just because it's out of the sock doesn't mean it will register in the test

I've seen it take up to a week plus to register - no idea why, I just know don't over add until it has time to be absorbed and register

call me crazy, but you've already jilted the builder. I don't see any way possible this ends well. Good luck

Thx Matt, I finally just deleted the pool, signed out and back in and it accepts the test results now.

just emailed above address. Return email says poolmath wasn't found at troublefreepools.com. ?

I've actually never referred back to it, so I'm good with losing it. But is that what I need to do, delete and start over to be able to save the current results?

used to let you save your latest, last log (in other words, your current test results, but it won't allow me to enter them anymore). If that's changed, then that's the issue I guess. If that's the case though, you wouldn't be able to save anything which doesn't make sense. I may have to delete...

will do - thx

Don't want to, but it won't allow me to add the latest log. I'm not renewing. All I care about right now is the last set of results so no need to renew.

Past couple of years I had subscribed to the pool math app so I could keep long term tabs on pool's history. I've discontinued my subscription since I rarely need to look back in depth. The TFP method has made my pool surprisingly stable. I'm guessing that since I won't be able to keep more than...

Jim - I see absolutely no reason to turn it upside down, but mine works...;)

If I paid $700-$800 for something and it rattles and doesn't work properly, it's going back...

after my second high dollar hayward giving me problems in about the same time frame, I just gave up on the 'high end' pumps and started buying the generic pumps. I figured if I had to replace them anyway, it wouldn't sting as much. I've been pleasantly surprised.

Keep doing what you're doing. Wish there was a quicker way, but short of hauling out the clay and hauling in good topsoil, you're on the right track. I'm in SWGA and dealing with the same issues. Aerate, aerate, aerate and keeping adding nutrients with compost as you do. Sand won't hurt, but if...

Do you have a functioning weir door on your skimmer? and is your filter clean? I'll let someone else help with valve settings, I don't want to tell you incorrectly.

You're doing fine. That vacuum is fine. Have you filtered any of the water since you flocked (through the sand filter)?

if you floc'd it, don't filter. vacuum to waste and continue to do so until you're confident it's as out as it can be. Your manual vac is definitely the best tool right now. I'll let others try to diagnose the main issue, but what you've done appears to have helped

just as an FYI, I purchased my flume because I was concerned about the amount of water I was being charged for. I really have no idea what a 'normal' amount of water usage is and I just figured family of 3, pool and irrigation system that 'x' gallons seemed about right. Turns out I had a leak...

bought a flume 2 prior to summer. Saved me once already (toilet flapper) and just knowing how much water I'm using helps tremendously. I'd buy it again tomorrow.

pretty sure borates will not solve your problem. The only thing that will solve your problem if all else is balanced is chlorine.

my pool isn't 50 years old, but I found this site while researching switching mine out as well. I've never found anything that's fit quite like I think it should, but have you considered replacing the whole sleeve so that the inner part and the outer parts are from the same manufacturer? I stare...

I'm sorry, but just going to be blunt here. If you're quoting 'all sources', it tells me you're likely trying to pick and choose the information you'd agree to follow. That's fine, but the TFP system works, just not in conjunction with other 'sources'. If you're bent on stopping the slam for...

Been there, done that. Got done with the yard one day, jumped in the pool and started sweating. Temps in Southwest Georgia can be brutal in the summer. Ended up getting something like this https://www.lowes.com/pd/CASAINC-12-ft-Cantilever-Patio-Umbrella-with-Base-in-Brick-Red/5001747251 - made a...

No clue how it compares cost wise, but I can tell you I'm not driving around at $4 per gallon gasoline looking for liquid chlorine or bleach;)

I know several people have mentioned it, but I haven't seen anyone actually come out and say it - Look into a Salt Water Chlorine Generator when you have time. It basically removes the need to have to hunt for chlorine which has become difficult. I absolutely love mine...

Just throwing this out there as well for protection. A lot of credit card companies will allow you you issue a 'virtual' card number for online purchases these days to protect yourself against this exact kind of issue. That way if it works out, awesome. If it doesn't, report it as fraud and keep...

Just look for something similar. Place it in a sock and hang it in front of a return jet. You may be able to find at one of the big box stores as well. I usually buy in bulk over the winter because everything is hard to find during season...
