We've had the pool now for 2 years and following the TFP techniques is working perfectly. However I have one questions. Being in Canada, we close the pool for about 6 months of the year. When I open the pool, the CYA has dropped to 0. I would expect it to drop some, as we get some overflow...

Hi, opened my pool and realized we were out of CYA regent. Had enough for one measurement, but need to get more. Being in Canada, Taylor Regents seem to be worth more than their weight in gold, and with Covid I can't cross the border to pick them up in the USA. The Pentair CYA Regent seems to...

First off a big thank you to TF Pools and those of you who have answered my previous questions. As a pool newbie I was a bit hesitant to take on the DIY installation and maintenance of a pool, but after a few bumps and mistakes I now have a pool that is perfectly clear, balanced, and being...

Hi, Buying my first pool. It will be above ground 24' round, since that's what fits (space and budget). I will be building a deck around about 1/3 of the pool. I'm currently looking at buying online (poolsuppliescanada.ca) and installing it myself, but if any local stores can get close in...
