Is this Correct ?

I believe to do the bbb method you would stop using the tablets once you ran out. THen you just use bleach for sanitizing and shock. When your stabalizer runs low then you need to purchase it and add to the pool.

Stabilizer levels will NOT go down unless you remove water and replace it or unless the CYA is biodegraded by anerobic bacteria in a closed pool.

The BBB method is just using sodiium hypochlorite(non stabilized chlorine) for both sanitizer and shock, adding the proper amount of stabilzier to stabilizer the chlorine. and balancing your water with the usual chemicals (but purchased from possibly unusual sources at a lower price) with the exception of using borax for raising pH since it has minimal effect on TA while soda ash RAISES TA while it raises pH. Nothing new or radical about it at all....just good pool chemistry with minimal problems. As far as borax goes...it is the new 'wonder chemical' in some pool stores under names like Proteam Supreme and Biolab Optimizer where it is being used for algae prevention and pH control and stability.
