Totally! I did the calcium myself last year..it took me so much longer than him. I did NOT use straight muriatic acid. Now that I saw the process—-yep swindled! LOL TFP has taught me so well in regards the true effort that goes into pool care. It’s easy! Looks like saving myself...

Please let me start this story with I fully believe in paying anyone fairly. I have taken care of my own pool for a year. I follow TFP very well. I have a very tight schedule this month. I hired a brand new pool comp to clean my filter for 85 dollars. I thought it’s a win. I won’t get...

Thank you. The app wants me to stay about 450 as a target. I like 400 better. Why is the range for calcium so much higher on TFP versus other pool sources?

Yes I do.

Please talk to me about calcium. I live in southern Louisiana. We get INCHES of rain at a time. I think I will spend 200 more dollars on top of the 200 I have already spent before the summer is over. I should mention I have a speed stir to check calcium. I lost 50 with the last rain...

My pool also has a auto puck chlorine thing. I turned it off today.

I did find liquid chlorine. My local HD sells it. I am willing to use liquid chlorine. I love taking care of my pool. How will I get the scale off the pool?

Thank you for the help. Yes, I use pucks. I was having to shock my pool two times a week. (Because no chlorine). Which is what prompted me to find Trouble Free pools. My pool store recently about a month ago had me dump baking soda 25 lbs. and then I got the scaling. My water is...
