It's official-I am a BBB convert!!

First off, I just want to say thanks to Ben for creating the Pool Forum. This site has been a huge blessing!! Secondly, I want to thank all of the nice people on this site who help newbies like me with their pools! Before I converted to BBB I was using the Aqua Smarte System which is a mineral/chlorine auto chlorinator. It was very expensive to maintain and didn't keep my pool as clear as I wanted. I was battling algae/cloudy water with the Clarifier, Algecide and Shock cycle (repeatedly) to no avail. After an even greener pool and a dwindling wallet (not to mention a headache from pounding my head against the side of my pool ), I found *trumpet sounds* The Pool Forum! I read about the BBB system and put it to the test! Needless to say, now my pool is crystal clear and so clean! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!

Let me be the first to officially welcome you to the fold. BBB is the greatest thing for pool owners since sliced bread.

Glad it all worked out... what did you end up doing about the copper?

[circlenranch]

Grace, all I did was take the mineral/chlorine cylinders totally out of the cycler and started doing the BBB. You could really tell the difference pretty quickly after adding the bleach. The cloudiness went away and the next day I just vacuumed the dead white algae off of the bottom. (at least I think it was dead white algae !?!) The water is now crystal clear, so maybe there wasn't enough "minerals" to pose any kind of problem.

Then have fun swimming in your clean clear pool!!
