I don't recall if I posted this previously, but wanted to share. My pool sees quite a few frogs. The invasions occur usually during rain in August. We have only had a few so far this year, but its always interesting to see if we break our record of 120+. Ive had invasions of 35, 78, and the...

Hey everyone. I recently replaced my T-15 cell. The other one lasted a really long time and was old and not producing any chlorine. The new one is working, but not nearly as well as the old one. Right now at 100% for 8 hours and I can barely raise the FC (.5ppm increase). My old cell...

My current pump is on its way out. It is a Hayward Super Pump model C48K2N143B1. 115/230V (I need to get out the voltmeter to see what it is running at currently) 1HP 1.5" unions What I want to replace it with is a Hayward VS Omni model. There are 4 options : Tristar VS 950 TriStar VS 900...

Hi everyone, I've been using TFP since I bought my house with a pool in 2013. Great results...never an issue. Well, I overslammed previously and bleached my liner, but it was near its life end so it wasn't really a big deal. (Didnt check CYA assuming it would be there from previous year..so...

Hello, First I want to say thanks to the site... you have been a tremendous help with my first season of having a pool. It was rather easy... Opened pool (which was closed early last year by a pool company as the home was owned by a relocation company), cleared up the green in a few days with...

Happy Memorial day! I've researched a bit and didn't see anything that quite answered my question. After 4 days or so of runtime, the pressure on my sand filter drops from 20 psi to about 15. I clean the baskets daily (including the pump basket ) and it doesn't seem to help. However, after a...

So the heater is throwing an LP code after a few minutes of runtime. I think it ran for most of the day without issue. After some reasearch, it appears it could be an airflow issue, low ambient temp, or low refrigerant. When it runs, the exhaust is cold and the water output warm. The ambient...

So I've opened a week ago and began the Slam. Water is crystal clear but not passing the OCLT. Might be due to all the rain we are getting every night. Not too worried about it as cc is .5 and not requiring too much chlorine It may be all the stuff that gets in the pool. The pool is...

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but the math savvy probably hang around in here. I'm over shooting a bit on my calculations and I think the pool size is wrong. Original owners say 36k. I figured 32500 or so. I came across a diagram so I wonder if someone smarter than...

Finally, after preparing for this since we bought the house last November, I get to post some numbers! I expected a green pool since the home owners closed in September because they were moving and we could not take possession until late November. The pool is slightly green, but not as bad as...

I'm sorry if this is common knowledge, but what is this inline device that is installed just prior to a SWG? The pic is terrible, I was hoping to get the model number to figure it out myself. Is it something for backpressure?

I have a feeling the CH of my tap water is high. If this is true, whats the best method to reduce CH in the pool? This is just for my curiosity, since I cant test my tap water yet. But it got me thinking.... Actually, I see alot of reference material here for what pool levels should be...

So after two months of problems obtaining our mortgage, it looks like it will be going through. The home we are purchasing has a 36000 gal in ground vinyl saltwater pool. The pool was built in 2005, and I witnessed its closing by the actual builder back at the end of August. We had the pool...

Original owners stated that the pool is 36000 gal. Is that on par for a 20 x 40 9ft deep end pool? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 4

Good afternoon! I've been lurking for awhile and have greatly benefited from this site! Thanks! We are purchasing a new home, and like many other new owners have posted, it comes with a pool! It is a 20 x 40 inground SWG vinyl, about 36000 gallons. We are very excited. The home is a relo...
