Hello all. I've been a pool owner for about a year, doing the traditional method of having the local store test my chemicals, making some of my own adjustments, and so forth. I've been reading this forum for some time and I like what I'm reading, especially the part about Me being in control rather than relying on other people.
One thing I want to compare is the cost of the method I've been using vs TFP.
Right now, during spring, summer, and early fall months I'm spending approximately $80/mo on tablets, liquid shock, acid, and yellow algaecide.
I'm curious how this compares to those of you who use the TFP method with similar pool characteristics: 10k Gallons, No SWG, southern climate. It seems like the biggest cost would be liquid chlorine. How many gallons are you going through in a month? Looking forward to hearing from you, there is a wealth of knowledge on these forums.
