Hello all, this is our third year enjoy your saltwater pool in Texas. We follow the TFP method and use the app to balance our water. That being said during the summer it is a struggle to keep the chlorine where it needs to be. We run our salt cell and pump 12 hours a day at 70% output and keep...

Hello, we had our pump stop working 2.5 weeks ago and have been going through the warranty process to have it replaced. To prevent algae I’ve been basically adding a gallon or more of chlorine to the water every other day and skimming/brushing it. That being said it’s been sitting with the pump...

Hello! We are almost a full year into pool ownership and so far following TFP methods has kept our pool clear and easy to maintain.

I have been working on my getting my chlorine levels up, this morning added a gallon of chlorine and Acid. We had a quick rainfall about an hour ago but it passed quickly. The kids want to swim, is that generally ok or do I need to test or do anything or can I just add more chlorine tomorrow...

Brand new pool owner. Will be a SWG after initial 30 days allowing plaster to cure but for now using liquid chlorine and we can’t seem to get it balanced. We are adding muriatic acid a few times a week to keep PH down (ready this was normal initially) and using liquid chlorine 12.5% I added an...

Brand new pool owner here, we are in the design phase of a new SWG pool in Leander, TX. After being told not to do salt water by several pool builders we have finally found a PB we are happy with and that will build us the pool we want. Although, he did say he doesn’t love SWG systems as he is...
