How Clear is TFP Clear? Let's See (Pics Only Please).

Does this qualify?

Hmmm...the reflections of the far right tree could be a little clearer. But we'll let it slide. This time.

I always wondered what happened to the Nirvana kid…….

As we ALL agree that was, like 8 or 9 years ago, so it TOTALLY makes sense.

Lol well my son is 6. I'm no math whiz but I'm not sure it works. We can say it was 5 years ago if that makes us feel younger.

I think i see a speck of dirt on the steps...wait... nevermind. It was on my phone screen. You're certified TFP clear!

Time to SLAM your phone!

I did drop it in the pool last week...I figure the maintenance levels of chlorine were enough to SLAM it given my phone has no CYA.

6.5 ft of crystal clear water. TFP has made this process so Dang easy.

Vacuum shot

Been meaning to throw my clear pool water in the ring here, but phone pics never look as good as the naked eye. Though, I think this shows it pretty well.... also, just crossed my 10th season with TFP on July 4!

Last season, I recall my wife commenting one day that the water didn't seem to have its usual sparkle. I was like, what! It is totally clear, FC consumption has been normal, and I always keep my FC above the min, it's just the cloudy sky. Hopped in, put my back to the wall under water with a mask and could easily see the wall on the other side (30 feet), all good. Next day was sunny though and it still didn't have that sparkle. Passed the OCLT that night, but still decided to raise to SLAM for a couple of days then did my same visual test and realized I could now see the intricate details of the liner pattern on the other side. Even though my water would have been described as clear by any reasonable person, it was not TFP clear. There is a real difference as this thread as certainly demonstrated.

(The fact that I passed the OCLT tells me that the algae problem must have been very very low level, so now I do that underwater visual test every so often )

I have noticed that if my ph gets to 8 or slightly above, my water loses a bit of its sparkle. Not cloudy by any means but not as "sparkly" is the only way I can explain it. Perhaps dull is a good word. I brought it up in a thread and it was explained it's likely calcium coming out of solution.

New pool this year luckily found TFP only after two weeks of using the pool store. Drains are 6 feet down in this picture.

Night shot under a light plus the "Super Moon" of May 26, 2021. The downside of a clear pool is that can see every imperfection in the bottom of this 1985 pool, plus the dirt just below the drain!

Forgot to put the cover on last night and this morning was greeted by a nice view from 40ft away on our deck. Unfortunately I can easily tell I need to vacuum the leftover storm debris now.

I’m slowly learning the TFP ways.

Night shot this evening before bed. It’s only been full for 2 weeks.. so we still kicking the dust up. I’m pleased

Our TFP POOL. Second Picture is a quarter at the bottom...9 foot depth (you can tell heads or tails, but it was windy when I took this).

Looks great except for the cloudy area by the ladder..wonder if there is such a thing as spot slamming.

More intriguing than the pool is what appears to be a lake? So you're waterfront?

No...

Yep! 320' of lakefront, dock, paddleboards, kayaks, jetskis, and a nautique for surfing/tubing/wakeboarding/skiing. Lots of water in my life! Love it!
