I am sure this question has been answered 1k times over.
I just bought a house back in October that had a above ground pool. I sort of know how to take care of the pool. My parents used to have a above ground pool.
The pool is a 12x18 pool with a Hayward DE filter.
I opened the pool a week or so ago and have the water Crystal Clear. the PH is just about right might be a tad high but it is around 7.8
I have a few tablets the old homeowner left so i been using them for now.
I remember when my parents had a pool they always complained about the cost of Chemicals. Basic Chem tells me that Chlorine is bleach but pool shock or liquid Chlorine has more strength to it.
I started doing some basic web searching and found this BBB method.
I just so not know how to start it or what i need to do.
Like how much Liquid bleach do i need to keep the water at 2ppm how much Baking soda or borax to get other levels right.

Currently the only test kit i have is some DYE kit. Red PH and yellow Chlorine test. I can get those numbers right according to the color chart with what i have. However once i run through the costly pool store stuff i would like to try BBB.

Please assist.
