I’m getting concerned with the cost of chlorine. Going over a few older threads I am starting to question if my pool’s chlorine consumption is normal. I have a 15000 gal. Plaster in ground pool. I use about 1/2 a gallon a day of chlorine, is that amount normal? Am I doing anything wrong? I...

Just like the title says. We’re leaving o a 3 week vacation. I am planning to leave the pool covered, at SLAM level (useful going any higher?) and leave a floater with a 6-10 pucks. I have done things similar in the world yet with great success, but have never done it in the middle of the...

Moved from here. Funny to see this post, I have the same issue, and only in the steps of my pool and in the shallow end. see the pictures attached. It seems that brushing helps but i have to do a lot of it to get get the spots from black to gray. today's water results were: PH 7.5 FC 6 CC 0.5...

A few days ago I created a thread because my pool was a horrible mess. I followed the awesome advice given there, and the pool has improved massively. However I still have a question that I'd like to ask. My pool was unattended for 3-4 months, and despite having a pool cover, a fair amount of...

I live in Houston, Tx. for reasons beyond my control my pool has been unattended for the past 3-4 months. It is a green mess. My chemicals (from my TF100 kit) are almost 2 years old (but I keep them inside the house in a dry and dark cabinet). I just ordered a new refill but I want to start...

I have a 15000 gal in-ground plaster pool. currently is covered with a leaf cover so it doesn't get a whole lot of sunshine. Plus, near Houston we are not going to get much sun in the next few days. I just tested the water and here is what I got. PH 8.2+ FC 5 CC .25 TC 5.25 CH 225 TA 100 CYA...

Furtunately I did not suffer any flooding as a consequence of hurricane Harvey, but my water chemistry is all messed up. Please see below: CH went from 325 to 225 TA went from 110 to 70 CYA went from 55 to 30 I concentrated in the first few days in cleaning the pool and SLAMing it. I have...

I am new to the TFP methodology. I started SLAMing my pool 3-4 days before I went on Vacation, following some solid advice from the forums I left the pool with SLAM chlorine levels, covered, and I also put Chlorine pucks in the Chlorinator and in a floater (overkill?). I live in Texas, so it...
