I’m not sure what to do. Can I patch the tear? It’s about 1 inch long.

I'm so disappointed. We had the wall all up then ran out of wall. I ordered a 21' round but received a pool wall for 18' round. Wall circumference measures 56.5' so we are short a little under 10'. Has anyone had this happen before? The label on the pool wall box says WALL IRIS 54 STL WM 21. It...

Thanks Kim, I figured that's how it would be done. Seems like a silly question now in hindsight.

My husband and I have taken down our old Doughboy pool. We are putting up a new 21' Sharkline Venture in the same spot, our Doughboy was the same size. My FIL is coming over tonight with his laser level to check the site level. When we installed our Doughboy we did not use patio pavers under...

Thank you so much! I appreciate your help! I just sent him a PM.

My pool wall on my Doughboy rusted out and split. :( I am ordering a new pool from Pool Supply World today. I read through some older posts and a TFP discount code was mentioned. Can we still get this and if so how do I get it?

I just texted her again. she's going to the store to get bleach now so problem solved. Thank God! She knows how maintenance free my pool is and wants the same. I told her to stop using that cartridge and when she gets home to put in 40 oz of bleach. Hopefully that will raise her FC to a 4...

Yes that's what I read too. I'm hoping she will take my advice and not use it but if she doesn't want to remove it then I'm not sure how much stabilizer to add.

My neighbor just had her pool installed and she has the Aqua Smarte System. Just got on here today and read about this system. I've already texted her about possibly not using this at all and just going with the bleach. Question is, I know that this system adds CYA to the water but does...

Try a magic eraser on that ring!

To slam your pool with a CYA level of 20 your FC needs to stay at 10 at all times. If your CYA is at 30 you need to keep your FC at 12. I would keep it at 12 to be safe. Your FC level of 5ppm is more of your target when not slamming your pool. Raising your FC to 10-12 will in no way harm your...

Yes, my pump has been running non stop since Sunday when we opened. I took the test water from the opposite side of the return about a foot down. I will be adding bleach this evening. I'm going to add it in 2 steps tonight. I'll test after each addition and see what I come up with. I will...

No not at all. I'm going to really study my next couple weeks testing results after adding my bleach. I tested a few minutes ago and I lost 2.5ppm of bleach since last night so I should be good to wait until tomorrow to add again.

I targeted a liitle higher due to upcomming rain, (didn't want to have to add bleach in the rain). It hadn't rained enough prior to mess with the testing. My pump has been running 24/7 right now as well.

This will be my 3rd year using the TFP method with the same pool. For whatever reason, when I added bleach last night to the pool it took the FC level up higher than I anticipated. My pool is aprox. 9,300 gallons (21 ft round by 3.58 inches deep). I used the pool calculator to figure raising my...
