So basically there is no rest for the weary with this... Test and add daily. What happens if you leave town for a few days? Just super dose before you go? Sent from my XT1049 using Tapatalk

Sorry about that...you'd think after being on forums for years I'd know better. :)

Hey guys/gals, So I decided to go the TFP way. I've been testing my water every day, usually twice. Within the first 5 days I got my CYA up to ~35. I used the instant liquid stuff, which worked great...the dot test on my TF100 (or whatever the test kit they sell here at the store) took a...

Can't believe nobody has any experience with this...I must be really good at pool building. ;-)

So, my poor old well has expelled the last of the 13,500 gallons needed to fill the pool. The DE filter is humming along, and charged with 4 lbs. of DE. I threw in a bottle of bleach and a bottle of 'instant conditioner'. I took some initial readings. This was about an hour after adding the...

I think that either I didn't have the liner aligned right and it's stretched tight in parts and twisted in others and/or I built my berm around the bottom a little too tall and the liner just has a little extra around the top. It's a v-bead liner... Anyway, was wondering if anyone could lend...

Hey guys, So my pool is full and was able to finally turn on the filter. About 60% of the liner looks great, above the water line. The other 40%...well, it looks like this: - - - Updated - - - And this...

Thanks for that. So, the HTH brand @ Walmart looks to be 15 oz for $15ish...and poolmath says I need ~56 oz. So, that's be 4 of those cannisters or $60. For liquid it says I need 140oz. and a gallon is $25...so I'd have to buy 2 gallons, which would be $50. Am I missing something?

Hey folks, So I finally have enough water in my 24 ft above ground (13.5k gallon) pool to turn on the filter. Have a Hayward DE filter, 3/4 HP pump My pool was filled with my well. The pH is 7.8 FC is...well, gone every day. ;-) CYA is 0 I'd like to get in this thing as soon as possible...

Hey guys, I put up a 24 ft round pool and the liner seems like it has too much material at the top. Where I need to cut for the skimmer, now that I'm almost filled, it's billowed out quite a bit. Kind of worries me. It's a v-bead that is sized for my pool. Maybe I made the mound around the...

Well, you've always been a bit of a pessimist. ;-)

True...but it's less than half full, as per the initial post. Thanks though! I need all the help I can get on this one. :)

Gotcha...just ordered the kit you linked to. Was on the fence because of the shipping...buuuuut...pulled the trigger. :)
