Bleach is at the center of those who follow the BBB Method of Swimming Pool Care. There are several forums that preach Bleach, Borax and Baking Soda as the primary chemicals you will need to balance and maintain a sparkling blue pool. I fully endorse this as being true.
The most popular forum Troublefreepool.com preaches this method religiously - this is the site I would recommend to go to if you want to just use the BBB method for your pool (using household products only). Troublefreepool.com offers many great tips and advice. They banned me at one time but I have been reinstated so I frequently will post on this forum.

Most people will need a little help before they can get there so I have included in the write up a description of some Algaecides (which don't fit in to the BBB method but are needed nonetheless).
If your pool has been neglected for some time and has green or yellow (mustard algae) you will need the aid of an algaecide -- I use this term loosely as only one on this list is an actual pesticide. The other three are algaecides in that they destroy algae but with a different method than a poison.
Sodium Bromide NaBr:
A salt of Bromine that kills algae by creating a Bromine bank in your pool. When added to the pool it changes it to a Bromine pool. You must keep the chlorine level high to be effective.

Copper Based Algaecides:
Uses copper to kill the algae --the amount of copper actually in the product is vague. I called and talked to a chemist myself and I still couldn't tell you what he said. Use only if you have aggressive Mustard Algae that seems to be painted on your pool walls (brushing with a steel brush and adding Yellow Out, YellowTrine, Yellow Treat are ineffective). This stuff will work, I guarantee it -- but it is copper based so use sparingly if at all:

