    Default The definition of insanity

    Doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result. Every night I test the water ...FC 5.5 PH 7.6. Pour in 96 oz of bleach.

    Ahhh . . . but if you have a BBB pool you're not really expecting a different result, are you? 'Fess up: if your results were indeed different, you'd be surprised, wouldn't you?

    I'm thinking I'll just test every third day now that I've found the daily consumption average.

    Start with every other day

    Also, remember that chlorine demand depends on temp, use and the amount of 'crud' that enters the pool

    Having done construction and service for 4 pool companies in 4 states starting in 1988, what I know about pools could fill a couple of books - what I don't know could fill libraries

    Or you could really live dangerously, like so: I test pH, FC, CC daily but I only record it in the database when it's different from yesterday. Every now and then I add some rows and use autofill to complete the entries. The silly games people play . . .
