I had the same experience. I’ve been using the trouble free pool method for about three years now. My TDS at my last water check at the pool store was over 5000. They said that I really needed to stop using liquid chlorine and start draining and refilling to reduce that TDS. Does it really matter?TDS is meaningless. There are certain components that matter. One is calcium, or CH. The other is CYA. TDS also includes salt, which you add with liquid chlorine. It does not influence pool water chemistry.