More relevant today than any other time. All my suppliers are so low on chlorine, I've loaded up on bleach for the summer. People probably think I'm cleaning up a crime scene when I'm buying 20 gallons lol
Funny. Or you have OCD. 😜👍
😂 Either way your prepared!
You would need a 5 way test kit like the Poolmaster brand. The OTO is the solution #1 in that kit. It is a special chemical that turns different shades of yellow - darker equals more chlorine. The Taylor test kit uses a dye based test for chlorine. The OTO is more accurate since it is a chemical and not a dye. Amazon sells a lot of the 5 way test kits.
"The tree is a little bit of an issue right now" hahahahhaah
Its helped since ive been using stabilzer and supplimentary algaecide so ive been able to lower the output of the generator. question: while TA works to make water more resistant to changing pH. Does that apply to changing it upward also? Like would it require MORE soda ash to adjust the same amount in a pool with higher alkalinity. or in a salt water pool case more of the sodium hypochlorite generation. Thank you btw, i love your videos.. they have actually saved me while working many times
The TA for a Salt Water pool should be 70 ppm to 110 ppm. People who own salt pools (and service guys too) think that their reagent has gone bad since the pH reading is sometimes (a lot of the times) off the chart high. The TA should stay relatively low in a salt pool since you are constantly adding acid and TA and pH are tied pretty close together. My salt pool stays around 80 ppm every time I test it.
It is pretty east to calculate for that size pool. I have a video that shows you how in the "Chlorine, Sanitizers & Conditioners" Playlist. You will just need to add a small amount each day - maybe 8 oz or so.
Awesome... Honesty without all the bs!!! TY
What is yur idea about shock as home bleach care and cleaning and or luandry? This video was very educational thanks!
omg I learned so much from this video!!!..the scenery is beautiful by that last pool!!! thanks so much, think the pool store would have told me this??
Worked just as you said. Thanks for the good tips.
unrelated: what level of TA do you recommend for salt water pools? Im afraid to adjust TA to my saltwater pools because the pH is constantly driven up from the sodium generation. In the past i was baffled by how high it got until i realized where i was going wrong. due to my companies restrictions i could not adjust stabilizer, or be allowed to use algaecide. But have since used dry stabilizer to protect FC and maintenance doses of algaecide to lower chlorine demand, so i can turn down output
Thanks and is chlorine to strong to use
The amount of Conditioner affects the level of Free Chlorine that you want TFP preaches keeping the Conditioner levels low 30 ppm - 50 ppm so the ideal Free Chlorine reading will be 3.0 ppm- 5.0 ppm in that Conditioner range. If you add more chlorine it won't be protected from the Sun and burn off quickly. A 50 ppm Conditioner level won't allow you too keep your chlorine levels higher. If you have Conditioner levels of 100 ppm then it will protect a higher level of chlorine (10-12 ppm)
how often should add bleach ,i have 30 inch x 12 feet 1780 gallons pool !
i love your videos, they are so spot on
You mentioned in the video an OTO? Pool Tester for testing the Chlorine levels. I couldn't find an OTO tester online. Did I hear you correctly?
Copper/ Silver ionization , baking soda to get your alkalinity in the acceptable range and 1 or 2 gallons of bleach a week is the way to go. I've used this for 25 years and will continue to do so as long as I have a swimming pool.
Ron T. What are your pH and alkalinity ranges using this method?
Here is their explanation to me - Con't below:
"The deal is done but I will summarize by saying that what you continued to post is simply not compatible with what we teach."
I got a warning on May 26th and another Warning with the Banned For Life in the same e-mail on June 14th. two warnings (well one warning = Banned for life). The moderator Butterfly in the Chemistry section is the person who issued the ban.Here is the rest of the reply to why I was Banned for Life:
We just had a hurricane and it kept raining after so I had to wrap the pump cord up to keep it from getting water in the plug. When I went to plug it in, the pool was already green like lime green jello! Lol. I unloaded 2 and 1/4 bleach bottles into the water. Within an hour, no trace of green. That's why I love the bleach.
I have been using liquid chlorine for the pool .. and u suggested to stop using the cjlorine tabs I have high cyanuric acid. But I findyself adding liquid chlorine every two days.. im not sure if thats normal
It is normal if the weather is hot and the pool water is warm. The tablets have a higher percentage of chlorine in them and will seem to do a better job. The cyanuric acid in them helps them to maintain a good residual chlorine level in water. The bleach has much less chlorine and no cyanuric acid to help protect it - only what is in the pool. So it may seem you are using a lot but in reality you are not. In the 60's pool guys used to come everyday and add liquid chlorine to their accounts ;)
So i have a 3500 gallon intex pool and im trying to figure out how much bleach to add. I dont wanna keep spending so much money and this seems more cost effective
why in cold weather is there no chlorine reading present? ph reading is present but not chlorine reading?
Probably not. Pool Stores are in business to sell you as much product as they can possibly sell you and try to up sell you just about everything in the store. I once went in a store looking for a life vest for my son - they tried to sell me a $30,000 boat too ;) Well not really but they did try to sell me just about everything I walked past and glanced at... In my line we try to use the least amount of product as it cuts into our profit margin & a homeowner should look at it in the same way.
How much bleach 5.25% should l use in rubber pool about 600 gallon (2160 L)???
Awesome view.
Beautiful scenery
I would verify the 7 ppm number you posted here but I cannot access TFP at all. Basically, 3.0-5.0 ppm will keep your pool algae free, combined chlorine free and keep the water very clear. You don't need more than that.
I don't think so - Alkalinity adjustment upwards is pretty is easy to achieve. I have done it in several accounts where it got as low as 40 ppm and when I retested the next week it was already up to 80-90 ppm. Bringing it down is more of an issue.
Thank you .. I was getting worried there a bit .. currently we r using the regular test strips .. am planning on getting the more advance kits for a more accurate reading. My CA is through the roof .. when.I saw a video of yours concerning CA and u saying not having to drain the pool .. I was hooked. Thank you
I learned to tell customers this when I worked at Leslie's Pool Supply. Really no different than ChlorTabs. At least you don't have to wait for the chlorine tab to dissolve in a floater or skimmer basket.
Ahhh Leslie's screw job.
I really appreciate your videos and have saved a lot of money.
Please answer this question. When I first bought my pool, I use to throw the three inch chlorine disks directly into the pool. I did not know you were not supposed to do this. This resulted in they staining of my plaster pool. Circular spots with trails of brown surrounding same. Do you know how to remove these type of stains? Thanks.
A full drain and acid wash will do it. nothing topical works well.
Do you have a video about closing a pool for winter? Its a sand filter by the way. I just want to prepare for what Im going to need to do :) I have looked on your channel and cant find it if you do. Thanks
LeAnn Lewis Sorry, I don't have since we don't Winterize pools in my area, but if you Google it there are some videos. Summer all year round in Southern California - ha, ha.
Thanks bud. Great video...
Great video thank you!
Thanks dude Appreciate it I have a 2000 gallon pool How much bleach do I put I know silly question but I want to make sure

