Thank you for your reply. We might have a neighbor willing to do it for us, but we try our best to not ask.

Thank you! Do you have any idea if this is a good price for the pucks? Or have suggestions of where else to look for them to compare pricing?

This will be our 3rd (or fourth 🤔) pool season. When it was built, we were given a tub of trichlor tabs that we used to chlorinate the pool year one. Year 2, we discovered TFP and have only used the trichlor pucks to raise CYA when needed. The original tub is almost empty and I got this ad via...

@H-12 1/2 Mike ackkkkkk.....yessss!! I didn't ask the price because we have to have it, but about passed out! I looked at Walmart brand 10% same day and was upset that they had increased to $4.70 per jug (before tax) and had a date stamp of 260 on it. This is sad sad sad! @ajw22 We can hope...

@Leebo Hey y'all! I too am having to repeatedly click on renew subscription, restore subscription, close the app and go back in then it works. I have also tried clicking on about TFP and restore subscription there. It gave me a no subscription found mssg but then I was able to open the app and a...

We did due to no electricity. We were jolted awake at 2:30 am by our smoke detectors and considered it a sign from God to go do it. haha! Not knowing how long that would last was just too nerve wracking. We then used a generator to run a sump pump to lower the water level below the skimmer...

Thanks so much for the advice!

Poteet TX story: We were jolted awake at 2:30 am by our smoke detectors all going off. (a different discussion, I suppose, but we think it saved our pump.) Power had been off for approx 45 minutues. We bundled up and shut off the circuit breaker, hooked up a generator, drained the pump and...

I closed out the app and reopened it and all seems fine now. whew! haha! Thank you for the quick reply.

My credit card was charged on 2/1 but the pool math app is asking me to subscribe or restore subscription. When I choose restore, it says no subscription found. Help!? I don't want to lose my log history!

Thanks for the quick reply! Is my memory correct that you are in Cibolo? The 3009 Walmart?? I am occasionally up that way and will make a point to pop in, if that is correct. I wish I could order online for pickup to know it was there but I have never been able to do it that way with the LQ...

Hey y'all! Headed into my 1st winter with a pool. It still gets a lot of sun and I'm still adding chlorine manually almost every day. It didn't occur to me that WalMart would quit selling liquid chlorine for the winter. wtheck??? haha! I went to the bleach section and came across Great Value...

Great reminder! I did donate when they guided me through my initial SLAM :-). I am also obsessed with YNAB budgeting and have a reminder set to donate annually when my app fee hits my budget! Long live TFP!

Thank you for being so incredibly kind and generous with your time and experiences.

that's really awesome! Thankfully, our high calcium level isn't due to our fill water. When I started with TFP, I believe the cause was narrowed down to pool store products and was over 600 back then. I dumped some water but was nervous because the pool was sooo new so didn't dump "enough" to...

Thank you, Dirk. You really did make my day. I really need to find time to hang out here more to learn allllll the tips and tricks!

Thanks for the reply! An automatic chlorinator is on my wish list for sure! Once my PH reaches 8, I lower it to 7.4-7.5 and it usually takes 2-3 days to bounce back to 8. Is it inefficient to keep lowering that far? My CH is over 400 so I have to be careful to keep the PH in line to prevent...

Wow! That made all the difference! The amount of drops doesn't affect the accuracy of the results? I would totally agree with JamesW that this is a 7.55 (jussst shy of 7.6). That's pretty cool. It does make me wonder if I should only be using 4 drops from now on? or only when I have trouble...

Thanks for the link. I did learn that I should be rinsing with pool water, not tap water before testing. I retested and used the extra drop of reagent and the results look the same to me. I might use pool math and add acid to reduce from 7.7 to 7.4 and see what happens. My pool was filled on...

This is my first year with a pool. Are you joking (I can be gullible.) or is there something that gives you that precise reading?

Not sure why but it seems as though the colors have changed or my eyes have. Would you say this is a 7.7 since it looks bright orange with no pink tint?

Your pool is beautiful! I am sure hoping I can get if figured out and it is fixable. So far, we have tried the MA (spray bottle 1 oz acid with 16oz water). Next we tried white vinegar. Prior to any chemicals, we tried a pumice stone (lightly) on just 1 tile. And we tried a scrubby type sponge...

Our pool was completed last October and I didn't start the TFP methods until this spring but believe I do a fairly good job of keeping my CSI in line. Prior to that we were using chemicals which y'all told me was likely the cause of my high CH (was over 600 in the spring) I test water daily and...

I am fairly new to TFP so just want to be crystal clear on this... so... drops 5 & 6 change from green to red but go back to green. Drop #7 stays red. Does that mean my reading is a 60? (I have been recording this as a 70) Thanks so much!

i am contemplating adding a stenner pump to inject liquid chlorine into my pool and right now i have a nature pro fusion chlorinator inline with an empty cartridge, what are your thoughts about putting the injector in the top of the empty cartridge so i dont have to drill a hole in my piping...

So odd..I clicked on the link and at 1st had an option for hair nets or beard nets. The hair nets showed not available with no timeframe for availability. I accidentally closed the page so came back to the link and clicked again and now the option is for beard nets only. I wanted to see if the...

Thanks for checking on me. :-) I would be lying if I said that I never considered giving up. I came across a post somewhere that said 1-3 weeks is common so I was determined to hang in there awhile longer. It was so crazy how the water was clear for so long before it passed. Today, full sun and...
