Thanks for reaffirming the TFP methods. I also didn't understand why it would scale as my CSI is usually slightly negative. Regardless, hopefully this helps others when they come across these outrageous claims.

I found this document online about PH and Calcium levels for Leisure pools fiberglass maintenance and is sort of opposite of TFP and what is mentioned on the forums: So what should we follow? I have it currently at 290 ppm and TA at 70.

I was thinking to balance the pool closer to operating temps but I guess it can wait until we are ready.

Any pool owner will take. you up on that offer! Here's my little pool after opening fill and clean.

Being further north I guess the cold weather doesn't allow for much algae growth. I closed Oct 30th with 7 FC nicely balanced pool and it seemed to last the winter with a simple tarp and water bags. I actually prefer this as I did not need to worry about any accumulation of water on top of...

Curious why you think it should be higher? The TFP recommendation says with a CYA of 60: min 3 FC and target 4 so I thought 4-6 was a good range as it was a little higher.

I am new to owning a pool, it has been 1.5 months and I think I've settled into a rhythm. The SWG runs for 11 hrs at 50% at 1750 rpm and my FC moves between 4-6 with a CYA around 60. The maintenance consists of running the robot, cleaning the skimmer, sweep the steps to help the robot and add...

FYI i went with poolsupplies canada and the pentair warrior se 999 -50 rebate. I believe its the same as the s200. They also have the encore for 799.

Thanks, will aim forthe higher end.

Hi everyone, looking to see if there is any additional advice on what I am doing. I've never owned a pool and this is my first month of learning everything I can. The pool is fiberglass has an SWG, waterfall and a heater in a northern climate. My numbers today are as follows: FC- 5 CC-0...

Just starting out with a new pool, trying it the TFP way. So far so good!

Thanks for the advice. I will definitely be cautious. It is brand new so I am happy to hear yours is on its 18th season ! How has it been? My only concern is keeping the gelcoat to last 20 years. Have you redone the gelcoat at all? I see you are a neighbor in Michigan, good to see it handles...

Very exciting, I am attempting to balance a new pool for the first time. Checking if I'm on track. Some numbers: FC=10 TA=130 PH=7.8 CH=140 CYA=30 Water is crystal clear, added stabilizer to bring CYA up , it will probably continue to creep I expect to 40-50 over the next day. My next steps...

Ontario code says no bonding required for Fiberglass unless conductive material is used near the water. I do have an auto pool cover that is going to be bonded to the equipment since it contains metal. Paver patio around pool already layed Should I bond the water? I know it's not required here...

For the Canadian people, I purchased the Pentair Warrior SE for 999 CDN from poolsuppliescanada. What I don't understand is why the SI is 1299 which is 300 dollars more vs $50 u.s. on that price sheet. There is also a $50 dollar u.s. rebate, I think its the best option for our 4-5 months of...

Got this a few days ago, reagents have expiry dates July- Dec 2022 FYI

Ordered (Taylor K2006c) April 10th from unbeatable sale on the Walmart website (May 7th estimate). Said it shipped a few days ago, so pricey! 182+32shipping +28 tax = $242!!!!

Oh I just ordered off Walmart, I wish I had seen your offer! May have to contact you in the future. Very generous, thanks!

Might be arranging a family member in Florida to order mine, my pool will be installed in a few months and I'd like to get on top and learn about testing etc. It's quite surprising that there is nothing readily available in Canada at a fair price. I'm also wondering about shipping these chemicals.

How is it holding up after 11 years? Do you know what they used?

Hi! Thanks for the reply, We don't have any pets but good point in terms of durability. I'm still surprised there isn't a definitive way to refinish the fiberglass. One would think a company would develop a procedure similar to the original application.

First post... We are planning to install a pool next year, 98% of the pools in Ontario are vinyl with fiberglass rounding out the other 2 percent. Since my home is in a regular subdivision the maximum size of the pool i can fit is around 32x12 to centre in my backyard with 6 ft ( 2 m) on...
