Clear pool. Rained last night. This was the skimmer. Had roof replaced last 3 days in case it is residual construction effects. What is this? Is it a type of algae? It looks like an oil slick

Hi TFP, It’s been a glorious 2 years of having a crystal clear pool! Thanks TFP! Now my pool looks like everyone else’s though! Somehow, I got an algae problem. Came back from Labor Day trip and thought a bunch of pollen had settled in the pool. Nope, turns out it was algae. Sorry no pic of...

Looking for some advice hear. I finally got my system up and running after a month and half. I always assumed I couldn't get TFP clear water because I was just running a robot and no pump/filter. Well, after starting up the equipment I just can't get my water clear. It appears as there was...

Anyone have any experience managing IntelliBrites through IntelliConnect with the Pentair Home App. I have no idea how to get the single colors or show colors to work properly. I have gotten so far as to getting a case number with Pentair, but I can only stay on hold for so long and when they...

Is there a way to either search Members or set up alerts for members/new members with similar interests/pool set ups? For example, vinyl liner pools in the midwest. Or fiberglass pools down south, plaster pools in Texas, etc... Not that I'm trying to exclude conversations or members from my...

Can anyone tell me the difference between a Pentair IntelliFlo 011028 and a EC-011028? Also, I know there is a SWG forum, but same question for Pentair IC-60 and IC-60P?

Question and Comment 1) My company matches charitable donations our employees make. Since TFP is a 501(c)(3) that qualifies to match my donations. However, there's a form that needs to be completed and mailed in to my company. Who/where should I send that for completion? I know, we're stuck...

Greetings! My M-I-L just bought a house with a Tiger Rivers Spa. It appears to be in good shape and working condition. Two questions: 1) Anything particular we should look for as she gets started with it? 2) TF-100 kit still apply or is there a different way to order test kits for a spa as...

My build is delayed until 2022, but this is something I've thought a lot about. I plan to get the TF-100 (I think that's the right one). Two questions: 1) Give my pool and equipment in my signature, what all should I get with the TF-100? 2) How do color blind people test water? I fail...

I am trying to open a can of worms here because I just can't understand this. If rigid PVC is so superior to flexible PVC (when both are schedule 40) why do half of the builders in my area use flex PVC? They're not fly by night builders either, these are reputable builders that have been doing...

Hi TFP, Hoping to get some input. Still waiting on one more quote, but below and attached are details on the leader so far. Any insight or thoughts on what you see that's right, wrong, or doesn't make any sense would be really appreciated. A few items: 1) The "Premium Backfill" is 304...

After years of wanting and waiting, my wife and I are finally in position to start or pool build project. Of course, we have to get to this point during COVID when pool builders are probably as busy as they have ever been and not hurting for work! I am just in the infancy stages here so had...

All, I thought this might be the best forum to post this question. I'm in planning stages over the next year or so to build an inground vinyl liner pool. How does one determine the appropriate number of skimmers and returns for their pool? I ask because it seems all the suggestions on the...

Hi All, New to TFP! Definitely an awesome resource. I do not currently have a swimming pool. As my signature shows, my wife and I (and 4 little kids) are dreaming of one. Kids are between 1 and 8 years old. Hope is to build the pool by some point in 2021 (or sooner!). Lots of design...
