Trouble Free Pool is committed to assisting it's members learn pool care and works hard at maintaining this free resource. Over the last year the forum has seen large amounts of growth that greatly increases the cost needed to run the site. To address this, TFP has started to implement some small changes to it's TroubleFreePool.com Supporter programs to assist us in maintaining this free resource.
At this time TFP is excited to announce that we have received 501(C)(3) status with the IRS making Trouble Free Pool a charitable organization dedicated to teaching its members. All donations to TFP are now tax deductible and you will receive full details needed to deduct these donations on your tax returns. This is an exciting time for TFP and we thank you greatly for helping us make this happen.
To help assist us in dealing with this change, TFP has reviewed the suggested donation levels and came up with a three tier system, each with its own perks. Below is an updated list of our newest Supporter Levels,
