They told my husband we didn’t get the enhanced closing package (which they never offered or gave us an option) and therefore we didn’t get algaecide. Thanks, that’s more along the lines of what I was thinking about checking, thanks for confirming.

I’m sorry if this is a redundant question, I tried looking this up and reading past posts but not seeing something that answers all my questions. This was our first summer enjoying the inground pool we put in during the spring. We got a free closing with the pool company and because we are so...

😭

Thanks. I look forward to it next year. So far the pool has been crystal clear following TFP. I can’t even imagine where I’d be if i followed the advice of the PB and kept a chlorine level of 1.

So the crazy thing is they didn’t really push it hard on us either, just presented it as an ‘equal to’ option as the swg. As of today it’s unplugged.

There’s room. It’s a bitter pill to swallow after all the expenses but next year is a new one.

Thanks for the insight. What would you do if you were me? Run it this season and ignore its contribution to the pool or just stop running it now?

Oh man! I knew it. I was actually wondering if it was causing our pool to eat through even more chlorine. We had a whole winter to research this before the pool went in and I don’t know why we didn’t. Even when you google it, most sites promote it as a positive “chlorine free” method. I had a...

So last year before we purchased our pool we were set on a Swg. After consulting with the pool store before building, we were presented with more options and sold on going with a UV filter instead. I discovered tfp this summer the week our pool went in. I’m embarrassed I didn’t do more research...

Ok so I added more calcium hypochlorite this morning to get the levels up to 3ppm. We sent a pool water sample to our pool place and they called to say the cya is 10, FC is 0.77 and PH is 6.8. I gathered the water sample 20 minutes after adding chlorine and my strip test showed it at 3ppm. Is...

Does the pool math app help you calculate how much chlorine will equal 1ppm FC?

Thanks for the help! I got the container out of the trash and it said a net weight 2lbs cyanuric acid on it. The pool guy put it directly into the skimmer.

We just put in our first pool and we we had our pool school this weekend and under their guidance added our first chemicals. We were given a pack of strip tests and basically left on our own since it was the long weekend. My brain hurts, I’ve read the articles on this site. I understand the...
