    Algae?

    Moved from here. This is a great thread and seems entirely applicable to my situation. I'm attaching some photos of I'm observing. I vacuumed everything up last night, and this morning there seems to be a small amount that's accumulated. I'm going to try: Checking the ladders and lights for...

    What is the best Elevator Pitch for TFPC?

    So, this beginner post seems great... I didn't read it all just now, but I've either read the same post, or a dozen other similar ones, and I'm fully sold. I'm an enthusiastic app user. I'll admit, when I was first told about this site as a very new pool owner I gave a passing thought, but...

    Pentair 930 Robot Pool Cleaner - First Impressions

    Spillover Spa Jet replacement

    We had a jet on our spillover Spa break during opening. I can't seem to get a handle on how to source a replacement with my Google-fu. We *think* it's a Fox Pools Spa. I see some pictures of jets that *look* like ours... ish. Are the jet connections universal, or at least there are only a few...

    2-4 Weeks until test kit arrives, warm weekend coming - What can I start now?

    Hi All, Been lurking for a few years, following the local pool store guidance. The first year or 2 was fine, but last year was a certifiable gong show with chemicals. I'm going all in on TFP method, but I only just ordered my test kit today (2-4 weeks to ship). Tomorrow is supposed to be a...
