    Achieving a stable high PH to raise CSI

    Hey all, I have a low CSI problem which I suspect is causing calcium to leech from waterline pavers. I have an SWG and gas spa heater - based on TFP recomended levels (and manufacturer specs) I'm under the impression I can't push CH above 400 and TA above 100. If these are caps, then I need a...

    Pool perfect after SLAM, a few questions on recomended levels

    Hi All, I had a pool installed late last year, quickly became frustrated with advice from my pool shop that seemed a bit lackadaisical and inconsistent, and found TFP.
