Last week I tested my my FC and it was at 1.5, I raised my SWCG to 45% and I run my VSP 24 hours. This is the highest I’ve ever had the SWCG, it usually is between 25% and 35%. I just tested again and I’m still at 1.5 FC. CC is 0 and CYA is a little low at 60. We have had full sun the past week...

Good morning everyone, I don’t think I these two things are related but mentioning them for completeness. We had some storms roll through Wednesday night and while we didn’t lose power the lights flickered a couple of times. We went out to swim Thursday afternoon and I noticed the pool was a...

Hey everyone, I'm getting ready to open the pool next week and fixed up my rock bubbler this week. We had issues with horseflies last year and after doing some reading they like to lay eggs in wet rocky areas. I have a rock bubbler that recycles water from a hidden basin under some river rock...

I could use some help with this one. Pool was filled in May, I've been the only one to put chemicals in and have been following the TFP method with the poolmath app. I've had no issues with the water but recently I've noticed my dog has had the slightest tinge of green on his legs where he walks...

The water from my tap is reading CH of 100, should I be concerned and have them truck the water in instead? TA is 70 and PH is 7.2. Should I test anything else?

Hey everyone, we are getting ready to finish out build in the next few weeks. Tile is getting installed today. We are at the point where we need to determine the finish. The upgrades my PB is quoting on tinted plaster, Diamond Brite, and PebbleFina seem pretty high to me (2x what I was...

I had my builder run the gas, electrical, and heater bypass for a 400BTU Jandy JXI heater. Plan was to install the heater later. I just asked for a quote to install the heater and it was $7K. That seems extremely high for what I imagine is a pretty simply drop in install. Any thoughts? How...

Hey Everyone, after researching and scouring this site for almost a year we finally have everything lined up to build our pool (and start our own build thread!). We've met with a few pbs and so far we are very happy with the one we are going with. We should be finalizing everything in the next...

Hello! We are getting ready to sign contract with a pb and looking for input on pool finish. Planning on a freeform gunite pool with tanning ledge. We visited some pools built by our builder and liked the smoothness of pebblefina but have some concerns about it mottling. If the pebblefina is...

So we are planning our pool project and budget and I know you can go back and put stone over a concrete patio which is what we are thinking of doing but what about the coping? The poured concrete would be cantilever over the edge (FG pool). How would you go back and put stone over the concrete...

Hey everyone, I've been stalking TFP for over a year now and I think we're finally ready to take the plunge. I'm pretty set on FG and we found a PB that installs Viking. We were originally going to go with the Coronado or the Cancun models but the pool at our gym has a large bench in the shallow...
