Hello all. I’m new to the forum, lots of great info here. I’ve had a 21’ above ground pool for the last two summers. So far no issues, water has been clean and used daily. We currently have an inline chlorinator, which other than flying through the v-pack cartridges, we haven’t had any issues. I’ve just been testing the pool daily with test strips, and maybe once a month at the pool store. I’m learning now, and just purchased a good Taylor test kit, and thinking about going away from the chlorinator. As of yesterday, we have a white film just at the waterline around the pool, that easily rubs off. I’ll post a pic of that, and a pic of my last results from the pool store, which I understand now aren’t always the most accurate. Up until now, I’ve been letting the chlorinator do it’s thing, and maybe once a week or two, shock the pool if I notice it getting a little cloudy, and it’s good to go by the next day. I also noticed after my last shock, it took days for the chlorine level to come down a bit when it’s normally pretty quick due to the amount of sun exposure it gets and use. I should add, due to my job, I’m gone 24hrs at a time, sometimes 48hr, would I still be able to use the TFPC method of maintaining the pool if I’m not there every day to test? I’m usually home about 4 days a week. Any thoughts? Thanks
