Hi Everyone, THANKS to this group; I have had such excellent results with TFP approach with my 16x32 oval onground vinyl liner pool here in Vermont USA. Chemicals from Walmart and Hardware store (Muriatic Acid) only for 5 years. NEVER any algae. NEVER anything other than CLEAR. (Some leaves...

Exactly what I do. Works great.. Also CAREFULLY AND SLOWLY pour the Muriatic acid the same way. (So it's immediately diluted).

Hi Everyone! Been following TFP for 10+ years and about 7 on this pool. Works Great. Never Algae, Always really clear. I add recommended borax and Hcl Muriatic acid to balance. BUT: How to physically add / mix the borax?? What I have been doing last 4 years is set pump to recirculate and...

LAST YEAR: Pool cover pump got SOME of the water off the cover... LOTS of leaves all over. Yeah, looked very much like the one shown on the article HERE This one: HAS to be a better way... Pool cover pump constantly clogged with leaves. Hmmmm.. . So I took a plastic bucket with holes in...

Yes, I was; LIKE the TFP target setting etc. But I switched.. I have my targets from last year etc... Question: Since I lowered to 50%, now refilling. Can I expect ANY Borate to have survived the winter? LaMotte Test strip shows about 30 right now.. S Temp is 44 so I can wait a little after...

Hi Everyone, and many Thanks for helping me keep my pool beautiful year after year. I Use PoolMath and keep my own log. BUT periodically, especially over a winter, it loses my data. I understand that is saved in Cookies, right? IsThere any way to back up and restore that data? I can...

I run the filter pump 2 hrs twice a day and run 10 minutes of my little peristaltic pump with 3.3% chlorine (10% diluted 2:1) at the startup of the filter pump. The chlorine discharges in a small tube in front of one of the returns and you can see the more-dense chlorine immediately mixed in the...

Mine is as clear as can be; 7ft in center. I run the filter pump 2 hours at night another 2 hrs early afternoon. Solar heater pump several hours in day. Main thing is NEVER let the chlorine get below 2ppm .. usually 4ppm.

Dave, Excellent! I didn't know about that kit; ordered one. THANKS! TFP Strikes Again :)

Hi Everyone, THANKS for all the great information over last 10 years. I have a Taylor K-2006 kit. Works fine for usual fC etc. But I am questioning the pH color scale on the plastic test tubes. It seems to me that the colors for 7.6, 7.8 and 8.0 are almost identical. And the 7.0 may be more...

Hi; Sorry I wasn't clear; I am thinking about a separate small pump only for the solar heater system. I usually run the main pump 2 hours at 2AM and 2 hours at 2PM and 10 minutes on the chlorine pump at the beginning of those cycles. I'm thinking about the electrical cost of running the main...

Hi Everyone, I have three " Eco Saver Solar Panel Pool Heaters " in series. I now feed pool water from a Tee on the main returns with a "irrigation" valve I control depending on temperatures etc. But I have a 2HP pump and it burns a lot of electricity when I want the heater working 8+ hours a...

THANKS! Updates: Added usual CYA, no problem, TA and Ph are OK. Can not get any accurate reading on Borate so assumed zero. Borax + Hcl in 2 passes. Seems fine. Ran Cl at 10 for first 2 weeks.. Perfectly clear, no chlorine smell, Ph is good. So, like last year WalMa plus lumber yard that has...
