Good afternoon TFP! We have been maintaining our own water with the TFP method since shortly after the pool was finished in March with fantastic picture-perfect results thanks to the help from everyone on this forum. Our PB has been sending one of his guys to our house for the past 6 months to...

Can they peel back the sod before digging through it? That way you can place it back on top after the holes are filled and not have to keep replacing it. Thanks, D

Cliff, Some questions for you on the water hole... 1. Where is your main sprinkler box located in your yard? Is it near that area? 2. Are your sprinklers running off of your septic tank? I'm not an irrigation expert by all means but we a similar issue... We had a constant wet spot in our front...

Yay!!! I'm soooo glad they fixed it for you!! D

Thanks! I'm picky too lol! I also understand how building a pool can be stressful but when it's done you will sit back and enjoy every minute of it! It's the best place to woosa and relax!! Then you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner! So.... hang in there, take a deep breath, and see what...

I'm definitely the type of person that likes things to be just right lol. Good luck and hope they fix it for you!! Let us...

Your pool looks great!! I think "native Texas plants with a hill country feel" behind your pool will look awesome!! Thanks, D

Not going to say anything like that at all because you're not!! :) I'm just glad you figured it out and now you know!! Yay!! I'm still having fun with the CYA test... Do you see the dot... Do you not see the dot lol. Thanks, D

Good morning Cliff!! I'm definitely no expert here but.... I'm also wondering how you are getting FC readings of 1.4 etc. So you fill the cylinder with 10 ml of pool water and then add a heaping scoop of R-0870 and swirl it should turn pink....then you add R-0871 one drop at a time (counting the...

Exactly!!! I was hoping I explained it well enough and you totally got what I meant ;)! You're welcome :) sure hope you can find some space! Thanks, D

Thanks y'all!!! I have to agree...Hubby did do a great job thinking this one up ;) Thanks Suz!! Just a thought here... what if you took this type of idea but did them both level with each other and spread out with the arms pointing vertically...that way you could insert the floats sideways...

Need a simple D.Y.I. idea for float storage? When we are not actively using our floats we store them in a shed away from the pool but we needed a way to keep them out of the pool and off the deck on days when we are using them throughout the day. We used pieces of electrical conduit to assemble...

That looks spectacular!!!! D
