    Just refilled and need guidance

    Sooooo I am currently slamming my AG pool and just tackled draining and refilling the hot tub. Thank goodness I have the summer off my paying job to take on the FT job of getting the pool and now the hot tub going. As soon as it was filled I tested the water. We are on a well but have a new...

    Talk me off the “floc-ing” ledge!

    Hello all, I’ve been posting over in the algae forum after trying to clear up the algae problem. I’ve been following the SLAM process for about two weeks. I’ve tested FC multiple times a day, dosed according to Pool Math app, backwashed, brushed, vacuumed, and refilled multiple times over the...

    New pool name: Whitewalkers Swamp - HELP!

    I posted and became a follower of TFP last year. I bought my kit and my 24’ round AG pool finally was filled. Put the cover on in the fall and thought I had a handle on all of this…joke is on me!

    Turning in my very first "chemistry report"...

    Well, the pool is up and running and I just tested the water. I actually did my first test two days after the pool was filled but my results were off the chart because I read the liquid chlorine ratio incorrectly and poured a gallon and a half of chlorine into the pool. The numbers were as...

    Where to begin...

    I joined this site about a month ago when we tried to fill the 24' AG pool that came with our house. We knew absolutely nothing about owning/maintaining a pool and so we tried to have it filled about a month ago and the liner tore in multiple places and the walls started buckling. Since then...

    AG Pool Newbie!

    Hello New Friends! I bought my 1970’s split-level home in January and had high hopes for the AG pool in back but,alas, there was a big problem during the filling process yesterday:(. When it was a quarter full the liner began tearing and pulling the walls in in places. We immediately stopped...
