We have one and it's a very short setback from the pool. Maybe only a few feet at the narrowest point. It doesn't really allow for a chair but it's not that big of a deal. We are either swimming with the kids or we are sitting further back in the lanai lounging on our couch watching the kids...

Exactly on the CYA! City water is expensive so I'm limping my pool along until I drain for the remodel. I just recently found the TFP method so I quit pucks a few weeks ago. I wasn't looking to adjust TA, just wondering why Pool Math doesn't have a larger range or isn't 100% consistent with...

So talk to me about TA. In the Pool Math app, it sets my goal TA to 70-90. However, in the instructions for TF testing kit it says "Good TA readings will be around 100-120 for manually chlorinated pools" Why doesn't Pool Math have a different goal for TA. Or at least a larger goal range to...

The new plaster pushed me to learning more and taking charge. Before that, prob too busy with my two year old twins and the move across the country. First pool and we have been here for 1.5 years. Just enough to get “settled”. Lol

I found TFP last year but didn’t follow any of the methods until recently. I got the TF-100 and app and my pool has never looked better. I can’t believe the difference good chemistry makes. I swear some of our very old plaster stains are looking better just after a week. We are getting new...

BTW, paint mixing containers for the win. Got a 2qt bucket for a few dollars in the paint section. Wide base for stability when pouring.

Thanks everyone for the replies. A lot of good ideas on here!

Hi All, What do you use to measure your chlorine? I'm looking to see if anyone has a great measuring device that they love to use or have any recommendations. Or do most people just pour our of a jug and guesstimate? I use 2.5 gal containers right now and it is difficult to estimate amounts...

Thanks. This is what I was hoping to hear. I retested my CYA using a diluted sample and the CYA is about 140. So twice what it should be. I'll keep a close eye on everything and drain some if I need. They may re-plaster as soon as 4 weeks. We are getting pavers done at the same time so it...

Hi all. I'm a noobie with the TFP method. I just got my TF-100 and I recently learned the connection between CYA and FC levels. Last year I would take a sample to the pool store weekly - every 2 weeks, but everything was always within range so I stopped that about a year ago. Last summer to...
