Dear Friends,

At TroubleFreePool.com, we are committed to being a 100% free resource for pool owners. However, the website is large, and it continues to grow. As we make upgrades and improvements, the cost of running the site continues to increase.

We accept minimal advertising, and we make sure our advice is never compromised by financial incentives. Unlike your local pool store, we are not trying to sell you chemicals you don’t need at inflated prices.

Thus we ask you to join TFP as a site supporter, and help us with our operating costs. Our community of volunteers is available 365 days a year, ready to help you through any pool problems, or answer any questions you may have.

All areas of TFP are 100% free of charge, but there are still a few perks we can offer those who decide to help support our site.

Lifetime TFP Supporters will receive the following:

Special supporter only discounts with designated reputable vendors, which include:

$10 off of the TF-100 test kit from http://www.tftestkits.net/
Substantial discount from http://www.SaltPoolGuys.com/ (too low to list!)
10% off ANY purchase from http://www.PoolandSpaWarehouse.com/ - WOW!
Substantial discounts from http://www.tdconsulting.com.au/ (too low to list!)
(These discounts alone pay for the cost of becoming a supporter many times over.)

Other benefits include:
Access to the V.I.P. Members Only Forums
Special TFP Supporter Plaque under your user-name inside the forum letting others know that you are a TFP Lifetime Supporter.
Increased attachment space (10mb) - non supporter is 256 kb.
Free e-mail, upon request - yourname@troublefreepool.com
Lifetime Subscription - Never expires

One time $30 donation

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For those who want to do more, we also have the Platinum Supporter option:

Platinum Supporters (in addition to ALL the benefits of Lifetime Supporters) will also receive:

Free TFP T-shirt, or their choice of ANY item from the TFP Logo Store
$20 off of the TF-100 test kit from http://www.tftestkits.net/!
Special TFP Platinum Supporter Plaque placed under your user-name inside the forum letting others know that you are a Platinum Supporter!
Platinum Subscription - Never expires

One time $100 donation.

Please note that you do not need to have a PayPal account to make a PayPal payment via credit card. Once your payment has been processed, your forum membership will be upgraded. This will be done manually so please allow one day to update your account. When you click one of the PayPal buttons above, you will be taken to a secure PayPal site to complete your donation via PayPal or credit card. Also, when making your payment, please put your user-name in the messages section so we can match your donation with the correct User ID. Otherwise, just send me a private message and tell me which name or e-mail to match with your user name.

Thanks for your support!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some of you who are already supporters of the site have contacted us and very generously asked if you could contribute further to help offset ongoing costs. The additional funds will be put to good use and are much appreciated. So for those of you who are already supporters, but wish to donate, please use the donate button below. The amount is confidential and entirely up to you.

Again, thanks for your support.

Thanks for clear answers to questions not easily answered elsewhere!!! Our pool has had an ammonia problem, and only here have I found out what it was, and possibly why. Not fun to deal with, but at least we can!

This is a great website!!! After going to pool store and spending lots of $$ last summer, I was able to accomplish in less than a week what I could not accomplish all summer!
THANKS!!!

See the Supporters Only Specials area. (That area can only be accessed by supporters.) There are posts there that list all of the available discounts and what you need to do to get them.

DARN!!! Just ordered my TF100 water kit yesterday.....I want to become a member, wish I had known about the discount which would have made it a sweeter incentive!

This forum has saved me a small fortune this season alone. I am happy to become a supporter. Thanks many times over.

I just became a supporter. Sure feels better knowing all the support I have gotten as a new (small AG) pool owner and knowing all the support I will need. I hope to upgrade my support as time goes on. Thanks again.

Thanks, I just became a supporter. About how long after you donate does everything take effect?

___ Silly Me, I was done before I finished posting this ____ Awesome site!

JasonLion · Posted: July 23rd, 2010, 2:13 pm

It takes any where from a couple of minuets to a couple of days, depending on how busy I am. In your case, on the faster end of the range.

kgriggs · Posted: August 22nd, 2010, 3:32 am

Darn. I just found this right after I received my TF100 test kit. Would have donated for sure if it was before!

mikesla · Posted: September 7th, 2010, 2:50 pm

Donated today! I've been a lurker, but have used all of the fantastic support/suggestions and am finally getting my pool under control. Thanks to all!

What a deal - figured that between the confirmation of the diagnosis of my spa losing water (faulty diverter valve) and the intangible of knowledge re: BBB and chemicals/balancing (why fight a pH that wants to hang steady at 7.8, get Costco baking soda rather than "alkalinity powder", etc.), I've probably saved the $35. :whoot:

I like this site - Just became a TFP Lifetime.
