Looking at my receipt looks like I got the tf-100 refill. We did get the tf-100 at some point in the past few years so I just reordered, but only found that comparator block in our pool stuff. Guess I need to go hunting in the shed.?

Thanks for the quick response. Not seeing any calcium scale, so won't worry about it yet. R-0014 pH indicator solution. Best by 9/21. Lot D3132. Freshly bought from tftestkits in May.

Opening the pool this year was a crapshoot. With a new baby distracting us, spring flooding and pump issues we opened late to the swampiest swamp we've ever had. After a week of slamming it was finally clear so we let the FC drift down. Today I tested with the following results: FC: 6.5 CYA...

I would love to have some opinions on our plans for the pool this year. Towards the end of last season, our single speed pump died, so we replaced it with a Pentair SuperFlo VS before we closed the pool ourselves Now, we've decided to do some upgrades before opening the pool this year. 1...

Woohoo! I can see the main drain today :) Added some DE and hopefully it will clear up the last of the cloudy before I let FC drift to 5-7 Thanks :)

I am noticing it getting slightly better each day. Today the OCLT was 0 :D and CC was .2 This morning I can see the robot in the deep end and the shallow end is sparkling. I can't quite make out the main drain yet. I am going to add some DE to the filter today and keep FC around 16 for a little...

I have never deep cleaned the sand or the filter. Should that be my next step? I cannot tell what the size is, the sticker is gone except for the part that says Pac Fab. How can I figure that out? The pump is a STA-RITE pump model P6EA6E-205L and there is a booster pump for the Polaris

I attempted to use the combo vac, but I got nothing into the bag. In case I was doing something wrong, I tried my Catfish pool blaster and it also picked up nothing from the deep end. I even checked the Polaris and its bag is also clean. It seems there is no debris at the bottom. I am at a loss...

Thanks spinhd, I just went to Leslie's and was able to pick up a similar vacuum. (much cheaper and useful than the regular manual vacuum I was going to get) After I posted this morning, I cleared out the bag from the Polaris and realized what was going on. We had our siding redone in the...

This morning at 5 am I added 105 Oz of 12.5. I tested at 9:30 am, FC was at 14. I added another 70 Oz to keep it at 16. I am starting to wonder if I should pick up a manual vacuum to get to whatever is at the bottom of the deep end since the Polaris isn't getting whatever is causing this...

I am not sure why it's not displaying my signature, perhaps it is because I am on my phone? The box to display it is checked both on the post and in my profile though. *edit : looks like on my phone when I just clicked quick reply it didn't add the signature, this time I went to advanced and...
