Can't get a clear bottom picture with all of the wind lately. I still need to power wash the deck. I'm waiting for the last of the pollen to drop, which should be done about now. Periwinkles are starting to regrow in the pots. And the fill in crepe myrtles are also growing, filling in the loss of the citrus trees from 2021.
Here is the "Blue T-2000" cleaning the pool, since T.O.M. has a blocked impeller.

This is NOT a TFP clear pool under regular maintenance... This is a TFP pool that had its winter cover removed and absolutely nothing else.
(If you look carefully there are 4 leaves on the top right side of the picture that spent the winter in the water)

'TFP clear at opening' is subdivision of 'TFP clear', and if i do say so myself, probably better than your neighbor gets all season.
WELL done and get that bad boy polished up for its fully TFP clear pics.

It doesn't get much better than that... that white line on the left bottom side is actually a crack on my phone lens... same thing on top left.'TFP clear at opening' is subdivision of 'TFP clear', and if i do say so myself, probably better than your neighbor gets all season.

Pulled the cover off today & my hand went right through it! But the water is clear as a bell! There was some sediment on the bottom as to be expected- I found several holes in the cover 
I ran Robert for 2 hrs- pics in the AM !

Here’s the pics - hard to see how exceptionally clear it is because I have my jet bubbling on the surface right now.

When I’m in my oasis I try to face the house & not have my vibe disrupted by “the man zone” 
My hubs would be jealous of that garage you got going on there.When I’m in my oasis I try to face the house & not have my vibe disrupted by “the man zone”

It definitely sold him on the house! As it’s bigger than our house.
Here in the south we call it a shop if its not attached to your house
Not sure why really- growing up we had a “shop” too. When I think of a garage I think of parking in it daily - we use our carport for that. Lol
I really like your pool. Its refreshing to see a round pool. Do you have to stain the deck periodically? Its very handsome.

I use ready seal - its like a stain & sealer in one. To recoat you just spray it down with bleach water & rinse then re apply once it’s dry. No stripping/pressure washing necessary or anything. U can use a pump garden sprayer to apply or whatever u want. I did 2 coats in March 2020 & plan to do another coat this fall or maybe sooner cuz I already did a portion when I did the large bench that I can’t move. They recommend every 3-5 yrs.

Hold up. You're new so you get a free pass this time. But don't ever come up in this house again talking about a 60 FOOT POOL without a pic of that stunning beauty.
If you bring it up, we are going to need to see it, lest it didn't happen per the commonly accepted rules of the interwebs.
Also, Welcome !!!!!!
I never thought I'd be TFP clear so quickly as a new pool owner. This group is the best! Thanks all.

First week of being a pool owner, and with the help of TFP and especially @Texas Splash my water is crystal clear!! You guys have taken an extremely overwhelming process and made it simple! From repairing my sand filter to adjusting chemicals, I literally could not have done it without you!

Still have a lot of work to do to get the pool area looking great. But here's a pic before slamming.*record scratch*

Last year as new pool owners, my wife found TFP in June and I had things cleared up (sky high CYA and TA) by August. Installed SWG and got a robot. I didn't even bother with closing down over the winter, and we're already started on the second season.
TFP clear for me means I can see the individual RBG LEDs reflected off the ripples back to the floor of the pool .
Season 1 mood: neurotic.
Season 2 mood: bored.
