    SWG never had a chance?

    Hello TFP world. You all were so helpful to me in my first year of home ownership learning the basics and helping me to choose a heater in year two. In year three I depended upon a “pool company” to recommend a SWG and man have they been the opposite of helpful to me at every turn. They...

    High Cya and use of a reducer?

    As someone dealing with high CYA (140) and a stubborn “pool guy” Who reassured me that a CYA of 140ppm is fine I think I’ll just stop using Trichlor and go with bleach all summer. I bought two packets of the Bio-Active and I’m not scared to use them. I was even prepared to drop my Chlorine down...
