Hi everyone, To start the season I've been using liquid chlorine that I didn't end up using last year. What I've found so far is that I need to add approximately 2oz over what the TFP App recommends to raise my FC to the desired level. Am I more at risk for growth in the pool if I take this...

I'm trying to set up a solar heating rig for my small Intex pool but I'm having trouble finding filter hoses that run more than 12 ft long. Has anyone tried using a sump pump hose as an alternative when more length is needed?
