Hey everyone! We bought our house in 2020 that was built in 1974. The pool was put in summer of 76. While the pool and all the components are in great shape, the concrete has seem better days. I have spent the better part of 2 days pressure washing the dirt and grime off of most of it. However...

Hey guys! This is for all you who are searching or have just now found TFP. For the second season in a row, I have closed my pool exactly how TFP recommends. Last March I opened to blue water, and without fail yesterday I pulled my cover off and loved what I saw. Crystal clear blue water. Trust...

Hey guys, So this is the third season since we moved into this house with the pool. There is a light at the end of the pool that doesnt work. The last two summers I havent worried with it. But now I would like to see If i can get it to work. There are a few screws that hold the cover on, and...

Hey guys! Its April 3, and yesterday I pulled back the cover to reveal crystal clear blue water. There was quite a bit of leaves that I had to remove, but man was it good not to see green. Just want to say thanks to all of you who helped me last year with my swamp. Looking forward to a new pool...

Hey guys, I'm closing my pool myself for the first time. Mainly because I dont want to give my pool store any more money. $200 to close, I'd rather learn myself and not have to fool with them. When they closed it last year, I took detailed notes and pictures to ensure I could repeat it this...

Hey guys, I just completed a 70% water exchange on my 33000g I/G pool. Nearing the end, I could finally see the floor drain for the first time in months. After it completed, I brought my pool levels up to near perfect. Then I vacuumed the pool floor because of the algea build up. Now the pool...

Hey guys, Just need some clarification on numbers in pool math. So my FC Level is 4 (as per my test results yesterday). When I go to pool math and use the 'effects of adding' feature, I asked what would happen if I added 3 gallons of 10% liquid chlorine. It said it would raise my FC levels...

Hey guys, I joined TFP last week, and learned a whole lot. I am waiting on my TF-100 pool test kit to come hopefully tomorrow or friday. Until then, I've added quite a bit of FC to combat my algae problem. I'm almost there, just see new algae collect or grow on the floor of the pool after I...

Hey guys, I came home from vacation last week to a green swamp. I'm new to this, and sick of the pool store prices. I dumped 36 lbs of shock and 12 gallons of liquid chlorine in the water over 4 days which brought mu FC initially up to 3. The water went from green to less green to where were at...

Hey guys. I wanted to update my signature but cant figure out how to edit it. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Hey everyone! We purchased a house in March 2020 that came with a 20x40 (30,000 Gallon) pool. I have never had a pool before, and last year was pretty easy (I really dont know why). This year has been a nightmare. I have spent roughly $1500 in pool chemicals only to keep spending to fight the...
