After struggling with our pool for years, I am really trying to get on top of it and keep it up more diligently. In the past month or so I have managed to turn it back to blue from a green scum filled mess. I am to the point I’m not sure exactly the best order in which to get to the final...

Is there a way, or can it be added, to send push notifications from the app when items are overdue? Or if you haven’t logged test results in over a week? Things like that. I need more prompting to stay on top of it since we have such a crazy busy schedule, days get away from me before I even...

We've had a maintenance company cleaning the pool since last February. I wasn't totally satisfied with them, but it was a DISASTER of a year last year (literally...) and cleaning the pool was the FURTHEST thing on my mind. The biggest complaint is that even though they come every single week, we...

Sigh... Been a while since I've been on here. We were following TFP for a while with pretty good results. But, then life happens. I did most of the pool cleaning and testing. And then got pregnant. During the summer...in Houston. And it was my worst pregnancy yet. Soooo....things weren't getting...

Our pool finally finished filling this morning after having the plaster, tile, and coping all redone. So, I get the filter turned on, backwashed real good, refilled with de. Then I put in 2 jugs of bleach. I knew FC was at 0 and since it took a whole week to refill the pool, I knew it needed a...

The guy is starting today on the work to level the concrete deck around the pool and will next be replacing the coping and tile. He was saying they would have to drain almost all the water out since they have to get into the pool to lay the new tile. Makes me feel so defeated since I just...

I'm in the process of getting our "pond" back to a pool. I had noticed those dreaded backswimmers, but taking a real close look at the water, I found these guys. No idea what they are, but they're teeny tiny up to about this size here. Super gross looking and they twist and twirl around real...

Being a new pool owner I've been trying to figure out just exactly how all the pool plumbing works and what's connected to what and all that. I've been having a hard time figuring out just exactly what the function of the main drain in the bottom of the pool is really for. Since this house had...

So our pool is over 40 years old and is in need of some tlc. But we've got a really tight budget right now and so are trying to prioritize our repairs. Here's what we're hoping to have done: replace coping, paint pool (replaster later when we have more cash), and replace the concrete deck...

I read in the pool school about air bubbles coming from the return jets in the pool. Champagne bubbles were common when the pump starts up, but it didn't say anything about if champagne bubbles continue. Our pump has been running 24hrs on recirculate for going on 3 days now and we're having...

We bought a house May 2012 with a pool. We've never been pool owners and the pool is over 40 years old...built sometime around late 60s, early 70s. The previous owner had a guy coming once a week to clean and do chemicals, but we didn't want to spend the extra money each month and since I wasn't...
