I purchased the TK-100 kit 4-years ago and have been very pleased! My pool has remained crystal clear using the Trouble Free Pool philosophies. I live in winter climates (Wisconsin) so I drain down about 2-ft each year to get below jets and winterize. In spring, I fill from hose back up to...

Dumb question but is there any reason to use algeacide on top of your chlorine at initial startup or throughout the season as preventive maintenance? I think just chlorine should work fine without correct? Neighbor has an algae problem (just opened pool) told him to go to shock value based off...

Yes, you can laugh if you want. Looking at the Chlorine/CYA Chart. Opened my pool this morning. Adding in about 1/3 water back in pool (pool is 29,700 gal. so roughly 9,000 gal adding in). Pool looks crystal clear. No smells. Once I fill to jets and start pool up I will test with my TF-100...

Newbie here, not sure if this is the right spot to post this? I’m in need of new filter cartridges for my Pentair Clean & Clear Plus 420. They are 2-years old but my son in the fall washing them dislodged the center ring inside the tube (witch I guess helps regulate water flow??) and they are...

I’m new to the pool ownership and not sure if this is the right forum but wondering how often I should run my pump in the summer? Lately outside air temps are about 80-95 degree mark here in Wisconsin. The pool has been in about a month and pump has been running steady the whole time. Pool...

I’m a newbie to pools. Had a small Intex round 10ft. pool for a few years which seemed to be always out of whack according to the local pool store. Thus making a lot of money off of me. A few years later finally had the funds to put in a decent inground pool (see specs below). This pool is...
