    CH is high, but so are temperatures

    Hello, I have been procrastinating a drain for far too long this year and am not sure how to proceed. My overall pH / FC /CYA balance is doing ok this year, but I did not drain in March as usual and have reached a CH of 675. Pool math says I should drain 33% of the pool, but from my reading...

    OCLT Results at high FC (29)

I've also noticed increased chlorine demand to the point where I've been adding liquid to amend my SWG output. I failed OCLT Friday to Saturday, falling from 4.5 to 3...

    Becoming a pool boy

    Hello! My pool guy went MIA two weeks ago so I guess I have no time to waste becoming a subscriber to the TFP methods. There is no one size fits all answer to everything so just looking for some validation of my approach. The size of your pool in gallons - ~16,000 If your pool is an AG (above...
