Hey there TFP friends... I wanted to take an opportunity to let you know there's been some significant changes in our lives. My husband has been given a fantastic job opportunity which is taking us away from Indiana to the beautiful state of Virginia. The house sold in 2 days. We close toward...

A week ago yesterday I filled the LQ up to the max level with 6%. Kept it where it had been flow wise for the last week, holding around 6-7ppm FC and 0 CCs. Set the timers and left Sunday morning. Arrived at Mobile Alabama Sunday evening and walked right on past the outdoor pool where it seemed...

Good Friday Morning TFP... The puck feeder has found it's rightful resting place...and I'm all ready for my LQ, which is 'out for delivery'... My plumbing/fix it guy was quite pleased with my knowledge about my system and my pool in general. And, poolservicestech, you got a 'no way are you...

And I love it. Swam in a SWG salt pool over the weekend and could NOT believe the difference in the feel of the water. So I promptly added 240lbs to mine. There's a clarity and shimmer to it that it didn't have yesterday. I can't stay out of it!! Now to get my own salt test because it...

I have a dilemma. I bypassed my EMPTY chlorinator last week rather than letting the water flow thru it empty. Then I noticed some air in the return jet. Yesterday I turned the chlorinator back on (it's all cleaned out, empty), put the lid back on and air left the line. However, now the lid...

When performing overnight FC loss does the pump need to run? I'm doing this tonight because I want to double check that somethings not going on. The past couple days I'm losing 3.5-5 ppm during the day. Granted, I get full sun from 9am to 6pm and I've had between 1 and 4 humans, 1 black lab...

So, I'm thinking they're gonna have a few PH issues due to all that aeration...that is, if there's a liner left after that.. http://news.yahoo.com/video/us-15749625/hail-storm-hits-oklahoma-19917666

During our deck refurb we drained, disconnected, moved, then refilled the hot tub today. I refilled from the pool so I didn't have to mess with adding CYA and that water was already balanced. First the pump wouldn't prime and DH and I just kept looking at each other blankly. Then I studied the...

I put this question in my deck refurb thread, but I imagine it likely warrants a separate thread. I've been talking to my pool mechanical guy and we're trying to come up with something regarding the winter cover which we need to replace this year. Pool set up: specs below, but 18x38 oval...

We are embarking on the process of pulling up all the top boards of the deck...about 1600 sq. ft of wicked angles, levels and curves. Back story: We bought this house in 2003. The pool/deck is now about 23 years old. The house had several owners after the original builder and I think we are now...

Hello. I'm new to this forum, but have spent nearly all day on it re-educating myself and trying to make heads or tails of the chemistry of it all. I also want to simplify my pool maintenance. We had a bad year last year and I nearly pulled my hair out fighting algae. We also have an ugly...
