I have a decent sized (18x36) inground pool. My backyard gets direct sun from 800am to 600pm in the summer. But right now although the pool is up and 'running' it's unusable given the temperature. (Currently in the mid 60s :eek:) I do have an existing gas line out there for a heater that was...

Happy spring from NJ! Pool guy is coming sometime this week to open up my pool for me. I want to be sure I'm at the ready to tell him to back away with his chemicals and I will handle it. I know that the almighty dictator of next steps is pool water test results which I will have once the...

Hi everyone - I periodically have metal staining in my liner pool. I am suffering with it right now (confirmed with a Vitamin C test). I checked the site and I am finding the copper and iron test on tftestkits.net. Are there any other metals I should be on the lookout for kits on and also...

Hi all - Must be pool season here in NJ! I did a test yesterday using my TF100 kit. My TC was 2.5. My pH is 7.2 and my standard free chlorine (the yellow part of the test tube) was between 8 and 10. I did the CYA test and seems that there is none present in the pool? Reason I say this...
