I just joined. I hate to think of where I would be without TFP. Thanks for a great resource!

Donated today. ...well worth all the info and guidance in this forum. Thanks!

signed up. how long to get the fancy badge?

It can take anywhere from a minute to a day. Today in particular, I am out and about all afternoon and evening and will get to it late this evening.

Sent from my iPad.

It is kinda fancy isn't it?

Just joined and became a supporter. Been lurking for just over a year and have been using your guidance to shock, maintain and add borates for the past season. I pulled off the cover this evening to find a sparkling pool underneath and couldn't have done it without your help!
Can't wait to balance the chems tomorrow.
Thanks for all the great advice on your site!

Hey, JJ,

That's a great feeling to see that clear water under the cover, huh? Very nice work on your part....you are a BBB dude!
Thanks so much!

Welcome to TFP!!

How are things in Richmond? I lived there in the late 80s and early 90s working for a pool company (DA). Where exactly are you? It's been ~20 years since I lived there, but I greatly enjoyed my time there.

I'm glad you found us and opened to a clear pool

Not sure why waited so long! You guy's have helped me so much! Thanks Jason!

Given all the help and knowledge that Mark (mas985) has provided me ... figured it was about time to show my support.

I could have sworn I did this last year...I must have forgot and now must apologize for that.

The TFP team has been the biggest blessing I have had since becoming a pool owner, only second to my son and his dogs happiness. I always knew there was something fishy when every time I entered a pool store I left with $50, $60, $70 or $100 bill and that doesn't even count for the pool guys cost (who I really liked and was a chlorine and acid only guy).

After finding this site, studying all the resources and most importantly with the guidance of people like jblizzle, Linen, JasonLion, frogabog and others that have lent insight direction and guidance I have become so less dependent on the Pool Store for the care of my pool. Funny its like they know somehow I found you guys they don't even bother selling me on anything anymore, I think they realize all I'm there for is Chlorine, Acid and CYA.

What a GREAT group of folks to put this kind of time and energy into helping those around them. At the very least I could donate and help pay for the resources that cost JasonLion cash to keep running.

Thanks again to those I listed, and to the rest of you who I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting, you guys ROCK!

Jason, just payed my $30 best money I have spent on a pool in 20 years! New at this and have read here for two weeks then posted my first post and wow info instant Thanks

Thanks TFP.... truly great folks who *really* know their stuff. Only difficult part of maintaining the pool now is the stuck up attitude I have to deal with for the very occasional trip to the pool store. Can we get a forum section for that?

Jason you added a new server last Friday and today I am a supporter.

Love the site.

Have been a lurker on TFP for ~2 months and have found it to be indispensable in caring for our pool. Being a TBF supporter is the least that I could do!

I made my Lifetime Support donation today as I look out the window at my sparkling pool! The information and support on your site has been very, very helpful.

I'm a newbie & found your forum roughly 3days ago. I have been staying up til 3am reading up on a lot of info. Phew! The wealth of knowledge you have on here is staggering! You guys have convinced me to be a lifetime supporter. Now where do I go to get that test kit so I can whip this green swamp into a clear sparkling oasis it was meant to be?
