My daughter who is 13 now does test and chems. The tfp way

I messed up. My FC level has been at 23 fc with 2 CC with a cta level of 50. 3 days now. Would it be safe to swim in today?

Here are some measurements cant find the appropriate room to install my new SWG. Can someone please help me with locations or a possible resolution to my problem. Thank you in advanced.

I have been reading about cya/chlorine relationships. What I am having a hard time figuring out is how the 7.5x your cya is what you want in FC. From what I have read it only takes 50-100 ppb of HOCI (hyprochlorous acid) to sanitize. How I understand it chlorine turns into HOCI when combined...

My bird dog's learning to fetch in water. Best Tuesday ever.

The wife is having issues with the 1500 dollar RJ60+ price. I told her the ROI will be worth it. Considering the cost of LC and using about 1/2 gallon a day. Anyone good at maths that can figure out the savings. I'm not entirely sure how to change LBs of chlorine to gallons of 10% at 10.88 for 2...

Quick question, My FC drops below the minimum before I top it up in the evening. Is this something to be concerned about?

Went in to get my water tested, just for fun. Fc 6.75 they said anything above 10 can give my girls a UTI. True or false? Cya: 68 they said thats fine Ph: 7.8 too high( when I tested I got 7.6) Ch:350 (I got about the same. It's hard for me to read the test) Phosphates:960 I guess that's...

Tried adding a picture of my pool equipment. For some reason it won't let me. Anyway I was looking at the rj60 plus but having the infloor cleaning system I'm not sure it will work.

I feel like that guy that calls only when he needs something. I just want to say thank you to all who helps everyone in the forum. It is truly an amazing group and I'm glad I found trouble-freepool before I even started my pool up. You guys are absolutely amazing. Thank you for all the...

My water softener is connected to my pool. The spigot out side is plumed to the softener. My sodium levels are climing drastically. 3000 ppm and I just filled the pool in March. Was not filled with soft water. I just tested the water from the spigot and the sodium level is 2000 ppm. I know my...

I am having issues with my pH dropping to 7 every 2 days. I will run my water falls and aerate it will get to 8 then drop back to 7 2 days later. My TA is at 80.

My pool was filled with the water softener off. I have a total hardness of 200ppm at the moment but want to bring it up too 350ppm so I don't have to worry about my plaster getting ruined. Will this be too high. Pool store calcium is super expensive. Can I have a list of alternatives? Will ice...

So I put too much muriatic in my pool, the TA is sitting around 70 and the pH is below 7.0 the base demand was 10 drops. I can't find borax and don't want my new pools finish to get messed up. Help.

Got the pool started up yesterday. Kids got home and seen the pool was full and got in. Builder said it was OK. I just did my anitial testing off to get the chemicals i need and looking forward to having a beautiful clear pool.

Ok, here is my new pool so far my builder has been great. This build process started in August. We decided to go with travertine as you can see, we have the Paramount in floor pop up cleaner, heater/chiller is on order and landscaping will be done after pool is filled and started. The only...

They said my TDS is super high, what can I do to lower it?

My pool is almost finished. Waiting on pebble. Super excited and nervous about the new cost of chlorine. Also nervous about being able to take care of this new addition to the family. Any advise on start up. I was thinking about adding hose filters to filter the water. Would this be a good idea?
