Hi there - thanks for checking on me. Our pool looks great. I went through the SLAM and have made a believer out of my skeptical husband. I'm sure I will have more questions, but for the time being, the pool is great.

I think he is open to changing to the TFP method, but says he doesn't want to switch out the sand so he wants to wait until next year. I don't know anything about converting.

Can anyone show me what white water mold looks like? I am talking to a friend's father and he has a 32' above ground Baquacil pool and has white foamy stuff in the skimmers and the water is not clear. I'm trying to help him out but know nothing about Baquacil or the white foamy stuff.

Thank you for the replies. What would you consider very high CH?

Our pool was completed mid July 2016. I had read about the TFP way and just wasn't confident enough to try it and used tricolor tabs because everyone I knew acted like I was crazy for doing anything else. Now I'm paying for it, I'm afraid. We put in a sprinkler system over the past month...

Thanks! I have the TF-100 Test Kit...maybe I should add that to the signature, too.

I am needing some help, so I thought I better to have all my ducks in a row :)

Just testing to check my signature...
