Greetings All, The top part of my filter tank has a large crack in it and I need a new one. I really just need a top that is comparable, but will most likely have to buy the tank as a whole. The FSH 500 (500 sq ft) is no longer manufactured and I'm looking for another tank top that would be the...

Yesterday I took my first stab at spare ribs on the grill. Soaked in apple juice, used a 9 spice rub, and apple cidar vinegar to mop (simply used a spray bottle). The oven thermometer I used read about 190 degrees, but I'm sure my grill was hotter than that as the rack finished in 2.5 hours...

Hey all, I have a cartridge filter and a chlorinator. I read in the "Definitions & Abbreviations" section that trichlor isn't a 'good choice' for cartridge filters & extended swim season pools (I live in north Texas). Is there a better product I can use in my chlorinator or will the...

Greetings TFP, I am new to the site and recently inherited a pool with my recent home purchase. I'm gathering all the information for my pool still and have been doing a lot of reading on the site over the past couple days. My question is, when is a good time (average) to try and start...
