    Slam?

    So, I opened my pool about a week ago. It's absolutely gorgeous. I indiscriminately dump a gallon of bleach in (I know 🤦‍♀️) and test it that afternoon. Show zero bleach. So I use the app. Add chlorine in. Check it the next morning. It's perfect. Check again that afternoon. Zero FC. I decide...

    I know that the Dpd powder is supposed to be replaced at the beginning of the season (does it really?) But what about the rest of the stuff? Also, does water temp affect the results?

    Phosphates

    I've always battled phosphates. My pool store (just got my test TF-100 kit today!) knows when I come in to test me for phosphates. Is there a good reliable home test?

    Hi! I still need assistance with my email and password. I'm not getting any emails when someone replies to my threads and I need to reset my password. When I request a password reset email I never get that either. Thank you!!

    SpeedStir

    Hello, I'm just getting started switching over to TFP and think I will go with the TF-100 test kit. Do I need the SpeedStir? Am I can going to really get anything from it I wouldn't get with just the base kit?
