    What is the issue with CYA at 80ppm?

    Yes! I installed a Circupool Core 55 last year on my AGP and it was super easy. I already had my filter and heater plumbed with PVC so it was just a matter of plumbing the SWG inline with some PVC reducers. I even hard wired it to my pump timer so it only has power when the pumps running. The...

    My Pool is a Mess and I've Decided to Switch to the TFP Method - First TF-100 Tests!

    So I've patched all the tears that I could find, refilled the pool, and completed plumbing in the SWG yesterday (no power) so I could run the filter again. I took the filter apart and rinsed it clean, so I added a fresh 5lbs of DE as well. Yesterday I did see a few water boatman and this...

    My Pool is a Mess and I've Decided to Switch to the TFP Method - First TF-100 Tests!

    Hey all, Been lurking around the forums for quite a while, it was super helpful when I decided to install my heat pump myself and plumb everything with PVC last season. Since my pool was installed in 2020, I've been using Enjoy Once-a-Week based on a neighbors recommendation. It was actually...
