Just like the title says.....last year I got on the TFP method a little bit into the season, but I followed the directions for closing and when I started to roll away the winter cover (after getting the leaf net off and pulling up as much water as I could so all that was left was quite a bit of...

Thanks folks. This is my third season as a pool owner and first using TFP (minus the initial start when I still used chlorine tablets). Came home from vacation Tuesday night and saw the water and immediately started the SLAM. These pics are Tuesday night to Saturday morning and 4 gallons of...

Got home from out of town a week ago, water was a little green. Been doing SLAM for a week and think I’m finally finished. Passed OCLT, CC is 0, and water could be clearer but my TA was high when I started. All in, dumped about 10 gallons of bleach in, roughly cost $50 total. This is my first...

Preface: this is my first season using the TFP way and still learning the ins and outs of it all. I can’t seem to get my alkalinity down! Added 2C of muriatic acid yesterday, but since I started testing earlier this month it’s been over 100. Trying to follow the app recommendations but it just...

It’s been a week (or closer to a couple, haven’t been in the pool since 6/1 and the solar cover has been on, but it’s a tad too small so it’s not completely covered). Just checked things and my super high chlorine levels from 10 days ago are non existent. (Using the Taylor K100 or whatever it...

I have the Taylor k-100 test kit and just checked everything (except calcium hardness) and my alkalinity is still high and the app says to lower my pH down to 7.0-7.2 with acid, but when I check the recommendation for pH it wants me to add 11oz of borax to raise the pH. So is this when I need to...

Hi all! This is my second full season as a pool owner (Sharkline 21’ round, 54” deep that was my Covid mid life crisis purchase in 2020 😂). This is my first year for DIY with the things. Already saved $250 by having a friend help me open it 2 weeks ago and just downloaded the Pool Math app and...
