pretty sure I messed something up. I was gone for 10 days and also was going to switch phones but didn't have the right sim card so that didn't work and in the meantime I had to delete some things and fool around trying to move data. anyway it says it is on and I don't seem to need an update...

I seem to be math impaired, can somebody help? supposed to be 12.5%, no way. pool is 6800 gallons, maybe a little more with rain but it took over 93 ounces to raise free chlorine 6ppm yesterday. pool math told me 56 oz to raise it 8 ppm, and that only took it up 5 when it should have taken it...

after reading some threads on this and having a little trouble with keeping chlorine levels a few weeks ago* I decided to try removing phosphates this year. being on a ranch in AZ and the pool being about 200 yards from livestock corrals I figured it was equivalent to golf course levels of...

I mostly see these on Florida pools, but anybody can reply. looking for info and especially photos, up close at structural aspects and outside/inside whole views. sister lives in Phx, AZ metro area and has an old house that has/had a screened porch with a wood frame, very boxy, flat top that...

I was inputting my last chlorine reading a couple of hours ago and it started giving me this error: "Did your phone go swimming? We couldn't connect to the clouds, please check the weather and try again!" I see from looking here on the website that it recorded that 9 ppm a BUNCH of times, but...

everything else I have looked at works. tried refreshing forum page and topic, keeps giving same message edit - can read part of the post when I look at my post here, but can't open it. https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/advertisements-on-tfps-youtube.238534/unread Page could not be...

last week there was no liquid chlorine at the pool store in Tucson, though I found plenty at Ace and wallyworld. what is going on?

related to my post about fresh reagents, is the OCLT valid at maintenance chlorine levels or should it be done at shock level? in other words, does a higher chlorine level magnify any over night loss? or is <1 ppm loss at 4-5 ppm the same at 12+ ppm?

I am a cheapskate and HATE throwing things out, so I tend to use those reagents to the end. well I had a little issue of excessive chlorine use a couple weeks ago, and even though the water looked fine, I dumped some gallons in trying to do a SLAM. could NOT pass the OCLT, was losing 3 and 4...

I find myself thinking the thread has ended when I come to the horizontal blue banner(s) suggesting membership donation. and have been missing further replies. kind of irritating. I have a couple of questions: are they there for everyone? is there anyway to block them as a donor already? or...

hi all! weather getting colder and time to start posting here again. I seem to get too busy in the summer and don't check in very often. with the public pools shut this year I have lost my winter swim location and am daydreaming about a heater again. I know that I already had a short...

in this thread - 30 ft above ground pool my post with the links did something kind of odd. two show images and two are just links, any idea why that happened? I copied and pasted all 4 from the address bars in tabs all open at the same time...???

Half of us are going to come out of this quarantine as amazing cooks. The other half will come out with a drinking problem. I used to spin that toilet paper like I was on Wheel of Fortune. Now I turn it like I'm cracking a safe. I need to practice social-distancing from the refrigerator...

Is there a source for small quantities of DE or should I think about starting a small mail-order business? How long does a 25 lb bag last for using with a sand filter? At least the shipping wieght is low! :ROFLMAO:

I just started a SLAM tonight. I got in a hurry and checked pH before dumping chlorine in and it was high - 8.2 so I just eyeballed some acid (oops) then went to do the rest of a full test while that mixed. It read as low as the scale could read 6.8 maybe a little lower??? should I add...

My robot's main connector hose (the "c" piece) split and instead of spending $30+ to replace it I just bought a whole new unit for $60. They have changed from the multiple piece hoses to a single smaller diameter with no floats or spinners (curious how that is going to work in terms of getting...

I remember it was on a farm, midwest, postings done by a woman. think it was 20 feet across or bigger. search on "stock tank pool" only gives me small troughs.

My "plan" was to possibly replace the whole pool next year, go up in size and get a real pump and filter. I did something extremely stupid this morning and turned the pump back on and walked off with all valves closed. Oops. They are tough little motors and who knows it may start up again...

I am almost 100% positive there was a manufactured pump and tank set up - NOT the Liquidator - but I can't find it in a search, and can't remember the name. Anybody know what I am thinking of? I am sure it was some kind of Stenner but it was packaged together with a tank and all one price...

I had an ancient flip phone until verizon forced me into the modern times this past January. Because of the nature of my life, I kind of have to be able to answer when someone calls (also I enjoy gabbing with my sister when I am in the pool). However the cost of these things to replace is...

Sometimes I write something and then click the wrong button - "Next Thread" instead of "Post Quick Reply." Occasionally the system gives me a warning - "Are you sure you want to leave page" or something like that. But other times it goes to the next thread with no warning. That wouldn't be so...

So I had a container of this product sitting around. Water Lube 1.75 oz Jar Lubricant and Sealant for O-rings and Gasket WLB-1 | eBay Wasn't entirely sure if it was really ok for pool O-rings so tried to google it for the ingredients. WARNING! Do not use "Water Lube" as a search term! I...

I was sort of daydreaming about a speaker in the pool and looked around. All I see are a few cheap bluetooth floaters that seem like a hassle with battery charging and not really meant for underwater. The few real wired speakers I could find started at $500. Is there an in-between choice? Is...

I can't see the OP's photos in this thread, but I CAN see other posters' images. Strange. Landscaping around pool

Related to my question the other day about the new version of the Intex SWG machine, I am now getting low salt error after a few hours of run time on my old machine so having to add a fair amount of liquid chlorine daily until I decide what to do about my hardware. My question is what target...
