Hey folks everything I have learned on here has helped my pool look awesome all summer. I am getting ready to close and pool cover says to drain no more than 6" from top of pool. What I have researched on here is 2-6 inches below intake or lowest outlet. Which should I use. Pool is an Intex 26'...

Awesome! Thanks.

So spent yesterday at soccer fields cheering kids on yesterday and ran the pump last night. Just back from soccer and completed testing with following numbers: FC 5.5 CC 0 pH 7.5 Ta 200 CH 200 CYA 70 Salt 4000 ppm 3250 with strips. Water is crystal clear and the family has been in for about...

Hey folks, TFP is a great resource for learning about pools. Although with knowledge comes more money spent to do things right the first time. My wife wants to know why just using test strips and adding salt like we did a few years ago on our 14 foot standard Intex with SWG isn't enough...

Thanks everyone. Know just what you mean PAGirl it has rained on and off for a couple weeks. Leveling is almost complete with the pavers and more sand to finish bringing it all to grade tomorrow. Still going back and forth on adding foam board under the pool. I have seen it mentioned and...
