when do you add stabilizers?

Thanks for the quick reply. Sitting on the deck and enjoying a cup of coffee and planning the next course of action for my pool. This is my first year maintaining our pool and I've been reading a lot of posts here and want to follow the BBB method.

The B-B-B method isn't hard and all it really does is strip the mystery away from pool maintenance, as well as useless and troublesome expensive additives that cause more harm. The Bs are Bleach, Borax and Baking Soda, but you also need CYA, and either muriatic acid or dry acid to maintain your pool. With proper testing and dilligence, you shouldn't ever need anything else (unless your fill water has high metal content, but that is something else)

The key to success is test test test. Once you have things in order, the BBB is the bomb.

Agree 100%. Some people get sticker shock when they see the price of the test kit, but as a person who learned the hard way I say this: If you think you can't afford the right test kit, then you can't afford to not have it.

It will pay for itself very quickly.
