and came back with 8ppm FC and crystal clear water!

with my CYA around 110-120 i loose about 2-3ppm FC in a 24 hour period ( this is in central FL with full sun exposure on the pool all day ) so i dosed up to around 30ppm FC the morning we left assuming i would be at or near 0ppm FC when i came home.

i also put one trichlor puck in a floater and adjusted the floater to its lowest setting to help keep a little FC in while we were away.

to my suprise i came home to 8ppm FC and 0 CC.

since i switched to BBB the ONLY thing i add to my pool now is walmart bleach and a little borax every now and then. now i only spend a few minutes every few days just to test FC and adjust back up to around 15-16ppm. im spending around 15.00 per month on my pool and have crystal clear and balanced water!

PH and ALK stay stable at 7.4 and 110-120 and im only testing them once a week.... the pool ALMOST takes care of itself! LOL!

thanks poolforum!