Thanks
I know I'm sexy
I have a 24 foot doe boy above. Do I need anything spcial to go from a fresh water pool to a salt water pool? THX.
Gary C. Yes. Add salt :-)
I had to do it.
Do you have a video showing what chemicals to add first? We are replacing our liner & want to know where to start. We have well water.
Do an initial reading once the pool is filled. Adjust the chemicals accordingly from there. Basically you will need to add some Conditioner and then some liquid chlorine of bleach. I like Natural Chemistry Instant Conditioner since it is liquid form and safe to just pour right in (sodium based). So depending on your pool size you will need one or two bottles. Each bottle will bring your conditioner level up to 30 ppm in 10,000 gallons of water. You want your Condtioner (CYA) level to be 30-50 ppm.
Next test your pH - if it is high which is more than likely add some acid to lower it - if you have a good test kit ii will have an acid demand test. In a vinyl pool i like the pH between 7.4-7.8. Then ck the alkalinity. Again that may initially be high. The Acid you add will also lower it. 80-120 is the range you want.
That is about it. So if you are doing the BBB Method you will need some bleach on hand, Borax to raise the pH if it drops under 7.2 and some Baking Soda to raise the Alkalinity if it drops below 80 ppm. Pick up a couple of gallons of Muriatic Acid at Home Depot or Walmart - I've seen the Instant Conditioner at my local Walmart also. If you do go to a pool store just get the Conditioner and some pool toys - nothing else ;).
Hope that helps.
Swimming Pool Tips, Reviews & How To -MrDgvb1 Thank you. I just watched your Instant Pool Conditioner by Natural Chemistry video. I like your videos. They are smart, concise, & helpful. Keep up the good work, young man!
Would you recommend maintaining a specific FC level constantly, adding every day or two, or shocking once a week to a shock FC level?
+reid kern maintain the chlorine level at 3.0 ppm or slightly higher everyday is the best way to keep clear algae free water. You don't necessary need to check it everyday but at least 2-3 times a week in the peak Summer while using the BBB Method. Less in thr Winter if you don't close your pool.
If I had a 317 gallon hot tub, how many ounce's or cups would I need to add to my hot tub to bring my levels at a useable state?
I would just use this app: www.poolcalculator.com/
bigfanziff here. liquid shock vs liquid chlorine to santize. i got a good deal on liquid shock. isn't shock just very strong chlorine?
It depends. You have to read the ingredients carefully.
since chlorine is constantly being used on a daily basis in the pool how often are you putting bleach in it? Daily? once a week?
I have a 12,500 gal pool and a 18oz plastic cup full daily works well. Make sure your CYA leval is a proper leval. Too low and the sun eats up the chlorine. Too high and the chlorine is ineffective. The website troublefreepool.com is a great resource.

I have the pucks and I bought chlorox chlorinating sanitizer as well which is granules are they the same or different thanks
I think the granular is dichlor - look at the label to confirm.
@@SPL it is by clorox, I bought it as I was told the pucks have calcium that may build up on my fiberglass pool

In using the BBB method how do I keep my conditioner level up?
You would have to add conditioner to the water. Best choice: Natural Chemistry Instant Pool Conditioner.
What conditioner should I use? I have small Intex pool.
+Finleypotamus and Kierbear I like Natural Chemistry Instant Conditioner.
Yay i get a RUclips video :}
Hi what happens if i leave my pool without filter on for 4 days while i am away? Can I do this I leave tomorrow morning.
You can. Just add a lot of chlorine.
I have a 10,000 gallon above ground pool. For the last 3 years I have been fighting with green algae, clinging to the vinly liner on the floor and walls. I've used granular shock once a week and it keeps coming back after about 4 days. Can I use liquid shcok in my pool and possibly get better results?

