LOL, that snow snuck up on us and good ole George Jetson was in there skimming away and I wasn't about to fight to try to get it out, so it stayed. I just knew that we would've been replacing it after all that, but it's out there humming along today like nothing ever happened. So it definitely...

Our betta survived by the way, it's our helper year round lol.

Thank you. I clean it year round. In winter the LC adds are minimal because the air is so cold. We have trees between us and the neighbors so fall and spring require several trips to get leaves out. I want a leaf guard and will likely go ahead and invest in one this year. This is only relative...

Brush 2 to 3 times a day to break up the algae after you add LC, make sure your skimmer(s) are clean and clear. Clean the robot after you take it out of the pool to ensure no algae hiding in it. It takes patience, but it'll clear.

Hello, What are you using to test with? You need your own TFTPRO TEST KIT, don't rely on the pool store results. Vets here will ask you to share these test results: FC: CC: PH: TA: CH: CYA: At 30k gallons your CYA is low which is why your pool is not holding on to chlorine. However don't add...

Hi All, I just wanted to stop in and say that it's been almost 2 years since we emabarked on this journey of pool build/ownership. I have been maintaining it myself. I hire the guy who did my pool school once per year in the spring just to check the equipment and clean filters and make sure that...

Yes, I have it set to do that in the old version

Hi @Leebo, Ideal range for salt is not shown for me and Combined Chlorine is not clickable to next screen. I am on Andoid. Thanks

This guy was in our pool before we were on fill day last July...

TFP has educated me enough to keep our pool crystal clear since our fill day last year. I have only used basic chems, regular brushings, and leaf skimming to keep it this way. Thanks TFP moderators for all that you do! 🥰

@HermanTX @Newdude hello and happy spring. I went out to get my skimmer bot "George" out to empty the basket and I'm seeing what looks like sand colored sludge and wanted to know what on earth is this? Can you help me out? See pics belowPool is crystal clear too I hope it's not algae. If so...

@pjt If you want to save a buck or two, these are awesome and they now have a weighted version: Vero Step 2 Pool Lounger We have two of the unweighted loungers we fill the holes with pool water and slide them onto the baja shelf. They are a great value and they look great.

Thanks everyone. We don't have a cover of any sort. I adjusted the rpm yesterday and we're running the filter pump from 8:30am to 9pm. Trying this out to see how it goes. I think I'll get us some filter socks too to try out. Hopefully the continuous circulation, skimmer socks, and a few good...

Thank you and indeed it is a new job 😂

Hello Again! I hope everyone has had pleasant holidays, a happy new year, and March is treating you all well! As we approach spring and things are beginning to bloom here in Georgia, the pollen season is already in gear. We've done well with a TFP Clear Open weather pool, but I am in dire need...

Prayerfully we dodge this bullet. I want a cover on the pool and to close it, hubby does not 😩

Why would a drain be necessary if loss of power and for how long should the pwer be out before making a decision to drain? or do you mean draining the equipment?

Ok I will take some pictures so the we can confirm together 😊

Freeze Protect is already setup and that was what I couldn't remember the tech calling it during Pool School.

Hi AbuElBanat, What side of town are you on? North Metro, Gwinett, Southside, Midtown, Dekalb...? That will be helpful in getting recommendations 😊

@HermanTX now this scares me. I have no issue dialing back the SWCG %. My husband swears ppl will be swimming when it's colder, but it's a hard no for me and the kids and I don't even see him swimming in warm water only to get out in cold temps. I do plan to enjoy the spa as long as the temps...

@Newdude check me out, I finally did my signature :ROFLMAO:

We are keeping our pool open and wanted to know what to do during the fall and winter season as far as chemistry goes? Any tips @kimkats @Newdude @HermanTX ? Thanks in advance!
