First off, this forum is great! My pool has been beautiful since joining this forum a number of years ago. A wealth of knowledge here. Question: My daughter’s pool cleaner quit working last week and she has been borrowing ours until they can get their’s repaired or replaced. I went to clean...

Hi, all! I've been doing TFP method for the last three years and love it. We did a pool remodel this spring after almost thirty years and finally got the new vinyl liner installed today and water is being added as I type. I read on here that it's a good idea to go ahead and get a little...

Hi, I've been using the TFP method for two years with much success! Thanks to you all! I recently (2 wks ago) had a SWCG put in. Pentair Intellichlor model IC40. I had the local pool store install and in hindsight, wish I would have requested the IC60 for my 35,000gal pool. Alas, I did not and...

Hi, I have a question about slamming in the rain. I had an ammonia issue, which is now resolved and started my slam yesterday. Today it's raining and expected to rain all day. I thought about covering the pool and checking FC levels from the skimmer, but I found a post that said a mesh cover is...

Hi! Pam here. I'm new to the forum, but have been following for a few years. My husband and I opened the pool ourselves this year and am hoping to use the Trouble Free method with the oxygenation part of the Ecosmarte system. Hopefully, you can see my signature to understand what I'm using.;)...
