I posted some testing questions in the testing forum now some chlorine usage questions.
When I bought the pool of course I got pool stored and bought a bunch of stuff I didn’t need but I would like to use them up before I switch to the BBB method. I now have a few questions.
  • I work nights and I am in rotation at the hospital where I work for 7 days at a time. I am not too whoopee about letting any one else do the pool chem. using the BBB method. I get around 8 hours a day at home so I would rather spend my time sleeping. Can I use pucks in the feeder during that time and BBB when I am off rotation?
  • Once the pool gets stable will the chlorine demand be constant enough I could pour off pre measured amounts of Clorox and have them pour them in when I am not home?
  • Could I keep pucks in the feeder and have them toss a bag of oxy shock (got a few bags when I was pool stored)on day 3 of my rotation as a method when I can’t adjust the bleach going in the pool?

Thanks in advance
Steve
