Yeah, my wife wanted to hire a pool service, after we were pool stored 3 years ago, and I convinced her to let me try this TFP method and if it doesn't work, we can hire someone. Going on 2 1/2 years, I haven't had to do a lot of adjustments to the pool chemistry, except for a little stabilizer. PH has stayed between 7.4-7.7, Alk has been 60-80, CH has been around 175-200 and I typically add about half a gallon a day of LC and my chlorine levels have stayed between 4.0-8.0 since May. Easiest year yet. The stirrer makes testing so easy, and I feel like I can go a couple of days or more without testing since I've gotten to know my pool. My wife loves the pool and is glad that I was able to find TFP.
