Hello TFP'ers! I live in a wet area i.e. clay soil and high water table. Luckily, my pool installer years ago put in a dead man to drain off excess water from around and under the pool. Unluckily, he did not tell me how to use it. So I just installed a new liner want it to last so now I am going...

So we had a new vinyl liner installed this week. The installer had several trucks of water brought in and we are completing the fill with our garden hose. We are over the returns and almost up to the skimmers - using the main drain in the meantime for circulation. So last night I tested and...

I would never want to offend, as you all have been so helpful with my pool over the years. So I will just post my dilemma and you can give me your feedback.

Here are my AM numbers after 2 days of round the clock filtering and lots of 6% bleach. FC 3 CC .5 pH 7.2 TA 90 CYA undetectable I know I don't want CYA high - had that issue last year but am thinking I need to raise it some to have bleach work. I have a small bottle of stabilized chlorinator...

Hi all - you guys and this site seem amazing and truly in line with my philosophy of "if you can't fix it, you don't really own it". That being said, I got my TF50 test kit and have run the numbers for three days. Started with the following levels: FC 0 CC 0 TC 0 TA 90 pH 6.8 CYA <10 CH not...
