    TF-Pro Salt

    No, not a screw up. Clean both with alcohol and use the same one for chlorine going forward.

    TF-Pro Salt

    That is the one I bought a year ago to start testing. First ever pool installed last year. Seemed a bit overwhelming at first, but honestly, it is something I look forward to.

    Possible algae problem

    And to second @Newdude , last year I tested daily. Going into year two I can see it being every other day/couple of times a week thing now that I am comfortable with SWCG percentages and pump run time.

    What did you do to your pool today?

    Hi from Texas

    I'll chime in as I going into our second summer with our first pool. As mentioned, I did every test almost every day in July/August last year. I was even checking chlorine twice a day in the height of summer to be sure I understood all the ramifications. Had to reorder FC testing agents withing...

    Truly torn - SWG or Chlorine

    +1 for SWCG. Did tons of research beforehand and now I could no imagine having to deal with chlorine daily. So glad I found this group to help me with information last year.
