Hello Everyone,
Just moved to Arizona from the PNW. Love the desert! I haven't had a pool to care for since 1990... a lot has changed since than, way too many chemicals, and new products every pool owner must have. What happened to Acid, and Chlorine as the main chemicals to keep a pool happy?
I have a Pentair saltwater pool and for the last 3 months have been trying to get things in balance...which is a balancing act.
Several times I've had questions, and Google brings up TFP, so I decided to join and hopefully get some sound advice, as well as share my experiences, both positive and challenging.

Big,

Welcome to TFP... The best place to learn how to maintain a saltwater pool... :shark:

There are three things that make pool care easier.

1. Having a Saltwater pool.. (You go this one.)
2. Having the ability to accurately test your own pool water. (You will need a recommended test kit)
3. Become a member of TFP.. (Looks like you already checked this box)

You will find that we do things a lot different than most pool care websites. :mrgreen:

Thanks,

Jim R.
