BBB *does* stand for bleach, borax, and baking soda, but what it *means* is to use the best things for your pool, from the most practical source. We do often recommend using actual bleach and borax, but we also recommend other things depending your your pool and situation.

Dichlor is the easiest way to start a small pool; dissolving stabilizer is a pain, if you don't have a skimmer and a large filter.

On an outdoor viny pool -- you will be usually be fine if you (a) maintain consistent chlorine levels appropriate for your level of stabilizer, keep your pH between 7 and 8, and filter adequately.

Things *can* get more complicated, if you have well water, have metals in your water, have fill water that's very high in alkalinity and calcium, and so on. But fortunately, most people don't have to struggle with those things.
