Hello, I am about to re-do my pad. Getting into the reason is not important now. I would like to reuse the fittings for the filter and reuse my jandy valves. Unfortunately there is now elbows and forty-fives glued up against them. So no exposed pipe to work with. i know there are reamers on the...

Hello, I currently have an older Pentair FNS Nautilus DE60. I am wanting to replace it with a new Pentair FNS Plus 60. Will the new filter plug right up to the push pull from the older filter. ThankYou-

Hello, Some of y’all have been following my dilemma with my Circupool SWCG. As of today, I think I finally spoke with someone that was actually willing to listen and help. This gentleman has set me up with a refurbished power supply and a new cell. But before I install them, I just wanted to...

Hello, My continuing saga with Circupool has led me to look at other brands. The real problem is that my pool is 35000 gallons in the Texas heat. The saga can be read here: Can’t recommend Cirrcupool anymore I don’t think the IC60, even it can find one for sale, is enough. What other brands...

For those that are considering switching to salt.… We became new pool owners in April of 2014. That led me to this page trying to learn everything I could about pools. What to do….What not to do….etc. We tried using pucks, powders, and liquid chlorine, but just weren’t happy. There had to be a...

Good Morning, I have been trying to figure out why my FC numbers have been dropping. I did an OCLT....it equals zero. I checked the warning light on the unit....not on. Thought maybe all the rain we have been having was diluting the water. I turned up the CL output, but the FC continued to...

Hello All, I am curious to hear from others who run their pump 24 hours a day. We have a SWG and a two speed pump. Running the pump on low rpm, 24 hours a day, we get about 17 days between backwashes. Just wondering in that is close to others normal. btw... we don’t have an algae problem at...

Hello, We are currently shopping for a robot. The problem is that we need a really long cord. What is on the market with a 100 foot cord? A 75 foot cord is just not long enough to get from the closest outlet to the far end of the pool. ThankYou, Bryan

Good Afternnon, We have been maintaining our pool via the TFP methods for many years. We have not had ANY problems to speak of in several years. This summer, I think we see some calcium precipitate on the pool walls. It reminds me of a saltwater aquarium that is run with the TA or Calcium too...

Just a little water testing good news. We had a pool party/BBQ yesterday, and after 20+ people/kids being in the pool all afternoon, I thought our chlorine would be ZERO! We usually run our pool a little “hot” on the chlorine, usually between 8-10ppm with a cya of 80. Fast forward to this...

Hello, Yesterday I had a question about wiring up variable speed pump with a SWCG. (all of those were answered) But the discussion led me down a path of curiosity. Curiosity about cost and complication of a basic automation system. Basic because my pool is a single body of water (no spa) and...

This topic seems to have been beat to death, but I can’t find the answer I am looking for. The pool currently has a single speed 1.5hp pump. It has been rebuilt several times, and now needs to be rebuilt again. Instead of doing that, I am going to order a Pentair 011018 variable speed pump...

Hello, just a a little curiosity. I probably could have dug around on the web a little longer to find the answer, but others on TFP might be curious too. I am not a chemist, this is going to make chemists cringe.... Scenario 1. I pour some sodium hypochlorite (bleach) in the pool to add...

Hello, i am am looking for some options on PH control. Here is the history. We are not new pool owners or new to the TFP way of doing things. We were actually BB(B) method before we found this amazing message board. Our pool has always needed MA on a regular basis, even before we added the SWG...

Now the question, does the brand matter? I won't be getting liquid. If I understand, just put the powder in a sock and put the sock in a skimmer basket? Thank You, Bryan

Hello, Long time lurker...first time posting. I have been using the TFP methods for 2 years now. I am in the process of converting my 36,000 gallon in ground pool over to salt, and maybe I am overlooking some basic chemistry/math. I know that I have seen a table that will calculate the SWG...
