    Hey PoolDoc,

    These are my numbers from 5-28-12:
    Chlorine-5+(med. yellow)
    Ph-7.5
    Alkalinity-180
    CYA-0(couldn't get a reading, so I am saying 0) I added alittle less than a pound of stabilizer to get this up.
    I just started using the BBB method last year and had good success with it. I am looking forward to having better looking water than last year(it was sparkling!!).

    Calcium hardness level?

    Also, please test alkalinity and calcium levels in whatever water you fill the pool with . . .