Thanks a whole lot 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
So when you put liquid chlorine/bleach in your pool won't this bleach out your liner or anything you put in the pool?
No, pouring 1 gallon of bleach or chlorine into a pool will not damage the liner. I do it all the time and never have stained a liner. Using powder shock might cause staining.
Swimming Pool Tips, Reviews & How To - SPL would it make more sense to use the liquid bleach at night instead in the sun of the day. No burn off at night.
You have great videos and blogs and I love the truthfulness of them. I have an idea I want to run by you. I have a salt to chlorine generator, but I am tired of dealing with the replacement of the cells, and the major hassle of adding Muriatic acid constantly to the pool. For this summer, I am thinking of going with the bleach. My question is can I use my acid hopper/feeder as the bleach infuser? I can set it up on a timer so that it runs an hour or more every day. So instead of filling the acid hopper with acid, I could fill it with bleach and adjust the time amount (with a timer) it runs by the chlorine readings I get each day. Of course I would turn off the salt cell totally. Since I have a 25,000 gallon pool, I would add one 3 inch TriChlor tablet per week to help with stabilization. I'm loathing my salt cell more and more each summer as it causes a pH problem, and therefore a ineffective chlorine problem, and it needs constant maintenance and replacement. Does this make sense?
My pools ph is 8.0 and my pools chlorine is about 4 ppm and I have chlorine in my skimmer and in my floater and it has acid in it how can lower my ph
What does your water test kit say?
Are you still using tablets through a chlorinater and just using the bleach to "shock" it?
+Brian Mancke I have the very same question, did you find an answer, or Swimming Pool Tips, Reviews & How To -MrDgvb1 can you answer?
+str8savage Generally if you are using bleach you will not need to use the 3" tablets. However if you have a really large pool 22,000- 35,000 gallons of water you may be adding bleach every couple or every few days in the Summer. You can float one tablet a week without much movement in the CYA - Cyanuaric Acid level in a very large pool to help keep a level of Free Chlorine in the water.
+Swimming Pool Tips, Reviews & How To -MrDgvb1 awesome, thank you so much for getting back to me, your channel is awesome! keep up the awesome work!
Thanks for the video, learning a lot from your videos.
Your average sodium hypochlorite level in Clorox Bleach is around 6%, when your pool store sodium hypochlorite is anywhere between 10-12%. It may be cheaper to buy from your local pool store (at least in some areas). Leslie's carries liquid chlorine by a 4 gallon case for 17$. You get double the strength, for a great cost and for great quantity.
Freddy Douglas Garcia Totally agree. Not sure why some people think it's good to use inferior Chlorox bleach at 1/2 strength and higher price. Use liquid chlorine at about 12%. I get 2 1/2 gallons from Pelican Pool for about $9.
+warrior7772 dollar general bleach is like 99cents we used to get it by the pallet for summer seasons.
Andrew Raboine It's very weak though and won't do an efficient job. Read the label for strength %
+warrior7772 it was around 8% and we shocked it at night just after dark
+Andrew Raboine It's definitely a good idea to shock at a time where it's not all to hot out. Just keep in mind, your pool equipment should be running during this time. Maybe run the pump 4 hours during the hottest hours of the day, and 4 hours at night? Completely up to you.
Mine is 12 feet wide by 2 feet deep and I need to know how to prevent it from becoming a mosquito breeding ground
I have no idea but I need the same treatment
I've heard of people using vinegar or cascade to purge a hot tub,, what do u think?
+Mia Olson I suppose vinegar will work. Cascade - isn't that dishwasher soap? I suppose so.
:)
cascade can be used to clean cartridge filters in vinyl garbage can, much cheaper than pool store solutions;
"The methods of pool care you were advocating are not what we teach. They may work fine for you but it is not good advice to a homeowner who manages his pool differently than someone in the business.
You had previously been notified of that and asked to read more about what TFP teaches but your most recent
posts indicate you did not. People in the industry often do not mix well on this forum in that we teach some things that are not mainstream but that are based on rock solid science..."
Would you recommend bleach in conjunction to yellow trine
Yes, it is an effective algae treatment
@@SPL thanks for replying
I have a small pool..the 15ft in diameter and about 3 foot deep....I cant get the chlorine level to stay up...any ideas...would the bleach help....the bottom is getting slimy...
Have you added any conditioner to the water?
No...i don't know...we got mosquito larva in it now we are hust draining it and starting over
Okay. Refill it and add bleach as well as 1/2 a gallon of liquid pool conditioner. You can order it on Amazon or Walmart caries it: Natural Chemistry Liquid Swimming Pool Stabilizer and Conditioner - 1 Gallon
This will help protect the chlorine from the Sun's UV rays and keep it stable. Run the pool pump most of the day also.
I hear that clorox also contains detergent which actually foamed up my pool. I was advised not to use it. Liquid chlorine is a better choice.
Was it a baby pool or did you put in 50 gallons in a big pool? That's the only way that happens with the ratio needed.
I started using the BBB system a year ago, only using liquid bleach (very limited tablet use). My pH and TA went sky high. I'm thinking it's because bleach has a pH of 11-13. I have to keep adding muriatic acid to lower the pH and TA. It seems the pool pH always wants to slowly rise maybe due to liquid bleach. Is this normal?
It might be the cause. If you add borates to 50 ppm that will help.
@@SPLwhat are borates? i need to use clorox bleach because there is not liquid chlorine in my area right now
How do you condition the pool to bring it up to proper level?

