Good Morning, All and I hope everyone is doing very well. I have an interesting issue that I have never experienced before in my hot tub. Usually, after each tubbing, I add 1 ounce to 1.5 ounces of 12% liquid shock and all is fine at the next days readings. This is a bromine tub, no floatie...

Good Day, All. My neighbor broke her arm in May and decided not to open her pool this year. We still have the cover on, have put mosquito dunks in the water on the cover and in the buckets holding the cover down. There are tadpoles growing in a couple of the buckets which I am gently...

Good Morning, All. I wanted to report back with the status of my hot tub. I stopped using the bromine tablets altogether. Now, I finally got around to draining/refilling the tub yesterday. I dutifully used the Ahhsome protocol. I have to say there was no green foam, there was not a speck of...

Good Evening everyone. I am replacing an above ground pool pump on a 24'x 48" pool tomorrow for a neighbor and she does not have any type of pool plugs. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop the water from escaping the pool from the skimmer port and the return port? Thanks in advance.

I am in a situation that, for various safety and other reasons, an OCLT test cannot be performed. The pool in question is gin-clear, and the CC was clear in one drop using the TF-100 kit. We have SLAMmed it in strict accordance with instructions and have also purchased a Dolphin S50. Thanks...

Good Day, All. I am trying very hard to bring my water back to the "new water sparkle". Which, by the way, I have never, ever had since the very first day of filling it each time. I have been following TPF rules for the past 5 years and have all of you to thank for keeping me on the right...

Good Day, everyone and I am asking for your expert advice. I have been a student of TFP since before purchasing my first hot tub. Your guidance has helped me through years of wonderful tubbing with great success and economy. I attribute that to following your directions to the letter. My...

Good Morning, All I am confused. I recently dumped my spa water for the first time and refilled. I used Ahh-Some per the directions. Now, I am having a hard time keeping adequate bromine levels in the spa. I used to be able to put in an ounce or an ounce and a half of bleach after every soak...

Good evening, all. I did a spa clean today and just added too much sodium bromide. I was supposed to add .9 ounces and I added 3 ounces. Anyone have any advice on what I should do now? BR is 4.5 at the moment. TA = 100 and CH = 150, PH 7.8 (jets were running all day). Thanks so much.

Good Day, everyone. I have been using the TFP method now for a month with my new spa and everything is magnificent, many thanks. I will be in need of PH drops and was wondering if they are pretty much universal? I can obtain them locally at a reputable hardware or spa retailer. If this is a...

Good Morning, everyone. I am perplexed. I have followed everything to the T. I decontaminated the new Bullfrog after bringing it to proper heat, balancing and bromine levels. All went well. I filled it up again, heated, balanced and added bromide and bleach last night. This morning, after...

Good Evening, everyone. I just unpacked my spa and have a question on how the control panel should be oriented. If I am standing outside of my spa, should the control panel be right side up or upside down to my view? The control panel is located in the front of the spa on the top center edge...

Hello Everyone and thank you for your wisdoms. We just returned from Nashua, New Hampshire with our new Bullfrog 131. Long day to say the least but she is nestled nicely in the bathroom. I wish to ask your collective expert opinions on a pre filter to remove metals from my well water in...

Hello Everyone, I wish to ask for help in understanding my calcium hardness test. I am following your instructions and am using the Taylor K2106 kit. I have done the calcium hardness test twice. The first time, I followed the instructions under the lid and the test turned purple, not red to...
