my vacuum always gets stuck..today i noticed that there was a lot of water being pushed out of the connection hose. The part that connects from the wall to the vacuum hose. there is a lot of water being pushed out of that connection so the vacuum isnt getting enough water pressure to keep it...

my vacuum is always stuck against the wall. every time i look at it, its stuck. If i move it it will go straight to the wall then get stuck. stay there for its allotted time until it automatically senses its stuck and pull away then straight into the wall again..what gives....why is this thing...

i have always had this dirt in my pool since i moved in last year...my pool is surrounded by concrete and grass there is no source for new dirt. i added an extra hour to my pump and vacuum when i added the dirt/sand filter bag and no improvement

I always have more then a few areas where there is dirt on the bottom of my pool. I touch it and it feels grainy like sand. I dont know if it is dead algae or dirt/sand but like i said it feels grainy when i touch it. I bought the expensive sand/dirt bag to attach to my vacuum but still the...

my vacuum has been running non stop since i started this process. So I am assuming the algae i am stirring up is dead since i am passing the OCLT and I have no CC's. I guess it will just take a little longer for the vacuum to get it all. I kept the FC at shock levels for an additional day...

So even though i look through to the bottom of the pool and it is clean and clear when I brush it i can see the algae or maybe its dirt clouds around the brush. So should I keep slamming until i brush it and nothing shows up?

I am passing all three phases. My water is clear however, only when I brush it is when I see the algae.

Came back from a 3 day vacation and there was thin layer of algae evenly throughout entire pool surface. My cya was about 40 so I brought the FC up to 16-20 and kept it there all day. I brushed the entire pool twice. The FC level only dropped a little once and I immediately replenished it...

i took the readings from my tfp test kit...so it looks like some ice melters are calcium chloride and some are just sodium chloride...i guess i got the wrong one, no wonder it was half the price of the other brands..i guess i will have soft silky water from the salt

I have a CH reading of 110 and the pool math called for 40lbs of calcium chloride. I added half of a 50lb bag and tested again and got the same reading. Two days later i added almost the entire remaining amount for a total of 45lbs and I still get the same CH reading...I used...

Ok so keep my FC at min 4...best way to add chlorine is where the water is entering my pool while the pump is on and in the evening, is this correct?

I am very new at the tfpc method and I would like to post my readings to see what are your opinions of where i am: cya.........48 ph..........7.6 fc...........4.5 cc..........0.5 TA.........115 my FC readings for the last day 4/16 @ 4pm ...............7 4/16 @10pm................6.5 4/17 @...

I am getting frustrated because i did read everything many times..i followed pool calc. to a tee and my levels still come up high...when i ask a question i get the most vague answer then when i do it wrong im criticized. I had no cya in my pool and was advised to add 6.5 lbs of the recommended...

Trouble free pool sounds more like extra trouble pool, might as well just call a pool guy

New readings Cya...50 (after 2 days with pump running for 36 hours) I know I need to check it again in a couple more days but does this number get higher or lower as the days go by, I'm worried that it is going to get too high and I only put in 6 of the recommended 8lbs of stabilizer, I just...

It sounds like I got everything else right except the TA...I will test again and at what level would you suggest I bring it down and what level should I leave it. Say it's 100 or higher should I bring it down or just leave it be, will it go down over time, or do I need to drop my ph then raise...

thanks, I did see the section on the bottom and when I entered the values the "100" popped up in the TA goal, so I assumed that is what I should set it to. So I will wait on the borates for now, but as far as the salt I don't know if I said I was adding salt, I meant the calcium chloride to...

Great just when I thought I was getting this stuff. The pool calculator says TA 70-90+ and puts a 100 in the goal box, so how could I not think that it should be this high? So the rest I'm shooting for Cya 40 FC. 5 CH. 260 Are these goals right?

The pool calculator recommended the TA to be that high. And and there are so many raving reviews about borates from everyone without mentioning swg!!!

really my TA was at 60....now that i added the baking soda, can i still add borates

ok so i got the chlorine added. I just added 6 lbs of stabilizer through a t-shirt, even though over 8lbs was recommended from the pool calc, as i can always add more later, and going to wait a week before testing. 15lbs of baking soda was called for so i added 12lbs. Pool calc calls for 42...

Lots of Sun no swg, thinking about 40cya? also I added the chlorine according to the pool calculator and my FC is now 6.5ppm but my CC is at zero, do I need to raise my CC? How?

Thanks Jason, considering I need almost 8lbs of stabilizer, can I fill a pillow case up and hang that, or do I need to do it slowly like one sock full at a time

Home depot has ''ice melter'' calcium chloride, will this work

is the calcium chloride only available at the rip off pool stores? everything else is at Wal-Mart for a fraction but can't find calcium chloride

ok test results Cya <10 (filed tube all the way to top before I couldn't see the black dot) TA .............60-70 Calcium....80-90 FC...............0.5 CC...............0.5 TC...............1.0 PH............7.5-7.8 Do I just plug the numbers in to the pool calculator and start adding...
