Experts, I have a salt pool and recently ordered the Taylor Phosphate test. It tested 6000+ ppb. New'ish pool...opened Oct 2020. I've kept CSI maintained pretty nicely....currently @ -.15 Other specs: Temp 95, TA 90, CYA 70, PH 7.5, Salt 3000, CHL 5.8 I've read that it's no issue if CHL is...

TFP Expert team, I had a pool installed last year....opened it in October 2020. Obsessed with keeping my CSI balanced between +- .3 I have an interesting thing happening though....there appears to be something scale-like forming at the TOP of the tiles....and a thick/weird...

TFP Experts, see picture below: We have a constant wind that blows from the driveway side into the pool side, and proceeds to take all of natures ground-dwelling life and dirt into the pool. Any ideas on how to stop this? I'd like it to look good but at this point I'm ready to throw hardware...

Experts, About to convert from manual chlorine pool SWCG. Here's the issue: I've read several articles on the FC level to maintain based on CYA (currently at 80-90 CYA)...like the SWCG section on this page: Chlorine / CYA Chart - Trouble Free Pool I have a salt test kit now and the salt...

Experts, When using the Pool math calculator from this website (old version)...., what does the Shock Target specify? ounces? Just making sure. Thanks in advance!

We recently got a pool installed and can't wait to get in it. I realize there are lots of opinions on this but will this work? somewhat work? works well? Can I use a large black plastic sheet that covers about 80% of the surface water to heat the pool? Will this really work? AND, what if...

Couple of related questions: 1. Is there an alternative to measuring PH instead of the color comparator? My eyes can't tell the difference between 7.8 and 8.0. 2. Is there a liquid alternative to the DPD powder (R-0870)?

Hi team of experts, I would like to rebalance my cyanuric acid from approximately 90 to 100 back down to about 40 to 50 maybe even 30. My issue is that the pool is three months new...and I remember reading somewhere that you should not empty the pool at all in the first year. I don't...

PoolExperts, could use your insight for a question I have: My calcite saturation index is within acceptable range @ .16 <--- used app.poolcalculator.com My question is this: CSI/LSI is .16, which is acceptable. BUT, my PH is high @ 8.0 (or slightly above 8.0) based on the Taylor K-2006 44 ml...

Hey folks, is there a way to very quickly/simply get a perfect 25 and 44 ml sample? I mean the Taylor tubes work but I always pour out too much and it's become a pain. #FirstWorldProblems There's got to be an answer for this but I can't find it.
