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

I haven’t posted here since I got my above ground going at my old house a few years ago. It was kept flawlessly clean for 3 years on the BBB method for $10 a week.
We moved into our new house last Wednesday with this pool. The seller said it was a salt water pool. I assumed we could swim a few days before doing any maintenance. After the second day it was a bit cloudy. I tested it and found zero fc and <200ppm of salt. Inspection of the “salt” system turned up that it was the family leisure perma salt system. I read about it here and it was gone the next day. I went to Krogers and bought $40 in bleach, borax and baking soda. 3 days later I have this.

@monoptn that is a terrific example of pool moods. For both being blue, you have 2 completely different pools there. Each neat in their own way.

Indeed! The pool looks totally different depending on the light, but it always looks crystal clear thanks to TFP! Both pictures depict the same pool, but I think you knew that.

Clear water, it's both a blessing and a curse

I'll vote this one up. When I get to the level of TFP Nirvana clarity I hate it... The deep end becomes a gigantic magnifying glass and I can see every blem and scratch in the plaster, every particle the pool sweep didn't get, and every pool toy widget the kids left on the bottom is that much clearer. Sometimes Nirvana will bring out the curmudgeon in me.

Been struggling to get a pick that doesn’t have shadows that mess up the look at how clear it is. Here’s one from this morning... you can see that the wind is making all kinds of ripples.

Thank you. We went darker than most for sure. You can see the true color on the sun ledge and we’re super happy with it.

Better one with no movement. Look, you see the wrinkles on the bottom!

How did you get the vacuum hose to float in mid-air like that?
