David....it really is THAT easy...IF....you pay attention to the great folks here and the trove of info on this site. I was in questioning the same things when I found this site this past spring. I read, listened, and asked lots of questions. My pool has never been as pristine clear as it s...

Folks...I've been MIA around here for a bit..just reporting how incredibly the TFP method proved itself through the mess formerly known as IRMA. I had well balanced water 3 days before Irma hit. I had just increased CYA to 50 due to heavy summer rain dilution. Fearing the worst...the day of...

what's the pressure reading you are now getting out of the new gauge on the filter? when you open the air bleed on top of the filter, while not getting water out..does it blow air?

I forget name...but was house brand...1 gallon jug...$1 Bottle did not have % of solution...soooooo I left it all there. So if any of you use it and know it's a good %, enjoy!

Turn the low speed pump on and go look to where there is flow. Sounds like it is a booster pump for the spa. If you see flow in the spa, It most likely is pulling from the spa drain. If not there...keep looking...it's coming from somewhere and going somewhere...

Shame on me for not adding...Post your complete set of test results so the helpful folks here can better assist you. List it like this: FC CC PH TA CH CYA Thanks!

What test kit are you using? If you're using a 25 ml sample for chlorine test then you usually multiply by .2. The .5 multiplier (or dividing by 1/2) is for the 10 ml sample size test. In your example 41 drops X .2 = 8.2 chlorine level...not 20. hope this helps!

I run 90 minutes mid-day to mix during high temps....then again 3 hours from 7-10 PM because this is when I add chemicals if needed...Pool has been crystal clear since completing my Slam the end of May and using TFP methods!

I bought mine about 5 weeks ago...the "swirl to mix" was ending up on the floor...now that I have it it makes my daughters want to learn about testing and help dad out...Gotta love that! :cool:

I ran through 3 navigators in 18 years...basically left it in the pool 4 days a week...took out when boat load of kids were in the pool. They did a decent job until parts started wearing out..which was to me...often. My pool has a lanai..doesn't get much big yard gunk, mainly spanish moss that...

yes...I found the green in grout line yesterday morning..did the OCLT last night and was NO loss. I did lose yesterday but had partially sunny day..so I'm assuming between the sun and the algae...FC was consumed yesterday. FC dropped from 9 - 7.5 yesterday so I upped it to 10 last night.

I am 19 days post slam. My FC target is 7-9..Min of 5...The lowest I have been to is 6.0. I noticed yesterday 3 spots about 2" long at the bottom glass block window line inside my spa that were greenish. I drained spa as I was planning to clean around light and lower spa inlets. I scrubbed areas...

Woohoo is right!...and thanks. I think I'll just let it ride and see what our daily rain does. another 2" and i'll be draining again anyway. Since I'm so new at this I guess just seeing my numbers start to move a bit got me a little nervous... You have to remember, I'm used to the GREEN-NO...

OK experts...I am on day 16 of a TFP sparkling pool. I have not had any issues so to speak. We have been dumped on rain wise the last few days...just shy of 7" in the last 6 days. and more expected as we are in to rainy season in Florida. I have been watching numbers and draining pool level...
