Bromine Chemistry Question

Good luck!

If you haven't already, make sure to order a K2006 test kit or whatever refills you need (link to info page in my blue signature box). Especially when you are new to BBB pool care, accurate testing is essential. Test strips are never very accurate, but the accuracy of strip testing for CYA is abysmally poor.

I have to K2006 from last fall so I think the reagents should still be usable. I plan on testing everything as soon as the water is delivered. 4 truckloads from a local water tower, but I'm not sure which one. Thanks, Ben! I just made my signature. So exciting!

Maybe Ben can change your username to "FormerBromineUser." You'll be really glad you made the switch!

This site wouldn't let me reply but I've figured it out. Will recompose my questions.

WaterMom, great suggestion!!!

Already I have a question. Arg! Thought I'd have my K2006 out already...but:

The pool guys told me that they are not installing my new pump until Thursday or Friday so my new water will sit until then. I told them that I was nervous about that because I am leaving town on Friday and won't return until Monday morning and that I didn't want to come home to a green pool! They told me not to worry because they include start-up chemicals when they do a new liner and water..... Surprise!
They use BioGuard products and my best guess as to what they will use are:
1.) Super Soluble, Burn Out 3, or Burn Out 35 for chlorine
2.) Pool Magnet for metals
3.) Algae All 60

Should I tell them no? Should I say yes to some and not to others?
