    I have been researching the BBB method and I am unsure of one thing, does the bleach replace the chlorine tabs or is it used along with the tabs? I think it replaces the tabs but want to be sure. Also I was price checking the BBB products vs. There pool store counter parts and found that typically a 4 lb. Box of baking soda was more ($17) than a 5 lb. Bucket of alkalinity up ($13). but kept searching and found a 12 lb. Bag of baking soda for ($7). Where is a good place to shop for these products? I was using amazon

    Ben already answered this part of your question in your other thread.

    You can buy a big bag (maybe 10 or 12 lbs?) cheap at Sam's Club.

    Other thread? I was unaware I had another thread. Weird. This is the only thread that I'm aware of that I created. Trying to search now for my other thread, only prob. Is I don't know where it is or the title. I wasn't sure my question went through, I came back here a few times and no one answered, so I asked again. Sorry for confusion will continue to try to find this other thread you speak of. If you would be so kind as to point me in the right direction to find the thread I would appreciate it. Thanks Watermom

    Yo, LowDown. Got the straight dope, on the down low. A grocery store has the 64oz A&H for $2.79 here on the right coast. Check a left coast grocery. Yo.
