Like the subject line, any link I click just takes me to the /blog homepage. If I do a forum search, I can get to threads, unless they're posts by TFP (like Pool School articles, etc). Is it just me? I've turned off Ghostery, etc, just running a plain-jane version of Firefox on a Win10 machine.

I've got 2 Triton II TR-140 filters, installed 1985, and both have their original clear domes (p/n 15-4678) - which I love because you can SEE what's going on inside the filter. One of my domes got cracked when the filter plugged (sucking mud from a cracked skimmer line), and the pressure spike...

DIY "Mega-Liquidator"? Here's what I'm thinking of putting in the pump-house of the Camp's 144,000-gallon pool, trying to feed around 1.3 gallons of CL per day. Take a 55-gallon drum, maybe fit some clear hose from top side to bottom side of the drum as a sight gauge of the CL depth. Drill...

There's never really been enough water pressure or flow to feed my slide, so I recently put my Harbor Freight utility pump to work - 3000GPH makes a HUGE difference! Then I got to thinking; "hey, lookit all those bubbles - that oughta be a good way to aerate and get the pH back up after I dose...

Using my TF-100 kit w/ speedstir, today I tested not only the pool, but also the water coming out of the well I use to fill/replenish, and here are the results: Well FC = 0 CYA = 0 pH = 7.2 TA = 440-450 CH = 350 Pool FC = 11.5 CC = 0 CYA = 60 pH = 7.2 TA = 120 CH = 525 No real surprises there...

With the TF-100 kit's CH test, it says to count drops until the sample turns from red to blue. When I test for CH, the sample starts off pink, and goes to light purple at 36 drops, but it takes a total of 44-46 drops to get the purple to slowly change to an actual light blue. Same results with...

So...I've been maintaining this Camp pool and learning about pool chemistry for 5 years now, and one of my Board Members asked me the other day if I was interested in becoming a Certified Pool Operator. I hadn't thought about it, but I've been looking into some sort of professional pool training...

Like the subject says, anybody else using one of these robot beasts? I LOVE mine in my large pool, although now that Hayward bought out AquaVac and got "organized", it takes 2-3 weeks to get parts instead of the 2-3 days it used to take ordering direct from AquaVac (grr...) His name is...

Glad to be registered here finally, been lurking and reading for awhile. I work on an inground plaster 40 X 80 144,000 gallon main pool with a 3,000gallon wading pool, surrounded by huge oak and pine trees in a west Texas oasis called Buffalo Gap. This pool was built in 1985, *inside* the...

This is at a 144,000gallon church-camp pool with 2 pumps and filters that run 24/7. Last summer we changed out the 10-year-old sand for new sand from a reputable local pool supply, and checked the laterals inside - everything looked/felt good. But ever since then the filters seem to be...
