So our PB says that we have to have a pool store test monthly for the plaster guy to warranty his product. Which is not a huge deal. So with me using the TFP method my numbers are great, which I knew before we took the water sample in. From what I have read when your numbers are good the store...

Ours is a wet edge Texas blue. We were shooting for the water color from a vacation to Antigua.

Thank you all for your help. Being a first time pool owner and the only guy in my neighborhood using the TFP method, it is really nice to get valuable info quickly on this site.

So next time I see a 1-1.5 CC and the pool is clear , should I wait a day to see if it increases or stays the same before I raise the FC level ?

The water was always crystal clear. Thats why I was a little freaked out when I had 1.5 CC show up during testing last weekend. Of course we are having a big holiday blow out this weekend and I am having to SLAM the pool. I guess its good I caught it in time to get the pool in order before we...

Would it be ok to just add maybe 8-10 extra FC the day I leave and let me pump run the regular 8:30-5:00 ? I would prefer...

Re: Just starting the process in Northern Indiana - what are your "must haves" in a p I would for sure suggest you look into a built in table. Our builder called it a Margarita table. We use it all the time.
