Hey all, Im getting ready to go on vacation for a week and im really concerned what im going to find when i get back. I had to cover agp for 24 hrs earlier in the season due to some tree limbs being taken down. Pool was green the next day when i opened up. Im thinking about putting cover...

Hi all, I decided yo change the sand in my filter this year and cant help to think i messed something up. Within 24 hours of running, i would say flow output drops off to less than 25%. I have an Intex 2100GPH pump and sand filter. If I cycle to backwash/rinse/filter it seems to work fine but...

So, I'm heading out of town today and returning probably Monday afternoon/evening. I'm just wondering how I handle chlorine while I'm gone? Should I pre-load each day's predicted amount today before I leave? I'm not sure what else to do. Thanks!

Elsa passed by me yesterday / early this morning. I woke up today to see that my AGP is cloudy. My fault, I let the FAC reach 0. I haven't slammed yet, as I have not read any CC yet. I did bring back up to ~ 7ppm FAC this morning. CYA is ~45. I'm just wondering, why did this turn cloudy...

Hi All; I joined almost a year ago, but I don't think I ever took the time to introduce myself. I live in Wilmington, DE. My wife had the idea of getting a pool last year as a result of the pandemic and not being able to go anywhere, so we made it happen. It was interesting, the pool I think...

So, this is my second season with agp, intex 7k gallon. I started off with this pool using 1" chlorine tablets and quickly learned that eventually hot chlorine lock because those tabs just keep adding CYA and only way to effectively get rid of that seems to be drain/refill. This year Im...

My wife and I opened our agp 2 days ago. We rolled the cover across the pool, and we were all the way at the end. As we were ready to pull the last bit out of the pool, there was a pocket of water that my cover pump wasnt able to reach, and this nasty, stagnant water found its way into the...

This is my first year owning a pool. I live in mid atlantic region so we can get fairly cold winters. My pool is an intex ultra xtr 18' x 52". I have slammed, which seemed i dint need to based on CC, did it for good measure. Added non chlorine shock, winterizer and winter algecide. Drained...

All; I finally have some liquid chlorine on my hands and I'm looking to add some to my pool, not to SLAM but just to bring my pool into recommended range of recommended levels based on CYA. This will require adding approximately 3 - 5 ppm of FAC into the pool. I have 7.5% sodium hypochlorite...

Hi All. I am a new pool owner this year. I have purchased an Inetex 18' x 52" circular above ground pool with a 2100GPH sand filter. This pool holds ~7000 gallons of water. Unfortunately, I had not come across TFP and pool school prior to initially buying the chemicals for it. What I have...