Thank you!
urgent please help my the chlorine don't last on my pool I put 2 pounds of shock yesterday and today show almost nothing in the the store told me to drain the water and no more tablets .
Probably have some water issues - high CYA or phosphates. You can do a partial drain to correct the problem. PoolRx will also help: ruclips.net/video/LA7HZ_nIQcA/видео.html
You were banned from TFP? I find that hard to believe ... algaecide and liquid chlorine are discussed all the time, and I didn't see anything controversial with your posts there. I was the one who suggested you make a video about BBB ;)
4:00 damn. That's a million dollar view.
the thing about clorox bleach is it cost 4 95 in stores now, because of this type of ad, the actual chlorine you buy at walmart is only 2 50 er bottle and stronger
dont besmerch my name
Bleach notification squad where you at !?!?!
I have a 30000 gallon above ground pool. It is time to degreen and get ready for constant temps. I live in NC. I believe in using the inexpensive chemicals such as chlorine bleach, baking soda and ?Borax powder. What I really need to know is proper amounts to add as I go along. Right now the pool is green. I understand I have to clorox, brush, vac and then maintain after water is cleared. Please take me through from beginning to end to start with removing the green and going forward.
I would suggest using "Thepoolcalculator.com" to get the best numbers for your pool size to bring the chlorine level up to at least 5 ppm or higher. I know the forum shuns the use of algeacides but they help kill the algae faster and will save you time and money. I would use sodium bromide which you can find in these various products: Nava Yellow Algae Remover, Yellowtrine and Yellow treat. Your local pool store should carry one of those brands. Adding the Sodium Bromide will create a Bromine bank in the pool and kill the algae. Bromine is highly effective in killing algae -that is why most hot tubs use Bromine tablets and have zero algae in them. Problem with using Sodium Bromine is that it will convert the chlorine to bromine which will then allow the Sun to destroy it (Bromine does not bond with the conditioner in the water).
So basically add bleach to get the chlorine level up above 5 ppm. Add one gallon of bleach with each 4 oz capful of Sodium Bromide and brush the pool. Cleaning the filter is also necessary. Test the conditioner level also as it should be 30-50 ppm. If it is low I would add some after you are done cleaning the filter for the last time. It takes a few days to dissolve in the system so you could wash it out if you clean your filter after adding. Or just use Natural Chemisrty Liquid Conditioner.
Basically watch my green pool video and substitute bleach for the bags of Cal-hypo;

