  • Summary

  • Episode #9: Using the BBB Method To Sanitize Your Swimming Pool

    The BBB method (also known as Bleach, Baking Soda, and Borax) is an easy way to maintain your swimming pool all season long.

    • Advantages of using the BBB method over more traditional sanitizing methods such as 
    • chlorine tablets or salt water generators.
    • While there really aren’t many, I will discuss any disadvantages I can think of as well.
    • Knowing your CYA and other pool levels is key when using this method.
    • Testing methods and assuring accuracy require dependable testing kits.

    Notes:

    Taylor has good testing kits that allow you to determine the levels by using liquid reagents.  

    I will be using a digital testing photometer that uses tablet regents to accurately determine free chlorine, total chlorine, cya, and alkalinity.  It is a Pool Water Lab device.

    Bleach - Raises chlorine levels
    Borax - Raises pH and slightly raises alkalinity levels
    Muiratic Acid - Reduces pH and alkalinity levels
    Baking Soda - Raises alkalinity levels
    CYA - Raised using stabilizer
