I have been using the Pool Math app ever since it was created. You measure, type in the digits, it tells you what to add and how much. It doesn't tell me what you just wrote. ha ha Figuring out how often to run my pump, and what % to keep Salt Cell on to maintain the levels I want/need is what...

So running my VS pump 8 hrs/day is generating approx. 4FC per day. I read on the CYA to FC chart that SWG pools tend to stay Algae free at a lower minimum FC level compared with the minimum FC column for manually dosed pools. So I was keeping it at 6 thinking it would be twice as high as the...

I do not. Not sure how I measure that, honestly. My FC has never been above 10 unless I slam (which I've only ever needed to do twice). I usually keep it around 6 and I test every week. Only drops to 3 FC in a week.

Will do. I never buy anything from them (phosphates is their big push) but I caved on this one. Thanks.

Ok...I will wait it out. I bought some Leslie's Chlor Nuetralizer. Should I keep that out of this equation or use it? I'm not swimming in it, so no real hurry. Thank you for the rapid response.

Hi, I have maintaining my pools regularly with the help of TFP for years. A couple weeks ago, I did my water testing and my chlorine was turning the k1000 orange. So I then did the Chlorine drop test in the TF-100 kit just to get an accurate" FC reading. I stopped counting the R-0871 drops at 30...

It's crazy on all contracting jobs. I've had the same experience with Solar, home remodeling, roof, etc. Literally crazy (and don't get me started on the amount of money people have out here and the great lengths they will go to spend it. ha ha Thank you.

Not yet, but I will reach out. Thank you!

Hi, not sure that I should approach this here, but I've got nothing left to lose. So...I've had about four pool plastering companies come out to quote replastering (and new tile line too) my small'ish pool here in S Cali. ZERO of them will respond to questions asked or even call me back after...

Yeah, I built a pool and spa in TX a couple years ago. I don't mind them, actually.

Thank you. I've had a few companies come out to bid. Two of which built the pool in 2006 (separate companies today). I like them both, actually and can see why they are still in business out here. Anyway, this particular design is by the original builder and he does have the plumbing schematics...

Getting Bids on new spa addition as well as resurfacing pool, new water line tile, coping (poured in place), etc. The question I'm having is this... I really would like the spa (pool level) to be next to the steps (where bench is in Pool2 pic) - which would be easier in my mind since concrete...