The only way to get your CYA lower is to drain water out the Pool & then Refill with Fresh Water. Chlorine is not affective when CYA is either too high or too low. I have a leak in my Pool. so between the Leak & adding water & no longer using Tabs & Shock which contain CYA in my Pool, my CYA went from 113 to 60 in 4 months. I have tried Cal-Hypo also. I personally had a bad effect. Made my Pool Cloudy for a month. Liquid Chlorine = Best ACE Hardware sells 2.5 Gallons of 10% Chlorine for under $5
I use a chlorine tablet in a floater as well and sanitizer and conditioner I pour into a floater. I add 2 cups of bleach a day to the pool. I also use algea guard (1 cup) once a week. Every week in the same day I add a new chlorine tablet to floater and add the stabilizer and conditioner to the other floater. So I always have to floaters in the pool one with chlorine tablet and one with stabilizer and conditioner. When you use bleach you have to make sure that it's regular bleach not the splash when you use bleach you have to make sure that it's regular bleach not the splashless. Or scented kind. Those have some kind of gunk in him that will mess up your filter and put a residue in your pool. It's hard to find the old fashioned regular bleach. I use Clorox concentrated regular bleach.
No splashless bleach*

You answered my question..all bleach now is concentrated.I've looked for just the reg bleach,like from several years ago,not available.Bleach no matter what brand has a slick oily feel to it, when it became "concentrated" it became almost like a silicone consistency.I (used) it to clean a tile floor & noticed it was leaving a thick chalky like haze…can't imagine pouring this into my cartridge filter.Watch the conditioner,tabs..watch anything you put in your pool for the CYA content…mine is at 100 & eliminating up to 2 lbs chlorine in less than 24 hrs.
Whoever says I use too much stabilizer is wrong, when I started doing this method I never had to refill my pool and it never goes green. The stabilizer us added to the floater and slowly melts away as it floats. It's not a pill it's granules but in the floater it doesn't bleach out my pool on the bottom. Plus stabilizer takes a long time to melt.
Regular bleach is no more. But the concentrated is the one to use. No spashless because it will gunk up your filter and none that has a scent because of the same reason. They have a goo in them.
who said owning a pool is easy? You need to be Dr. fricken Frankenstein to figure this crap out.
I am not a Monster...
Focus on pH first and then chlorine.. and all the rest will start to make sense, because the rest are just to support those 2.
What do I use to stabilize
Cyanuric Acid
Hell yeah,that's me in a 628,000 VIEWS video.

3:23 I've watched a hell of a lot of RUclips videos, and that's perhaps the most random thing I've ever seen.
Ah, the fallen tree. Classic! 😝
so you can use the BBB method in a saltwater pool?
+ron davis Yes. The SWG (Salt Water Generator) takes the place of Bleach in the BBB Method.
thanks so much, still trying to wrap my head around the borax and baking soda, but gonna give it a shot...
I listen to both you and TFP. The only concern I really have is the proper amount of chlorine. TFP says 7ppm and you say 3ppm. Could you talk more about why 3ppm is better?
All the “normal” chemistry values that TFP uses are a much wider range compared to the ideal values from more authoritative sources (American National Standard for Aquatic Recreation Facilities). Chlorine levels of 1-3ppm are considered the target range with 3ppm being ideal (especially during the summer).
Yes i can swim.
Walmart Bleach lmao that user name!
So how much bleach for a 3500 gallon pool?
Use this site poolcalculator.com
Amazing information! Screw the stupid Internet mods. I've never gotten along with internet mods.
Howzabout that PH !
Are chlorine tablets stronger than bleach?
+Spenge beb Suare pants Tablets are stronger but activate slower.
What happens if your swimming and the water that u put bleach in gets in ur mouth
Jasmine Ruby Stars Nothing really.
+Jasmine Ruby Stars you drown silly! try to keep mouth closed and breath above water
Well, that's a shame that that happened. I can understand to some extent why they have that attitude since they value consistent advice, but I also value open discussion. For me personally, I've not had to use anything in my pool besides liquid chlorine and acid to keep it blue, but I'm not particularly opposed to others using whatever works for them!
