    When will Jandy pool filters and pumps be available following Winter Storm?

    I want to bump this up. Has anyone heard anything about parts flowing? I need a Jandy pump housing and the company I asked to do the repairs still doesn't have the part. I have seen them online in Arizona websites, but are they actually in stock?

    How to deal with a frozen pool

    Looks like our pump is cracked. We lost power around 3:45am Monday when we were supposed to be on rolling outages and were not. Woke up around 6:30am and the pool was already freezing over and the pump frozen. Will have our equipment checked hopefully soon. I'm sure they'll be busy. Are the...

    Walmart "Pool Essentials 10% Chlorinating Liquid" - Anyone else not able to find it?

    Re: Walmart "Pool Essentials 10% Chlorinating Liquid" - Anyone else not able to find Hmmm...I don't think our Kroger Signature store has a pool section? In a pinch, I was using Great Value since I was already at Wal-Mart and it was 8.25%, or so I could have swore that's what I read. This last...

    Walmart "Pool Essentials 10% Chlorinating Liquid" - Anyone else not able to find it?

    Re: Walmart "Pool Essentials 10% Chlorinating Liquid" - Anyone else not able to find I went to 3 Walmart stores last week. I ended up at Leslie's on 121 in The Colony. The guy there said they always keep a pallet for pool guys. Not all Leslie's does that according to the guy there. He...

    CYA Dispenser

    Hello, I cannot find my CYA dispenser that came with my TFT Kit (suspect hubby threw it away since it was sitting with empty bottles). I cannot find that I can purchase this separately on the TFT website. I found this one on Amazon, will it work...

    Is there a virus on the website?

    Glad the site is clean! ? I actually work for a security software company. I know ransomware is a biggie today. I'm an accountant though, so I don't really understand all the technical aspects. But I just got concerned when all the other links I went to in the forum had the same message...

    Is there a virus on the website?

    All the link get the same message as the screen shot above, with the category Ransomware. I did go to the site over the weekend at home with no problems. Maybe it is our network?? I was not logged into the network this weekend. On Saturday, I checked out the version of the excel file to make...

    Is there a virus on the website?

    Ok. Thank you. But it is the same with all the links I click on troublefreepool.com. I've used this website before, but I guess they could have changed settings? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

    Thanksgiving Vacation

    We ended up getting a tarp to cover the pool. Figured that would be less work when we get back. ? Y'all have a Happy Thanksgiving! ? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

    Thanksgiving Vacation

    I was planning on letting it run. Would there be a problem to let it sit stagnant for 9-10 days?

    My pH has actually been pretty stable. Now, my plan is to bring FC up to shock level and leave...and try not to think about it :cool:

    FC - 4 (before adding a little chlorine) CC - .5 TA - 90 CH - 275 CYA - 40 pH - 7.7 I will test again tonight. I was wondering if all I needed to do was bring it to shock level? We do have the puck holder on the equipment, but have never used it. I know you put a few in there but not sure...

    We are going out of town for 9 days for the first time since we have had a pool to maintain. What do I do?

    Messed up

    Ok. Well right now, my pH does vary, but I have had the water features and pump running 24/7 for a while. Also read some where on this forum that the first year the pH increases with a plaster pool. Did I read (or understand) that correctly? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

    Got the TA to 80. What should my goal be?

    I rechecked my TA this morning and it is 90. 8 drops turned red, 9 drops turned more red and 10 drops didn't change from 9.

    Messed up

    Yes, I put a pound in the skimmer and will check the CYA again tomorrow. According to Pool Math, that should get me to 40. Then I will put more in after that. We've spent enough on the pool so I want to make sure I'm doing what I need to. I thought I understood before, but quickly found out...

    OK. I've been working my TA down. Now I will work CYA up.

    Messed up

    I will tonight. It seems at the end of the day it is 2.5. Then at night, I add bleach to bring it up to 6. I figured after all day in the sun, that was good??
