Hello, I had a pool and got very comfortable with the TFP methods of maintaining it, and loved it! This place is awesome. Now I no longer have the pool, but I have a 2008 Hotsprings Jetsetter JJ Spa (225 gallons) and I have several questions in general about spas, but more specifically with...

Hello, See the pictures, my brick is in good shape, I like it, but the grout in between is really deteriorated. What's the best way to get it nice and smooth and filled in again? I've seen the tubes in the stores, it seems like that can add up really fast is I have to do every brick? But...

Hey, In one month of owning a pool, I have to add water it seems every week or two because it's dropping an inch or more every week or two. I didn't track it closely though. So I went on a 5 day trip, and came back and it lost at least an inch, probably closer to two. I haven't been keeping a...

I attempted to do the FC test for the first time and I'm having issues. First off, adding the powder makes it cloudy. The questions section says add dpd 1 and 2 first, then continue the test. My kit doesn't seem to have that. What do I do? Secondly, it doesn't turn pink. Maybe very very...

I apologize, as I was planning on spending some time writing my first post and getting settled in here, studying and reading as much as a could but now I have an emergency! I was planning on upgrading my pump to a VS speed anyways and starting researching, when last night my pump started...
