Thanks for the friendly welcome. This is a really great site.

I have done some reading on the BBB method and am intrigued. I'll post my most recent numbers when I get home from work, but as of last check I've got my pool seemingly dialed in with current (albeit expensive) regimen. I'd certainly be interested in converting to a more cost-effective system, but don't want to mess anything up.

Can I transition into a modified BBB? I expect that the calcium hypochlorite will be the first thing that I'll run out of. If so, how much 6% bleach would I use to shock a 25,000 vinyl pool? Can I continue to shock with bleach but use my 3" pucks in the floater?

Thanks.

Jim
