I started doing the BBB method a few weeks ago on the tale end of a two week battle with algea, it cleared my pool up overnight. Fast forward to this week, i was out of town for 5 days, my BIL was supposed to had half a gallon of bleach on Thursday and half on Saturday( I had added a gallon on Wednesday before I left) I figured that this would be ok. Well he didn't add the bleach and I came home this past Sunday to a green pool, I added bleach ONLY to my pool... five days later, my pool is almost clear( not two weeks with the pool store crap!)
Soooo, I will NEVER use the pool store chems again!! Thank you to the experts here who have guided me and answered my questions, I told my neighbor about the BBB method and they now have a crystal clear pool for the first time in years!!
