Argh! I never got an email notification about this reply! Still willing to figure something out?

Morning everyone I have a Pentair Warrior SE pool cleaner (aka Maytronics 920 aka Prowler 920 aka 'Dory our robot pool cleaner'). She works fine, and has been living a comfortable life in and out of our new pool for the past almost 3 years. The blue power cord is starting to break down in...

I put in 2 gallons of 12.5% around dinner time last night. Pulled a sample an hour or two later. OCLT: Thursday night: 23.5 Friday morning: 6 How is that possible? How can I lose THAT much? No visible algae. I’ve never had a OCLT like that.

You’re right. My mistake. Got a Taylor result of 80 for TA. Updated original post

Understood. The test results were mine, plus one line from Leslie’s. I’m a 100% Taylor test kit user. I just wanted validation that I wasn’t losing my mind.

Hi TFP team. I'm back after 6 months of construction - tore out the old 1975 concrete behemoth pool, and built the pool & spa of our dreams. We couldn't be happier, other than the long time it took to build :) New pool is approx 25k gallons, plaster, cartridge filters, and my previously used...

Thanks for the insightful replies everyone. After much debate and thought I realized that if I’m paying out the nose for a new pool/backyard/everything, an extra thousand or two to make the entire situation 100% turnkey and let someone else handle warranty claims is well worth it. After warranty...

Howdy y’all. From my post history you’ll see that I currently have a 1974 plaster pool with a variety of weird issues over the years. Well the spouse and I have decided to go the full Monty and rip it out and build a killer pool that we can use year round. So in the interest of saving a few $...

Highly recommend you buy the 7 gallon aquatainers on Amazon and have them fill those. Better handle, a spout, and obviously holds more. The 5 gallon containers they sell spill everywhere when I try to pour from them. They’re awful. But yeah, <$2/gallon for fresh 12.5% is impossible to beat.

Howdy all We have a mid 1970’s pool with concrete/aggregate coping which is obviously showing 40+ years of erosion. It’s like 40 grit sandpaper and is constantly ripping up our kids’ skin. We’re going to do a pool renovation in a few years, but in the meantime, what can we do? Is there a...

No problem! Let me know if you have any questions - happy to help with whatever I can FC has been rock-steady for days. I'm super impressed

Couldn’t find any more slip elbows!

After months of research, I purchased and installed a Circupool RJ-60 SWG last weekend. I researched and compared pretty much every brand, but Circupool continuously stood out in terms of warranty, chlorine generation, installation ease, and price. There was also no warranty penalty for...
