Just returned from two week vacation to find my green pool. No surprise. Started slamming and scrubbing and backwashing to clear pool back to blue. I've had a leak that has been slow since right before closing last year but figured I'd find it this year. Current issue: Pool is loosing water...

So I think i'd like to say using a sand filter. My investment on sand is quite minimal though IF I get another sand filter I will reuse the 9$ in sand I have purchased. It may be possible to fix the mid-body leak of my existing filter by way of using a fiberglass repair kit. I used to work with...

This guy! I did hardly any research! I bought this pump because it was a deal, it had better efficiency than what I had before, and a higher flowrate. I recently came back to a green pool after vacation so i slammed it and killed the algae, no issues! Pump ran for a full week with no...

Big fan of Pool Pal by Pirates Love Bacon.. Many of my pool friends wish there was something like it for IOS any ideas.. the main feature that is the best is the ability to track.. I have put in my reviews of Pool pal a desire to support the developer in some way because he or she is AWESOME.

Thank you so much for the awesome suggestions. You are not at all to late. I am still planning on what to do. All the suggestions are really helping me formulate a plan!! I will certainly look into the detail on the South fence line. I like the idea of putting those small rock beds with...

Believe it or not I pressure washed the deck around the pool last year.. but after I opened it this year the deck had quite a bit of discoloration where the tarp was. Though once I add the top to the existing fence I will certainly need to pressure wash the fence to make it look remotely decent!

Just curious if you got your pool up this year and how it's looking. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Did you get you pool build done Dawn?? Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

So I removed my drain and afixed two pieces of pipe only two screws retain the drain cover. Initially I had just the single piece of PVC attached as shown. The cleaner still climbed up on top of it. Thus the use of the second vertical. I think I like the idea of using a 4" cap cut down. I may...

I am quite grateful of all the ideas. I am liking the idea of uprooting all of the crate myrtles and holly around the north end near and around the storage shed and leading upto the storage shed following the west fence line from the edge of the edging that remains from the forgotten flower bed...

Thank you for your kind reply, sorry it has taken so long to get back to you. I live in Memphis, TN. I don't have a desire or no desire to attract anything in particular. It would be awesome to hide the storage shed. Primarily I would like to create more privacy on the north and south ends of...

I really do like the rocks around the rosebush. but everything else is negotiable. We don't make a ton of money, thus the reason I keep my pool the TFP way!!, but I have been gifted 400$ to redo my backyard landscape. I do plan to put a fence around that equipment pad. Basically We bought the...

I know it is ideal. But I was mistaken to think that if algae is present it would be higher than 0 Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

One last question. Why is my CC still zero. I use a 10ml sample and drop the the 5 drops to test for CC. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Hrm quick fix thanks. I miss read the chart when I initally set up on my CYA. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Current test results Fc 4 Ph 7.6 Cc 0 Ta 90 Cya 50 I've vacuumed this up. I even elevated the fc to 12. Naclo consumption seems normal. I initally thought this was sediment from pollen.. But I've no idea. Help because you guys rule and always solve all the problems. Sent from my HTC One...

Thank you every one. I have already closed the valve all the way simply to get enough suction to run the cleaner. I reckon I'll do it the old fashion way... Fins and googles and zip ties Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Can I remove my drain cover so that I can attach a small section of 4x1.5" pipe so that my cleaner doesn't get stuck on top of the drain? I am not too familiar with the custruction of a vinyl pool to know if by removing that drain I will loose the seal between the liner and the pipe and thus...

What an awesome idea. After years of sitting dormant this post has brought the solution I need to my PoolCleaner getting stuck... Thanks ksninew!!!!

I love the TFP method. I can say that it is simple and awesome and I have a clear pool. I check my pool about every four days and add about 1.5gal of 10% at CYA of 50. When it rains I don't do anything. When it is sunny, I don't do anything. When my scrub brush hasn't been used in a while... I...

Gee all this talk about CYA of 50 makes me want to jump in. I am currently at 30. And my pool consumes 1.5 ppm Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

1.5 ppm daily. I usually only add every three days or after heavy swim load.

Very very nice Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

For Memphis and the surrounding area. Smith Pool Supply has 2.5gal jugs of "Liquid Pool Shock." for 5.99 refill. The jug cost 5.00 initially then only 5.99 for refills! 10% NaClO so .187 per oz. of NaClO!!! Best I can find since ALDI changed their bleach from 96oz/6%/1.29 to a...

Awesome love it can't wait to see it up and going Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

This is correct. .18 per OZ of NaClO Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
