    Chlorine Loss/Bad Chlorine?

    Splash Thanks for the reply. Yes, I am using a speedster. Yes, I am using a 10 mL sample. My reagents are the ones that originally came in the kit probably a couple of years old possibly more

    Chlorine Loss/Bad Chlorine?

    Gentlemen: Been using the TFP method for years and have enjoyed a crystal clear pool. ( one might say I am fastidious about my water clarity )Recently, we've had alot of rain here in GA. and I noticed a small spot, 2" of yellow algae on the floor and decided to do a SLAM. My pool is in the full...

    Weight of Chlorine in Trichlor tab

    Question: Pool Math asks for weight of chlorine added in ounces when adding Trichlor tabs. Can someone tell me how many ounces of Cl are in a 3" tab, or what value should I add into Pool Math? Thank you

    Cal Hypo Sock

    Hey ya'll. 8200 gall AG pool with DE filter. Been using liq cl but what a pain in the #^%**& to lug around, right? (pool in direct sun all day in Ga and they only sell liquid cl here in 1 gal containers as opposed to the 2 1/2 gal I used to get in Fl) & I'm using from 24-32 ozs of liquid a day...

    New pool - no pump - no circulation

    Recently moved to Ga. Have put in a new A/G 8000G. pool. Unfortunately, it's been full of water for a week without circulation/filtration and it's gonna be another week until I can get an electrician out to hook up my pump. I currently have a couple of floaters going with 3" tabs in there which...

    Help talk me into a stenner

    DSmith99= Thanks for the input. I think I will reproduce exactly what you have outlined. I'm gonna take my shed timer out which will run full time 220V out to the pump pad. I'll mount the pump and new timer you suggested on a small wood panel next to the pad. But I have absolutely no idea how...

    Help talk me into a stenner

    Ronsplc- Very nice setup. I like the way you used the "Y" for the injection site. Did you have to drill and tap that bushing for the injector?

    Help talk me into a stenner

    OK- So I just posted a topic in the water balance forum regarding possibly going back to tabs from liquid due to the large PITA of lugging 2.5 gals of 12.5% bleach. :grrrr: After much appreciated input from those on TFP, trashed that idea. So, I came across this Stenner thread. Just what I...

    Considering going bak to tabs..... Am I crazy??

    Teald- That was EXACTLY the information I was looking for. Unfortunately it looks like I'd be changing water every 3 weeks or so. Since change is a 8-10hr procedure for me, it may not be worth it. When I have my pool dialed in, I am using about 80 oz of Cl liquid per day to cover an approx. 2 -...

    Considering going bak to tabs..... Am I crazy??

    OK So I've been using the TFP system for some time now. I had originally been using tabs and cal hypo for shock. The TFP system has worked, however I am having to drop test for FC every day and add liquid bleach every day. My pool is in the full So Fl sun all day. Needless to say, lugging around...

    Ascorbic Acid Treatment

    Just took a look at Pool Math. For a 10ppm increase in CYA level for my pool size ( to go from my suspected current level of 40 to 50 ), it requires just about 3# (44 oz) of stabilizer. If I was originally at about 30 as I suspected, and added 4# of stabilizer as I mentioned I did, it would have...
