I've got some general questions on the Jandy valves. We built our pool a few years ago and the only complaint I have ever had is the valves that my builder used on the suction side of the pump. Currently, there are 3 ball valves controlling the input from each skimmer and the main drains...

As the title says, I have fairly high TA fill water. My fill water TA has risen from 125 three years ago to 300 this past summer. I'm not really sure whether changes in TA on city water are common or not, but this past season I had to test PH more often and obviously had to lower PH more often...

I like to open early, so I went ahead and opened my pool last night after work. My area has received a lot of rain over the past few weeks, the 10 day forecast shows no low temps below freezing and high temps consistently in the 60's-70's. That is my trigger to open because I want to be open...

I have done so good, that is until yesterday when I accompanied a friend who is looking at a house with a pool and wanted some feedback on the state of the pool. I peeled back their cover to find a green swamp, which got me wondering about the state of my water. So, when I got home I just had...

As the thread title says, I’ve got a weird one. Chlorine production tests normal, at least it is keeping up with demand. I’ve had my solar cover on most of the time over the past few days, and have turned the IC40 down to 15% without losing FC. Today, I checked diagnostics on the easytouch and...

It is called Cobalt Lake / Grey Mosaic. This is the liner we think we are going to go with on our build. Was hoping that someone here might have this or a similar one and could share a pic with the water. Choosing a liner is very HARD.

Looking to get some feedback on the ph meter from tf test kits. I have a TF100, my brother in law needs a good test kit so I plan to give him my kit and get a new one. I am close to construction on my first in-ground build, it will be 4-5 times the volume of the pool I have previously...

I thought I would post an introduction since I am probably going to become much more of a TFP user. I was a lurker for a while, found this site and used the concepts here to clear an algae bloom a few summers ago. I finally joined last summer when I was battling some bad sand quality after I...

FINALLY, we have our contract and plan to sign this week. Construction should begin in the next few weeks. My contractor is a little hesitant to commit to an exact start date right now due to the odd weather we have had this spring and how far that weather has caused him to fall behind his...

I am a fairly new member to the TFP community, although I have been a lurker for three years. I found this forum two summers ago when I was having trouble keeping our seasonal above ground pool clean. Once I found this site, got a TF100 and studied Pool School, I have not had a single water...
