Got it, just didn't want to mess up. Thank you!

Hi everyone. I love this site! Here's my story. My numbers since getting my TF100 have been great. Did a quick slam a few weeks ago and have had beautiful water since. I went away for a few days over the weekend and before I left I added a few chlorine pucks to the floater. I left my filter...

Hi, just a quick thought, and I'm certainly not a pro like most of the others around here. Shouldn't the Op have lowered the PH? If the original reading was 7.6 if your slamming shouldn't it be around 7.2? Anne

Hehehe......I'll come help get rid on some of that wine for you !!!!:wave:

My pool is my obsession for this year.....Hubs laughs, but let me tell you, I KnOw I'm doing a heck of a job!!!!

Hi Randy, yes the pool is still cloudy. I just tested and my fc is at 7 I'm not sure that I'm going to need to slam. Do you suggest that? Off to buy that muriatic acid, I'll add it tonight after retesting and vacuuming and brushing this afternoon and brushing and vacuuming..... Having so much...

Ok, I broke out my chemistry kit and counted drops. It says FC-8 The only thing it recommends me doing is adding a bit of muriatic acid, which as I said I won't do until my CYA level can be calculated, Next question, in pool math I see no spot to add my CC level, which is 0 What am I missing...

Good morning Kimkats, and thank you for the reply. I am quite the fan of floating with the adult beverage. I'm a hard core wine spritzer fan!!! ;) Can someone please explain to me what the difference is between the little blue box chlorine tester and the rest of them. I've been using the blue...

Good morning! All is well in my pool.... I think! Played around with my Chem set last night, I'm really gonna have to play and understand some more before I post numbers. Last night my Husband the former keeper of the pool called me pool obsessed and I took it as a compliment. This morning at 7...

I added 48oz of stabilizer, because I ran out of room in the sock! I'll add the rest tomorrow after this is all squeezed out. I did add the bleach. Thank you very much for your response. I may retest in a bit, just to see if the chlorine is showing. Then I may test for other things.....If I see...

Hi Everyone, I just received my new testing kit. I opened my pool without it, and it was ok..... I did a dump and refill due to bad holes in the liner.I did add 13 or 18 oz of stabilizer about a week ago. But the weather hasn't been pretty unappealing for swimming, so I've just been adding a bit...

Thank you Texas Splash! I will try to relax. My husband started doing things the TFP way last year after we were advised to add 17 pounds of soda ash to our pool by the pool store and spend 3 weeks and HUNDREDS of dollars on chemicals, constant filter running and of course draining and refilling...

Yes, they both seem to be running wonderfully! I have a Hayward cartridge filter as well as a specks pump pumping. Its always a wonderful surprise when everything starts up at the beginning of the season!

Good morning Tim, thanks for the quick response. It's a 52 inch pool. Probably around 4 feet of water. I have read pool school. 3 times. I'm not retaining it!! I'm sure its a mental block from 8th grade science when I added two funky chemicals to a beaker and made smoke. The teacher was very...

Good morning!! My name is Anne and I have a 24 foot round above ground pool. I'm a recovering pool store shopper:D... Finally got my pool filled. Had a bad leak over the winter so we finished emptying it, cleaned it up all nice and shiny, added a patch or two and 3 days later its holding water...
