    Default Re: New Here. Going to Salt???

    You COULD just go to an added salt pool and continue w/ BBB. The water feels better (opinion) and once you get BBB going well, your pool will reach a sort of equilibrium so that adjustments are usually minimal and you will have fewer problems keeping it balanced and sanitized. SWCG pools are not any cheaper to maintain, but may be slightly easier to keep balanced. If cost is a big factor, I would recommend sticking with regular BBB and just adding salt. You don't really need the nature2 to run a BBB pool and that is an expense you could leave off.

    10,000 gallon IG vinyl liner pool, BBB user, salt added to 2300 ppm (because it makes the water feel great!), new liner/new water on 6/23/11, algae-free since 2006 (at least that's as far back as I remember). 1HP Hayward 2-SPEED CONVERTED Superpump, Hayward sand filter, PS234 test kit.
    Goal: To remain completely algae-free for the life of this new liner!
    Life lesson: It is what it is.


    12'x24' oval 9K gal IG pool; bleach; Hayward 244T sand filter; Hayward Super pump, 1 HP, 2-speed pump; 24hrs on low speedhrs; PS234; utility water; summer: ; winter: ; android phone; PF:13
