I logged onto pool calculator app today, and it seems we now have to pay for the app for it to work? Am I missing something?

Just a public service announcement. When I ordered my TF-100 refill kit, the dropped on my R-0012 was the wrong size drops. I hope mine was an isolated case, but just giving folks a heads up. I knew something wasn’t right when I ran a full panel, and one of my numbers was WAY off of normal!

I added salt to my pool today. I got tired of harsh water causing kids’ eye irritation and causing me dry itchy skin. I do not have a SWG. Do I balance my water based on Salt Water chart now? Latest numbers: TC- 6 CC- 0 TA- 70 PH- 7.2 CH- 250 Any other tips? I added a lot of salt (280 lbs to a...

Good morning! I’ve been using TFP method for 3 years, no algae outbreaks. Super easy. I have a pool store that I use, the owner never tries to sell me anything, and he knows I use TFP, and actually recommends it to people! I occasionally like to compare their test results to mine, and today he...

Pool store ruined my water, and we just refilled. Im new at this, and need help adding chemicals... here are my TF 100 test results: CYA 30 FC 4.5 CC 0.5 CH 75 TA 50 Where do I start?

Ok, so my father in law finally gave in, and let me test their water! They had been unable to clear their cloudy green swamp, and even the pool store told them they needed to replace their water! So, I tested their water, and..... CYA...>200! I'd guess like 240. As even with the diluted test...

Hey all, im thinking about investing in a new pump, but don't know where to start? Any thoughts? I'm also considering switching to SWG, thoughts?

I was wondering how many of you care for pools professionally? How do you get into that work? How would you do TFP method caring for several pools? This method seems too involved to care for several pools. My wife thinks I should consider entering the industry, and I was just looking for...

Hey all, so, my 2 yr old had an accident in the pool today. I found him reaching for a strange floating object in the water...."DON'T TOUCH!!!" any way, he had a swim diaper on, and only a few pieces escaped. I was able to skim most of it out of the pool. I bumped the chlorine level to 24, my...

So, I've been reading up on effects of Ph, and am wondering if I really need to adjust my Ph? It's alway run near the high end of the spectrum. It looks to me to be between 7.8-8.0. All other values are great... FC-9 CC-0 CYA-60 TA-100 CH-240

Hey all! So, my pool has been consuming FC like crazy recently, to the tune of 4-5 PPM each day! Last season my CYA was around 80, but due to severe water constraints here in CA I was not able to drain and refill. SO, I bit the bullet and used a lot of bleach. In my last few CYA tests I have...

hey all! This system has worked great! Thank you for all your help! Went into Leslie's Pool Supply today for some cellulose fiber, and it was kinda awkward since I haven't been in there since I found this system! Awkward, like seeing an ex girlfriend! Lol. Anyway, I have to leave town for a...

So, I did away with my pucks, powder, and phosphorus reducer, now (within 24 hrs) my pool is turning green, and I can't see the bottom. I'm sure it was coming anyway, but what can I do in the meantime? I got household bleach, added 2 bottles (121 oz). Is there a danger in overchlorinating if no...

I've been reading your posts for quite some time, and now I'm finally joining! I'm about to order my tftest kit. One question....should I get the XL. My pool is my baby (just ask my wife!), and I like to test, tweek etc. I've been fighting algae blooms all summer, and finally have it blue, but...
