Ok thank you, I've been going out and squeezing the sock every once in awhile to speed the dissolve up.

So I haven't had to post here since going to this method of maintaining my pool a few years back. But for some reason this year I am having trouble getting chlorine stable. Pool is crystal clear. At 7am my test results were: FC - 6.5 CC - 0.5 PH - 7.8 TA - 50 This evening I retested at 8pm...

I already am a Silver Supporter and I plan on donating every year!

I really wish I could. But if I don't close the first week in September I can't close til the 3rd week in November with no one to add chemicals while I'm gone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Our first year using the TFP method is quickly coming to an end. We usually have to close up the pool early (1st week in September) because of how I work. What an experience it has been. Saved a ton of money, learned a lot about pool chemistry, and have had a crystal clear pool the entire...

Ok will do. Thanks for the help.

4 lbs as directed by the manufacturer in the start up instructions.

It was a brand new pump and filter in May of this year. I have only back washed it 4 times all summer (after finding TFPC). So I have not opened it up this year yet. Was planning on cleaning it at the end of the season before storing for the year.

Im adding the MA to the front of the return in a very small stream into the flow. It is a Hayward DE Filter. - - - Updated - - - Duraleigh, it is when I add Muriatic Acid that I see a spike in my pressure of my pump over the next 24 hours.

So my TA was up to about 200 at one point this year. I have slowly dropped it by adding MA and then letting PH creep back up then add more MA. It is now down about 90 and am fine with that. But every time I add MA to the pool my pump pressure goes up one the next 24 hours to a point where it...

Yeah I have done OCLT many times and the most I lose over nigh is 1 ppm and most nights it was only .5. The last time I did an OCLT was Monday because were away all weekend and had someone adding 2 quarts of chlorine for us per day while we were gone. Low and behold when I tested Monday...

So I usually lose between 1 - 5 ppm of chlorine in any given day depending on sun and temp, over night I only lose max of .5 ppm. Is this normal? We do not keep our pool covered although we do have a solar cover just never use it, and will using the solar cover slow down the chlorine loss...

wish I lived closer to a Menards. The nearest one is 113 miles away.

I was at Wal-Mart in Latrobe, PA and the end cap says $3.64 but at check out it scans as $2.50. Dates on bottles of 16-158. Went back and got 10 more bottles. May go back and get 10 more tomorrow.
