Hi. We just got our Intex 12x30 metal frame pool. We started using HTH pool products. A friend suggested this site and I was wondering if I can switch to using the household products that you all suggest. What, if we are able to do so, would be the procedure. From what I read, I gather bleach (6%) takes the place of chlorinating granules, baking soda takes the place of TA increaser, and borax takes the place of ph plus. I am in need of a routine. I need to purchase the testing tubes. I this time I only have the 3 way strips. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much.
