Thank you for the guidance. I couldn’t find much online or on the TFP website in regards to similar instances so I wanted to check with other pool owners for the best steps to take.

Over the past week we have awaken and come home to find two possums dead in our pool on two different occasions. Both were killed by our dog (Akita) with one being beheaded and the other torn open as we found other body parts in the yard. What steps should we take to clean, disinfect our...

Thank you for sharing!!!

Yes. The pool has been completed. We had to obtain help from individual contractors that we found in the area and hired directly. Of course, we have discovered issues here and there with things and the rest we have been figuring out along the way with the help of TFP members. Thank you all again...

Got it thanks. I will try figure out what I am doing wrong, why you can’t see my test results. Maybe there are multiple screens I need to use. Also, good to know I can see the effects of the chemicals. I see it in the options menu now. That will be very useful. Still learning the app… Thanks...

Yes, it is very unfortunate. It totally tainted the build experience for us but we are hoping it will be worth all of the stress once our dealings with him are a thing of the past and we can get to enjoying our pool. (Of course it’s too cold now) We too thought the nerve of this guy wanting to...

Ok so you are correct, lol. I feel so silly. Sorry. My husband brushed this morning so I didn’t think so ask him before panicking and posting a thread. I called him to ask if he had seen the spots and he stated just what you mention, he believes it’s just leaves and debris which they are as they...

Background note: we ended up having to find our own contractors to complete our build (plumbing, electrical, plaster, cleanup) after excuses and issues with our builder. So we finally have the pool complete. It’s been 4 days since plaster was completed and 2 days since fill up finished. We are...
