My pool has undergone a number of weeks of recent stain removal. Chemistry is almost balanced and crystal clear water. Stains had progressively got worse over months. Not sure if this was Covid impact, rubbish salt, watered down chemicals, Green coloured acid to name a few. In...

Hi All, I currently use a robot Trident Eco for my above ground. Works pretty good overall. Noticed lots of dust in the pool, something the robot can't do much with. Vacum to waste dumps a absolute Load of water from the pool, not ideal. So reluctant to do that, filtering isn't cutting it...

Hi all, i read the article on adding DE to a salt water pool (cup or two) into skimmer to give the filter a boost. Odd question, but what size DE powder. Suppliers i have looked at seem to offer 3 or 4 types. Extra fine to coarse etc.

My subscriprion just renewed and confirmed payment details via apple, but pool math says i need premium subscription. Details show subscription Jan 2022 so not updates.

Good morning and best wishes all. Looking for some guidance. My pool has been crystal clear since being part of TFP, the app helps immensely. But after probably a year i noticed a couple of stains not moving. Eventually vit c proved Iron stains. I noticed a bit around the jets too. So...

Hi all, silly question but I have a clear choice test kit. On a couple of the tests you have standard or high sensitivity depending on what you think it maybe. So I try standard my TA for example 100, high sensitivity TA 30. My pool target 70-90. Which is true? Assume high sensitivity but...

Hi Everyone - have been following TFP for a while now and pool is looking great. Testing weekly - noticed with all the rain my CYA has dropped to 45 and pH consistently above 8 each week, TA hovering around 70. Normally I had my CYA about 70 ish - kept my chlorine levels fairly consistent...

Hi just trying to get a good pole and leaf/silt net. Had originally ordered the Pro Tuff gear . After a month just told they don’t deliver anymore to OZ. Sad really, great reviews and gear. Buying through Au Amazon just a net is $138…..then delivery. As such looking for suppliers or...

Just started to get what looks like poop, dark splats on the tiles. In the pool, looks like bits of dirt in a few places. Initially thought it was gutter mud from birds , but includes my deck now so it’s an animal of sorts. Maybe Bats ?? have upped my chlorine and brushed - can’t work out...

Hi just wanted some knowledge of how to prepare a pool for winter. Assuming will be pretty much the same as is, maybe reduction in FC ? Appreciate in Brissy we have until maybe May but thought I’d ask whilst learning the ropes.

Hi have a paid version of Pool Math - I noted that when I change the actual and target FC it doesn’t update. Even if I add a new log it updates the actual but I can’t change the FC target. I have an actual of 8 that’s my target also but target is showing 5 . Does this default to recommended...

Continue the Australian theme, have been looking into Borates addition. Not been able to find a non commercial boric acid supplier - looking at pool math seems I am looking at 12+ Kilos. I don’t fancy Borax route too much messing around. just seeing if any Aussies have done this, thoughts...

Hi from Brisbane, just signed in hoping to gain to much needed knowledge, being newbie seems like so many purchases and options needed. so here I am.

Hi just joined , looking for some expert guidance and next steps for my pool few months old. I read the ABCs but still confused on if I should shock weekly anyway as a maintenance thing ? If so use liquid chlorine or other. I ask as my pool testing place suggests I don’t need to shock...
