Foreseeing the outbreak, we prepared a few weeks ago to self-quarantine to avoid exposure and have done so since a report Tuesday of a confirmed case in a local Waffle House employee. One thing I didn't think through was setting the pool up. Luckily, I have a salt system and I've kept it open...

I came across this video on YouTube. My first thought was: Wow! How can so much be wrong in one short video? Leslies Pool School - How to Approach a Green Pool - YouTube I've only been to a Leslie's a couple of times, and never for their "advice." After seeing this video, no wonder so many...

Has anyone used this? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012B9HU8W/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza The price is really good compared to the 5lb bottles at Walmart. I wanted reviews before I ordered it.

I've always used PH down in the past because my old pool (vinyl) rarely needed it as the PH remained stable. Anyway, I now have moved and have a pebble tec pool, and the PH seems to be drifting (every week it's back to 7.8-8.0). I've been hesitant to use muriatic acid because I am clumsy and...

Just bought a new house, which means new pool for me. The pump is about shot, so I'm thinking of upgrading to a vsp like I have at my old house. Anyway, Amazon has them considerably cheaper than the pool stores, and it has an option to pay for installation. Has anyone done that? Who do they...

In 3 years of following TFP, never had any issues. However, my I've noticed a ton of mosquitos (it seems more every day) swarming over my pool, and I'm not sure why. My water is balanced. SWCG turned off due to winter. Chlorine is 5. CYA is 30. PH is 7.4. Alkalinity is 80. No CC. Not sure...

Would this be a concern? From reading on here, I'm not concerned with flagstone coping/decking, but didn't know if being constantly submerged in saltwater is a recipe for disaster over time.

I love my pool, but I'm at the point where I really need an upgrade on my actual house. Anyway, I've been looking at a house we like but they have a bromine feeder connected to their pool pump. I'm comfortable with the TFP method, and I strongly prefer SWCG over bleach, although bleach isn't a...

I just returned from vacation for a week, tested the water, and everything is still normal as far as the pool goes (CYA 60, FC 4.5, CC 0, PH 7.6, Alk 80). However, my wife purchased an inflatable water slide. She deflated it before we left, and I blew it back up today. It felt slimy on parts...

I am thinking of installing an aerator to cool my pool. It is consistently close to 90 during the day and will only get hotter later this month and into August. Do these work in the SE, specifically Georgia, where we have really high humidity? Doesn't this raise PH? How often will I need to...

Hello. I joined last year, but this is my first post. Last spring I had a 14-28 11,600 gallon vinyl liner pool installed with SWCG and Hayward ecostar variable speed pump. I was very nervous at first, and I think reading this site made me even more nervous. However, within about a month my...
