I am new to the BBB method and have been studying hard to figure it all out. I am doing strip tests and bought a cheap kit from wal-mart. My problem is that I read great information on here about what my levels should be and then the bioguard test at the pool store has different ranges. And bioguard test shows different levels than my home kit. I did the pool store test just to see if it was close to my wal-mart kit. In the past we have used trichlor bioguard silk tabs in our chlorinator, burn-out extreme, and algaecide. This morning I put 1.5 gallons of 6% bleach in and then took this water to the pool store 6 hours later. 25,000 gallon inground pool, Hayward 1.5HP Super, 2 main drains, a skimmer and step jets.
My test results:
ph 7.8
tot. chl. 1.2
free chl.0.6
tot. alk. 118
Adj. Alk 79
Tot. hardness 232
CYA 130
My pool is cloudy and I have not been able to get a chlorine read for several weeks. :?
