using the Nature2? What should I be doing to properly maintain this pool? Any help that can be provided is greatly appreciated. I have searched and read much of the pertinent topics and have an idea of what I need, but want to be sure.
Thanks in advance for any help! I hope I have provided all the needed info.
