I just wanted to thank TFP for opening my eyes to the BBB method. This was our third summer with a pool, and last year just about made me decide to take it out and put in a garden. I think I spent more time at the pool store than in the pool. Then I found this site and decided to give it a try. Now, I will say that I had an unfair advantage to start, since we had to replace the liner and hence had nice clean water from the get-go, but I had no idea BBB would be so easy and care-free! I think I spent about $50 at the pool store on stabilizer and Dry Acid, and about $100 at Aldi for bleach and baking soda. That's about $300 less than last year! And I didn't have to dissolve any chemicals in a bucket I never even thought to take a picture of the pristine water, but here's one of the kids enjoying it![attachment=0:211nwgeu]Pool-play.jpg[/attachment:211nwgeu]
