I was given some Cal Hypo tablets by a friend a few months back. With the seasons changing and Trichlor tabs getting harder and harder to find and the price skyrocketing, I’m going to use some Cal Hypo tabs in my skimmer basket sparingly over the winter. The ones I was given looked like an...

I really want to give my sand filter a deep cleaning. I know I am going to have to make 3 cuts and install 3 union fittings. This is a Pentair Tagelus 325lb sand filter. Is it the bottom gasket that holds the filter multi valve on?

I'll try to be brief. A fried of mine let their pool go over the winter. I'm picking up after some bad advice from the pool store that was given to them. They have already shocked twice with stabilized shock, and are still running their SWCG. 18,000 gallon vinyl liner pool. Sand filter. So...

I'll keep it brief. When I test my pool water using a 10ml water sample, after my FAS-DPD CL test, I check for CC and I always get a slight pink tinge. When I use my normal 25ml sample, I never get a pink tinge when testing for CC. Even if I add 10 drops of the CC reagent instead of 5...

Greetings to all. It has been a while since I have posted. Things are well with my pool and I've been on the TFP method for about 3 years now. A few things I'd like to shed some light on. I noticed Clorox and Great Value bleach have both lowered their available sodium hypochlorite amounts to...

I have watched the videos and read the informationals. I haven't seen any regarding my specific type of pump. Does my filter setup require cutting of the 3 pipes? Thank you so much.

I struggled with the ideal of completely weaning off of the stabilized chlorine pucks and EZ pool for most of the summer. I read on and off this site for around 2 years, and this year finally made the full transition about 2-3 months ago. I can't believe how much less $$ I spend on pool...

Hey guys, I am losing approx 3 ppm daily in my pool with 10 hrs of direct sunlight and heat. I am not stressing about this. Would it make more sense to add 1/2 of what I need in the morning when my pump kicks on, and the other 1/2 about an hour before my pump kicks off? I am currently using...

I'll try to be brief. My pool was built in 2012. I have maintained a virtually crystal clear pool with zero algae since. I want to take more control and stay away from the pool store as much as possible. I am an EZ pool user and I also use my inline chlorinator, I know FLAME AWAY!!! Just...

Hello all. Greetings from sunny, hot and humid, often rainy Baton Rouge, LA. I had my pool installed/constructed/built 3 years ago at the constant, repeated, unforgiving, daily, never ending requests from my wife. I guess I will start with the basics: 18x36 IG vinyl liner pool 1.5 HP pentair...
