Is anyone interested in starting a TFP annual get together? It’s been a long time since I have felt connected to a group of nerds like myself and I’m curious if anyone would be interested in starting an annual meet and greet. Obviously it would be a small thing to start but who knows, maybe...

Yes! Thank you.

No, where I can get T-shirts and other pool nerd gear.

Does the TFP store exist anymore? Can’t find it.

Post pictures please!

YES! The monster is almost defeated. Now, you should start looking into how to clean your filters. LOL, going to be a lot of dead algae to clear out.

Updates? Cant wait to see the after pictures

I don't think I could live without you, NewDude. You helped me build and design my pool, pick my equipment, and you regularly answer my questions with patience and easy to understand answers. Thank you.

What do the astrisk mean?

It was halfway to 100. So, is it safe to swim in? How does one fix this?

WHAAAT?! Those rascals didn't even tell me about this as an option. My pool is 9 months old. My pool builder was bought out by another company 2 months after he built my pool, we have no relationship really.

I brought my TF-Pro test kit over to a friends who also has a pool in order to shame him about his inferior pool water quality. I ran some tests and, being a novice, didn't even know what to tell him about how messed up his levels seemed. Can someone explain to me how this happens? He has a...
