So my neighbors decided to put up an abg intex pool, last year they just used mine :rant: , thanks to TFP my pool was crystal clear all year but the neighbor lady didn't think much of my chemical process.....so last weekend when they left town for four days I was so darn curious how they were...

So I'm confused. Ph has been running 7.2 to 7.3, it has been real warm the last few days and the pool has seen a heavy bathing load. Today I tested the pool around noon and the ph was its usual self, this afternoon the kids said their eyes were burning some so I checked and the ph was down to...

My wife made the comment last night as we were in the pool (finally got hot here 97F :party: ) how nice the water looked and felt, and the pool, swimmers and the swim suites didn't stink like chlorine. Now if I could just get her to clean it :whip: Thanks TFP :cheers:

I recently increased my FC level from 3ish to 5 or 6 due to warmer weather (more FC loss) and storms we've been getting. My PH b4 the increase was normally 7.3 to 7.4, now its 7.2. Could the drop be a result of increased FC level or from rain water addition? FC = 5 to 6 PH = 7.2 TA = 120...

Stupid question...Anyone use either flexible pvc hose or the clear flexible to plumb the skimmer to pump and return line? I really don't want to use pvc pipe and the pool hoses come prefitted, but I need to mod them.

Anyone know of a good place to buy replacement filters (Hayward) online?

Got lucky and scored a free Hayward Micro Star Clear filter and Power Flo Pump system from my sister. The pump is rated at 40 gpm. She doesn't use it anymore and it has been in storage for a few years. I want to test it before hooking it up, what is the best way to accomplish this?

I received my CYA reagents from tftestkits (great service) and it tests out at 30. About three weeks ago I added 16oz of HTH stabilizer. I'm currently adding 1-2 ppm of bleach daily (8-16oz) to every other day depending on bather load, the temps have only been in the mid 70's here (ND) so far...

This is my first year with a Summer Escape seasonal pool and I'm anticipating (based on what I've read) the pump going out sometime this summer. Our pool has an in-wall skimmer with pump (see attachment). I'm wondering if anyone out there has had any experience with these and if so what would...

I have a 3800 gal intex type pool, I'm using a HTH drop test from WW, however I'm out of CYA test drops. I thought I could order a refill from TF and use the tubes etc I have with the HTH kit, do you see any probs with this? Also I had previous issues keeping chlorine in the pool however, with...

Ok, I wish I would have found this site a few weeks ago. I have a 3800 gallon summer escape pool, (not the blow up kind). I set it up a two weeks ago and tested. Given the numbers I added 8oz of dichlor and retested 24 hrs later, FC was zero, added another 8 oz of dichlor tested 12 hrs later...
