I'm still fairly new to the TFP approach and gaining knowledge instead of listening to the pool stores (this is my first year). Could you explain what the Overnight Chlorine Loss Test does compared to looking at just CC during a regular daily test? If combined chlorine is 0, can there still be...

hmmm I had not heard of this before. When I installed the SWCG the company that did so just dumped the salt in and already had the SWCG running and said "keep checking the light on the SWCG. Once it is green, you know you have enough salt". I have an IntelChlor 40 SWG. Could I have...

Thanks for the replies. I've turned on CSI tracking - good tip - I didn't know what that was. I have enough salt in there now so I'm generating chlorine after supplementing with Liquid shock for a day or 2. I think I'm on the road to recovery here. Thanks all!

Also, in the above post, that picture is just to show where the levels used to be a week prior. I know CYA is not on there, but it was at about 60 (something I was working on increasing to 70). And I know my FC was a little high for CYA only at 60 . . .

I switched to a SWG pool over the winter and have followed the TFP method since switching with fantastic results. I really feel like I "know" my pool much better than ever. Things were great. . . I went away on vacation and a "helpful" pool sitter accidentally left the hose running in my...

To further incriminate myself 3" tabs was my primary source of chlorine along with Calcium Hypochlorite Granular to shock. After my battles with an increasing CYA, I guess you could say I'm a full convert. Yes, I admittedly "interpolated" between the lines. And thanks for the encouragement on...

I've maintained my pool for 6 years by just going to the pool store and having them test. I used 3" chlorine tabs up until this year. I know that's a cardinal sin on here. 3 years ago, I completely drained and re-plastered the pool. So, I've had maybe 2 full years of using the tabs in this...
