WOW ! :cool: now that's a turnaround!

Hi All, Recently upgraded from a 1HP Super pump to a PL2607 1.4HP Pureline Prime 2 speed with the 2Green digital controller. I have an older H series H200 milivolt heater, with headman switch on the intermatic timer that we used for the SP. I've wired the new pump to the timer, and have just...

After studying the weather forecast for SE Michigan the next few weeks, made the aggressive decision to open this weekend. Was really sick of looking at the cover, kills the vibe of the backyard. Taking some notes here if anyone is interested. Pulled the cover to crystal clear and pristine...

Depending on climate and how much shade is there, Hostas might do well. Looks like you have a great deal of area to fill, so some variety in types, sizes and height might do well. Maybe some stepping stones for easy walking through to the pool equipment ? Boxwoods would make a nice hedge if...

I cut the old light off, taped my old electrical to the new line and pulled though with no issues. My light has a junction box relatively close. It was helpful to have person feed it and myself at the receptacle to feed it slowly to avoid any snags.

That's a beautiful sight for sure!

I've had good luck leaving a cheap submersible pump ($50 Amazon) on top of my cover. On a warmer day I will run it for a little while to get the excess water off of it and keep the level down. Well, that hasn't worked so well this year considering the snow and temps in (SE Michigan). Also...

Looking Good !

This past week has been a testimonial to TFPC! Summary: Pool went 1 week without pump and still crystal clear. Details: on Monday September 10, 2018 I came home to realize my 1HP SuperPump had not been running for the past day or so. Upon further investigation I determined that the pump was...

snakes, frogs, mice, a plethora of insects... Pool toys, squirt guns.

Thanks! Cleaned the filter out after your reply on Friday. Was able to complete SLAM and taper down to a clean clear pool today.

I've been fighting slow algae growth all summer. I SLAM, pass. ( crystal clear, pass oclt, CC 0) I'm a BBB believer, typical shock method is 10% pool shock from ACE hardware. (NaOCL 10%). Bought home last May, learned of TFP quickly. I Maintain FC in range, few days later the dead algae...

Check your mail for spam my Gmail keeps thinking TFP is spam.

I've never seen shade sails before, that's a really neat idea. I'm hesitant to put down sod as I already have an acre of grass to mow. Low maintenance is the direction I'm leaning.

Thanks for the feedback! Good ideas for a place to begin.

Hi All, Looking for suggestions to refresh and update our backyard pool area. We've owned the home and pool for just over a year. We've learned that the rocks surrounding our pool are doomed to two issues: 1- Weeds, weeds and more weeds. Pull em, spray em, ugh. The previous homeowner used...

Bought at Ace Hardware today: Case of 4-1gal bottles 10% for $11.96/CS. Was able to use a $10 off $50 coupon on them also. Ymmv.

Hi All, I've got a natural gas H200 Milivolt heater, 150Kbtu I believe. I'm looking for a good source for parts for the milivolt electrical components. Specifically the switches and wiring harnesses. The heater works, however the wiring is quite corroded. I've been chasing an issue with low...

Saw another post you had about pool lights? I assume you cleaned those out? I had an algae problem where the algae would start from areas I didn't brush. Light/Ladder/Behind Ladder.

Great! Thanks.

Hello All, Three questions, not sure if right thread, or if i should post separately... Wondering if anyone has a good idea for a reliable source of refill chemicals for the Taylor FAS DPD 2006? I used up the initial small bottle during a SLAM this week for FC testing. Ordered a bottle on...
