Hi, I've been having some pollen on the surface of the pool and decided to use a skimmer basket sock. Its been collecting what looks like sand but feels very soft. Does anyone know if that is what the pollen looks and feels like? Is it possible my sand filter is blowing out some sand into the...

Hello, Just opened up the pool last week and had crystal clear water thanks to some help from this forum over the years. My chemicals are now completely balanced and my chlorine is holding pretty well. The last few days I noticed clear/white substance floating on the top. I've been trying to...

Hi Everyone, Just wanted to pick everyones brain on this great site. Since using the TFPM about 2 summers ago I've had flawless water and test just about everyday. The only thing I usually have to adjust is the FC. After not being able to test for the last few days(but still adding its usual...

Hi Everyone, I've been using the TFP method for about a month+ and so far so good. I've been testing and adding my bleach at just about the same time every morning. We are currently in a heat wave and my pool has direct sun all day. I'm thinking about the rest of the summer as I seem to...

I've been using the TFPM for about a week or two. My pool gets sun all day long. I seem to lose about 3ppm of FC each day with a CYA of about 80. Is this a normal loss? Also is there a certain time I should test and add my bleach? Thanks.

Hi Everyone I'm a new pool owner and have had it open about a week or so. I've been monitoring my levels daily with both test strips and a Taylor test kit. My Fc and TC levels are even but fairly high, but I think that is ok since my CYA is 80 which already seems high to me. I've had 3" pucks...
