I opened my AG pool over the weekend. I have been following the TFP forum and its guidelines since I bought our pool last year. I didn't have any problems last season and followed the instructions for closing the pool but I was a little skeptical about uncovering a clean pool this season. I...

Thanks again, I'll keep an eye on that PH.

Thank You, I feel much better now. Both very helpful bits of advice. I will switch to muriatic acid, was just being lazy and didn't feel like going to the store to get it. lol I also agree about high TA and the aeration to increase the PH next time. With the TF-100 I don't think that I will...

Hello, My new pool seems sparkling clean and shiny ;) Here are the numbers from the latest TF-100 test. PH 7.2 FC 7 CC 0? TC 7 TA 140 CYA 40 Water temp is 80 F. I had to make a few adjustments over the last week or so. My PH got too low and I put in some borax to raise it up. It got to the...

I wish I would have seen these before I spent all that time plumbing that frog infuser into my system. Since it is already...

Hello, my pool is filling as I type. I had my last pool many, too many years ago so basically I know nothing about whats going on these days. Well nothing but what I have read in the last few months in these forums. I am very interested in the BBB system and think that I will end up using it...
