Brand new pool owner = new to BBB method

Peladow is just calcium chloride, right?

Assuming a "Yes", I'd recommend broadcasting it in 1/3 doses. Adding large amounts in one place (or through the skimmer) can cloud the pool from local formation of over-saturated water.

Alternatively, you can add it via the skimmer in even smaller divided doses.

Peladow is at least 90% calcium chloride anhydrous. Dowflake is at least 96% calcium chloride dihydrate (equivalent to 72% calcium chloride anhydrous) so less concentrated (has more water content).

Thanks. Will take care of it shortly

Appreciate the info!


Also, I'm having the pool closed in about a week but I'd like to handle the chemical aspect. I've read the sticky in the other section and several threads, but saw differing information. Do I use polyquat or just bleach and raise the levels of FC? Anything else?

and thank you for a very successful first pool season
