Hello TFP peeps! Been a member of this site since 2022 I believe and have always valued the feedback. It’s Spring time and I’m in North Texas. We have had a few dust storms from West Texas blown into our area in the past month or so and I’d like to think that the red looking dirt in my pool is...

With all the crazy back to back storms and high winds Texas had recently, our pool ended up looking like a cloudy mess. I started the SLAM a week ago tomorrow. My CYA at that time was 60 so my SLAM level was 24. It's less cloudy overall but still can't see the bottom. I've cleaned the filter...

Good afternoon folks! Learned everything I know about pool care from this site and I’m so grateful and have been independently managing my pool via the TFP method. With that said, here’s my data from today and it’s a little frustrating that my CL is low. It’s a fiberglass pool but should my CH...

It’s been a while since I’ve posted. These cold Texas days keep the SWG off and so far have only had to add one gallon of chlorine. Just did a complete test as seen below. Now, I recall that due to having a fiberglass pool I don’t really need to worry about CH. Due to winter, do I really need to...

In another thread I mentioned that the pool builder did find the location of a leak…inside the skimmer tubing/pvc. He sent some guys out today and they filled said edges of the skimmer with silicone. Said to wait 24 hours before adding water back to the pool. They drained it just below skimmer...

Good evening! My pool has looked spectacular since getting my TF-Pro salt kit a few months ago and learning all there is to know (and still learning) on this forum. All you pros are great and have taught me a lot! I did a bucket test a week or so ago and definitely have a leak. The builder has...

Hey guys/gals! I've been researching pool cleaners that are less than $500 (my oldest is heading to college...trying to save $$$). I've looked at the Aiper models as well as Wybot. Not sure what else to look at to be honest. What do y'all have that you absolutely love and couldn't do without...

Good morning! I cleaned out my Salt Cell last night and per the Hayward video dumped the diluted water from a bucket into the pool. This morning, I cleaned the pool and filter and then tested my water. My TA shot down as did my pH, likely due to the diluted Muriatic acid I added to the pool last...

Good afternoon! I go home for lunch every day and while there I test FC and pH levels. I haven't checked TA in a while and noted it was 50 which is the lowest I've seen it. I know this will likely be a simple answer but I guess all I need to do is add baking soda? My FC was 7 and my pH was 8.0...

To begin with, I freaking love this TF-Pro Salt kit!!! I feel like I have a decent handle on how to test CYA but then I have doubts. Do you drop in the pool water/R-0013 mix slowly until the black dot fades or until it’s absolutely not visible anymore? I feel it’s the latter and I’m trying to...

Still waiting on my TF Pro Salt test kit. Took a sample to Leslie’s (I know I know). Here’s what they said: FC - 1.15 TC - 1.51 pH - 7.8 TA - 133 CH - 176 CYA - 45 Salt - 2500 Still trying to figure out what to add 1st or do 1st. I know TA need to drop closer to 80 right? I saw somewhere where...

I'm up way to late but decided I'd make my first post. I had my fiberglass pool installed in October of last year. A friend of ours gave us an extra Pentair testing kit which has seemed to work pretty well so far but I want to be able to test for more things such as CYA levels which the Pentair...
