Hello. I will start by saying I have successfully maintained a TFP in the past, but we didn't open the pool last year and opened to a swamp this year. We started the SLAM process on Saturday. The pool has gone from a disgusting, dark green pond to a milky aqua color, so we are making...

I have someone coming over today to look at my pool for a re-plaster job. I have been searching for someone to re-plaster for 4 years. There are companies in my area that do new builds, but no one who will re-plaster. I finally was put in touch with this person who used to work at a company...
