I’ve actually had very good luck with flex tape, have only used it under the water but no gluey mess. Just cut it in a circle just like a patch.

Same thing I dealt with for a couple weeks. I slammed and even after passing the oclt still had the stuff settling on the bottom only hours after vacuuming and backwashing. I came to the conclusion that I believe it was dead algae that was to fine for my sand to catch. Done a little reading in...

Awesome, thank you!

Thanks for the reply, so I should keep adding bleach till the fc is up to 10, and not worry about the cc for now? It doesn't smell like ammonia I actually got in to brush it. The biggest problem for me is im no pro, and I'm not sure what the previous owners put in it.

My sister just bought a house with a 14,000gal agp that was clearly not closed or covered properly last yr. And since I use tfp method and mine looks so good they recruited me for help, tho mine has never been that bad so I'm not 100% where to go now. It's dark green tho has gotten lighter. Got...

I went to the local water treatment shop and bought 5 gallons of liquid chlorine, the older lady behind the counter told me it was 15% and one of the field techs told me it was straight chlorine. Is there any way to get an idea what % I'm actually useing? My fc was at 2.5 and after I added...

Ok kinda what I figured just wanted check. Thanks.

Wasn't sure where to post this, but here goes. We boat on the weekends and I'm wondering if it's ok to swim in the pool clothes that have been in the lake without needing washed, if so should I bump my chlorine up at all?

Do a search on the forum there are some pretty nice homemade set ups, I attempted making one then ended up buying a reel on ebay for $100

I'll tell you what not to do. 26' of 2"pvc with rebar inside and filled with concrete. Ha I bet it sagged a foot or better. Now it sits in the back of the yard because it's so rigid I've got no way to disassemble it. I bought one on ebay for $100.

We bought our doughboy used for twice that, put a new liner and top rails on and this is our 2nd season we love it. I did manage to put a couple small creases in the wall durring installation and until reading this post, forgot all about them, you cant even tell where they were at. Also if you...

Thanks for the great information, im gonna go out now and test and raise my fc.

Fc-3.0 Cc-.2 Ph-7.5 Ta-130 Ch-120 Cya-45. Pretty sure im good (with exception of ta and ch which i haven't messed with yet)i was just wondering in general if there was any reason to raise fc up if there were no problems.

This will be my 1st season using tfpc method. Previously id shock the pool once a week just because i was told to by other pool owners. My water is nice and clear with the exception of helicopter seeds and some fine dirt settling on the bottom. Do i still need to shock or slam at all if all my...

We got one on ebay last year and havnt had any issues with it and install was fairly easy esp since it was our 1st time.
