    CSI is below 0.6 - cause for concern?

    Hi, The CSI reading below was 0.7 a couple weeks ago when the PH was mid 7s. I had just added acid. I am curious if this is something to be concerned about or nothing. Until the weather cooled off CSI was close to 0. Latest Test Result Summary: FC: 8.0 (13 minutes ago)...

    Any idea what's going on here?

    Pool filled with water on 1-17. Pool maintained the TFP way from 2-7. The deck was demolished end of April and then repoured at the end of May. White stuff appears in some places but not in others. Latest Test Result Summary: FC: 11.0 (16 hours ago) CC...

    Taylor Salt Test q

    I am using the Taylor chromate inidcator and silver nitride sold as a kit and recently as I add the reagent the mix (on a speedstir ) starts to become colloidal. Little floating globules of whatever appear. I do eventually touch the milky salmon 'stop' color but the tube looks a mess and if this...

    When a pool build never ends

    After a seemingly ok dig and build stage of the project, pretty much everything else went wrong. The list is long, and it is shameful. However, we were in sight of the end when they drilled the holes for the anchors for the pool cover we paid for but was never ordered. I believe it exists now...

    Aside from CYA all good - or not

    Probably need some more CYA but otherwise seems fine I think. Logs aren't 100% complete - missing some scrubs and a whole host of equipment changes and cartridge filter clean at the tender age of 2 weeks etc. Chems are largely accurate. https://troublefreepool.com/mypool/DQMNGM5

    TF Pro Salt readout - 2.5 months after startup

    I test my pool almost daily because of a random element in the form of the PB but that's another story. Had it pretty cleanly balanced when they swapped out the final piece of the automation system and connected the SWCG correctly finaly and jacked the SWCG up to 65%. I measured CL and we...

    Pollen Sieve for Skimmer?

    Hello! Our pool is receiving a lot of pollen from oak and various other forms of flora. It's just part of living somewhere with lots of beautiful trees and grasses. I would put the cover on for a few days but it hasn't arrived yet because the pool builder is plumbing new depths of incompetence...

    New Pool - levels q

    Hello! Pool was started up exactly 4 weeks ago. I can't tell you what startup method was used because the Pool Builder relationshuip after that final check could be described as non-existent. So i ordered my TF101 - and it arrived quickly - and got testing. Its been cold here, so this saltwater...

    3 weeks post start up

    Hello TFP Community, Pool Startup was a little over three weeks ago and the pool builder has become ever more disinterested. This may or may not be connected to the final check being cashed when they did the plastering. One gets the distinct impression that they're not as interested as they were...

    I started poring over the site and figured it would be worth supporting! Lots of helpful folks demystifing pool information which is refreshing. After buying a...suspect possibly K2006 kit on ebay and returning it I'm going to order the TF-100 salt. The discount for bronze support is for the...
