    Added DE while in recirculate- HELP

    TY! When I run the pool, I put it on filter now then? And now there is DE in the returns, I just wait until it cleans all the way out? Did this harm other parts of the pool mechanisms? I know no one can really answer this for me, but since I upped the chlorine, what do I tell them to do in the...

    Added DE while in recirculate- HELP

    I got things going with opening the pool and it took me longer than I had expected. I wanted to start the SLAM process. So all is well until I added DE to the skimmer while recirculating! I didn´t even think about what was happening until I saw the plume enter the pool. What do I do now? I...

    OK! Pump is running. I have to go back in to understand more about the DE filter. re: Backwashing and adding DE. 10% Chlorine is liquid shock or something else? And add late in the day? Thanks for your reply.

    Buying Testing Kit Offline

    Thank you! I will post a pic. My husband took it and left for work, so I cannot get a closer one right now. I'm packing up my classroom. Is there anything else I should order from the site while I'm at it?

    Buying Testing Kit Offline

    Good morning, I am new to TFP last year with a new pool. I am opening the pool myself this year and do not have a test kit yet. Because of Covid, shipping is totally wacky. Can I buy a test kit in person somewhere? Can I do anything to get the pool going without the test kit? Thanks in advance.

    GLI Gerano or Bonito?

    Hi, I am wondering if you think Gerano would work with a blue fiberglass step? Were in the process of a 20X36 rectangle build with cantilever concrete.
