Hey everyone! I found TFP after a failure of a first year in our new house that came with a pool. I’ve followed the TFP way since 2016 now and will never go back! I live in Maine and since we lost our hard-sided above ground pool to frost heaves two winters ago, we now have to drain/take down...

I've been looking around the forum and have found the directions for a full pool AA treatment, but I'm wondering if this is necessary for my pool? Background: last year we filled our AGP from empty with pond water and slammed it to TFP clear. This year, when we opened, we filled it back up...

Whoops. I lost my leaf rake in the middle of my 65ish degree pool. [emoji24] Anyone want to go for a nice, "refreshing", swim for me?? Or better yet, anyone have any ideas on how to fish it out without having to take a swim yet? Brrrrrr!

Hi Everyone! I'm back for another season after successfully turning my "pond" into a beautiful oasis last year....AND maintaining it that way! [emoji4] The pump is now up and running and I've run my first set of tests. Last year, we closed by bringing our FC to SLAM level and draining to a few...

I went to the salon today and got my hair done. Blond highlights. I'm newer to this forum but have successfully transitioned my pool to a TF pool and have done a ton of research on here, so when my stylist said as I was leaving "just be careful in your pool because sometimes pools will turn...

Quick question: I have been doing a TON of reading on here and I vaguely remember someone saying the pump should be running at least 30 minutes BEFORE testing? I can't find the thread it was in now. I know it has to run at least 30 minutes after adding chlorine, so did I misread this? I'm second...

Hey everyone, I have been using the Taylor K-2006 test kit for a week or so and I have been pretty confident in the results I get. I am pretty particular and detail oriented in my everyday life, so I never really had reason to question my results. That is until this morning..... I am finishing...

Hi friends! I am going to introduce myself and start a thread because my test kit arrives today and I know I'll have plenty of questions! My husband and I bought this house last summer with a brand new pool, brilliant blue and completely balanced. It's a 27' round above ground with metal...
