I just purchased 2 inexpensive alcohol filled LIG(liquid-in-glass) thermometers for the pool. Sitting side by side 1 is consistently reading 3deg higher than the other and then I noticed both have a black horizontal line marked on the glass, one lining up about 70Fdeg(~21C) and one lining up...

Moving is hard enough, but moving clear across the country and having NO clue about pools, and soon discovering it is like having a pet that needs constant attention.... Thank You for being here to help me learn. Seems all google roads for pool help lead to TFP. At least the ones that aren't...

I recently bought a home with an inground pool in need of some repairs. I'm learning as I go since this is my first pool. Currently have yard dug up to fix +9,000gal monthly water usage (found 1.5" pipe completely split in half) and replace valves at the pump area while its out of service. So...
