Thanks so much. Any recommendations on how to get those out without draining the pool. Thanks

Good afternoon, I am trying to identify what type of stains these are on my plaster pool. I live in Florida and sure, do leaves sometimes touch the bottom, yes! But I have never seen these until this year. I keep my water balanced using the SWG suggested Salt Water Chemicals Chart. Recent...

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond!

Good morning, My current water heater (Aqua Cal SQ110) has finally had it's day after 10 years. I am in the market for a new heater. Will probably stick with Aqua Cal. My question is, I am not sure what size I really need. I live in SW FL and I am wondering if I can get a way with the smaller...

Thank you for the quick reply.

Good morning, I have had my Auto Pilot Nano for 5 years and it's not producing chlorine any longer. I called today and the guy, to my surprise, said he's surprised it lasted that long and wasn't crazy about that company any longer. He's trying to sell me a Pentair IC30 and when I searched the...

Thanks for all of your responses. Yes, I do have a heater I am running. Probably not so much in the summer since I live in FL. Not sure about how much flow it takes to get a good waterfall action or even how to test that? It sounds like the Pentair SuperFlo then is a good route to go maybe?

Good evening, I am in the market for a new pool pump and I was looking into variable speed because I've heard they're more energy efficient. I am currently running 1.5 HP (specs below) to power a rock waterfall feature. Originally, I was looking at the Pentair Superflo vs Variable Speed Pump...

Thank you guys for the quick reply.

Good evening, Quick question. I had to shock my pool due to a little bit of yellow algea (which I'm not sure why I developed because I keep my readings up to par using TFP guidelines but this is my 1st incident this year and I live in FL so..) I shocked the pool using liquid chlorine and the...

Hi Guys, Hopefully just a easy question here and I'm just not sure where to navigate to, but I am looking for a question I posted to the forum a couple of months ago and the responses I received. Is there a place somewhere on TFP that saves your forum questions and the responses or no? Thanks...

Thank you Jason!! I will stick to the article and ignore CSI!

Hello, Easy question. One of the first articles I ever read on TFP was the "Recommended Levels for SWG" and I've been targeting those readings to a tee. When I enter in my readings which are : FC = 6.0 CC = 0 pH = 7.5 CYA = 70 CH = 300 ALK = 70 In addition, I also select Type of Pool =...

Update as of 7 PM EST I am not longer getting the drip now however, still would like to know where the O-Ring goes. I ordered a replacement since it was missing. Hello All, I am very frustrated when trying to replace my old cartridge which is a Unicel C-8409 with the same Unicel C-8409. It...
