    Has anyone seen this? It is not freeze prevention. I have Paddock Aqua Touch controls. Probably 18 years old. Think it may be time for new control module. Any suggestions?

    Paint overspray in my pool

    Roughly two years ago I adopted TFP method and my water has been flawless since. This week a metal spiral staircase was painted right next to my pool, and overspray turned my water a little cloudy. Any ideas on how to fix it? For any chemists out there, attached pic is the paint that was used.

    Thanks, Jim. I'm going to get the FC back up in range. I was at 3.5FC yesterday afternoon; I added 25oz of 10% and my reading last night was 8.0FC (0.0CC). Mid-morning today my test was 3.5FC. Being a newbie, I thought maybe that was test error. Could my FC really change that quickly (with new...
