Even though it’s diluted with 18 gal of water? 🤔

Hi all! I’m currently soaking my cartridge in 18 gal of water and 3-3/4c of TSP, and then I’ll dump that and redo it with a solution of water and MA. Question is, how do you all neutralize the MA solution? Mixing baking soda? And how much would I use for 18gal of water AND, more importantly...

Hello, I’m getting a quote on a fountain, and I’d like to research and purchase the materials myself. Are there any materials I should avoid because I have saltwater? Im hoping to use a 4’ wide metal spillover, but maybe that’s not a good idea because of rust? I’m researching products and I’m...

Ok thank you so much for that explanation! I feel much better. Should I be concerned that some of the glycerin squirted out?? Also, can you see all of my equipment in my signature now? Thank you for your help.

Ahh thank you. Ok I’m working on that now.

The rpm is 2400. Thank you all. Not sure how to fix my signature so everyone can see it. Maybe I need to try it on my computer vs my phone. I see all of my info 🤷🏻‍♀️

So you don’t see all the other info? See pic

I thought I had it in my signature, but I will try again. Are you able to see the rest of the equipment in the signature? It is a VS Hayward. When I get home, I’ll figure out the exact model. I have it running on the lowest while I was scrubbing the walls, but even on the highest, it only went...

Hello! I’m embarrassed to admit that in the 9mo I’ve had my pool, I’ve never looked at my gauge 🥴. I ordered the glycerin-filled gauge from TFP. The instructions said to pull the little plug on it, and when I did, the glycerin squirted out. I’m sure that was user error. Anyone know if that was...

Thank you. I do not have tile. And I thought I had included all of my info in my profile. I’ll work on it. Thank you!!

Hello, I am so excited that I have all my readings where they should be…consistently! One test that I never concerned myself with in our above ground pools in the past was calcium. Now that I have everything else in order, I want to make sure my calcium level is ok. It’s currently reading 175...

No I haven’t tested salt or CSI. 😬 I guess I should do that. I have been able to lower my CYA to 65-70 with emptying/adding water.

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me! How do I get my info under my avatar like yours? :)

Thank you! I have deleted the other two and left my new pool, so hopefully you are able to view it now. And the label inside my SWG box (attached) has the recommended levels, and it says my chlorine should be between 1-3. (It also says my CYA should be between 30-50, which is really why I'm...

This morning: FC 4 CC 0 pH 7.7 TA 120 CYA 100

Well, I have the TFP kit (just received my replacements, so they are fresh), and I do use the Pool Math app. I selected on the app to link my TroubleFreePool.com user profile. But I'm guessing it's not working (probably user error?) Also, how do I get all of my pool stats to show up on under...

Hello everyone! We upgraded from an above ground pool to an inground fiberglass pool this summer--best decision ever! I'm still getting the hang of my new equipment, but so far, it's been super low maintenance! I have 2 questions: 1. My TA is consistently around 120. I remember I had the...

Hi all! We’re having a fiberglass pool installed next May. Can y’all give me your experience and advice on a heater vs heat pump/chiller? We’re in Central TX. Thank you!

Awesome. Thank you!

Hi all! Last season when I tested my FC, it seemed like once I put my R-0871 drops in and the sample became clear, it stayed clear. I ordered a replacement set this season, and now when I put my drops in and get it back to clear, if I let it sit there for a few seconds/minutes, it turns...

Thank you! I’m working on it. I have to balance it with landscaping. The work never ends, right? I did successfully backwash it.

Hopefully I did it right. I just took a screenshot and attached it. If I should be doing something differently, please educate me!

I’m so sorry! I thought they were linked to my profile from the app! No wonder... thank you.
