    Major renovation project questions

    We are in need of a major renovation of our pool we acquired in 2019. I would like to get some opinions before we pull the trigger. First, we‘ve had a number of people out to look at it. Because of the age of the pool (27 years old) and the condition of the deck (poorly maintained exposed...

    New spa, perplexed already

    Let me start off by saying I’ve been living the TFP life for about two years with our pool. I’m all in and love it, even put others on to it. The pool is dialed in, other than some brushing and dropping in MA every so often, it’s fairly, well, trouble free. So thank you all for that. Now on to...

    Trying to lower my TA

    Return lines getting blocked by SWG air bubbles

    At the beginning of the season I installed a Circupool Edge 40. It’s been great once I got the settings and runtime dialed in. Other than testing the water I almost never have to think about the chlorine side of my pool maintenance. FC is almost always between 5 and 7 ppm, and CC is usually...

    Thanks for the help TFP!

    Hey all, I just wanted to say thanks for all the info and help on this site. I’ve had a crash course on pool ownership and maintenance here, and it’s very much appreciated. I do have a couple of questions, and I’m sure I’ll have more going forward. We bought a new (to us) house last summer...
