Hi fellow TFPer's, We have a new Blue Haven pool, finished filling last night. The plasterers poured acid over the plaster before they left Thursday night and we were told to brush twice a day after pool was full. This all happened a day later than planned so someone would have been here...

Plaster is 2 months old now but a second acid bath was performed (unbeknownst to me, while we were away on vacation about 26 days ago), the reason there is salt is because the pool builders rep put it in after 3 weeks-I had nothing to do with it, when I asked he said it had been long enough. I...

Lots of advice, getting a bit confused. I upped the SWG to 80% from 11 am to 5pm. FC was 4 went up to 7. My CYA can't go over 60 because of the parameters set for the new plaster warranty which stipulates FC less than or equal to 3, TA 75-90 , CYA 40-60, saturation index +/- 0.3 (best 0- 0.3)...

This morning my chems were: FC 4 cc 0.5 pH 7.2 TA 50 CYA 60 CH 350 salt 2800 CSI -0.74 My pool calc app says I need to add 12 pds Baking soda, and 1 3/4 bag salt which I will do shortly. When the plastering was completed we weren't satisfied with the appearance (too much "butter"- white plaster...

I'm trying to figure out how to set my SWG for optimal service life. I've read some of the posts on the subject and my Turbo cell seems to be very efficient. The problem is reconciling the amount of time the cell is on with time needed for good circulation. I think my pump is too small for the...

Thanks all, I will keep my FC where I know I won't get algae. Over the years I've figured out that to avoid algae I need the higher FC and the help of my local family owned hardware store/pool service who come by while I'm away. Both of my algae blooms happened when the pumped failed and I was...

Thanks for the quick replies! I take my sample to the pool builder which is about a mile away so time is not a problem. And I had thought that letting the FC go down once a month was my only option so you've confirmed my thoughts. But am I really going to get staining of my new plaster at FC 5-7...

I love the TFP method, I used the BBB for 5 years until I recently had my pool replastered. Now I have to submit water once a month for testing to keep my warranty. I have been keeping my SWG pool at FC 5-7, CYA 70-80, pH 7.5-7.8, TA 70-90. The reason for the high FC is that I live on a golf...
