    The potential issue of using low-splash

    I have been a TFP user/follower for a couple of years and swear by it. This has been the hardest year getting our pool clear and i think i just made it a whole lot worse.

    Results not consistent...what am I missing?

    Thanks for yalls input and recommendations. Since my last post have continued testing about every 3 hours. My mid day FC was actually 9 (instead of 5) after my last dose of shock in early morning. After reading through replies and testing at 3, i got FC 7 CC 0.5. I left my FC alone so I could...

    First test results...CH really high!

    Glad to have found ya'll!! The water has never been clear so I figured it might be calcium; good to know its "ok" for now. We have not changed the sand in the filter since installation, and have some if necessary. Because I couldn't accurately measure my FC fluctuation until today, should I just...

    First test results...CH really high!

    TFP rookie here but eager to learn. A little background - we spent the month of July trying to gain control of algae (green tint to water but a white -yellow slime on liner and ladder). Pool store drama and $250 later i have made more progress in four days pulling my chlorine pucks and dumping...
