Forgot to mention, that's factoring in the concentration per the chlorine cost calculator. 128oz of 12.5% @ $3.40/gal....I can only find it in 1 gallon jugs, can't find anyone local to do refills on carboys or 5 gal buckets. Always looking though. Thanks for the update on the pump, glad it's...

I really dig this kind of stuff...as you mentioned I'd even do a rebuild or two each season if needed, well worth it. Keep us informed as time goes by! Still not able to source more than 5 gal. bulk chlorine in this area, and the supplier wants too much for the bulk 5 gallons (more than the...

Just saw 10% hypochlorite labeled as "pool shock" at local supermarket chain (Family Fare) @ 4 gal/$11.99...

Hmm...the chlorine calc'r said .25/oz is "good". Compared to what else is available around here it's REAL good, ha. Often can get 121oz. 7.86 "effective" (8.25% labeled) @ $2.49/ea, calc says .25/oz also but same package @ regular $2.99 (.26/oz) isn't so "good". I also wonder about...

Thanks man, was "doing it" while you posted. ;-)

First I will admit that I am THE guy who will try anything if it will make things easier. After spending 10 years with spending time and $$$ on chemicals to maintain "real good" pool water I found this site last fall, read up on BBB and launched into it at opening this spring. I'm generally not...

Ordered and received my M5 a few weeks ago, first pool cleaner I've had but extremely glad that I bit the bullet and spent the extra $$. Great machine, easy to clean the carts, does what it's supposed to do without a problem. The only downside were the instructions...kind of lacking in info...

MalWart also has HTH 10% @ $6.50/2 gallon pack. Not a fantastic price but not bad. There must be another TFP'er in my area, there were a dozen bottles of bleach (121oz 7.86% @ $3 ea) someone had left on the shelf next to the HTH, ha ha.

Thanks for the reply Linen, late last year and so far this year I've been aiming the two in the shallow end toward the flow of the one in the deep end, with flow aimed out level (about 14" from the surface). The shallow eyeball that aims down the wall toward the deep one is aimed to create flow...

Hi all, good ol' springtime here in Michigan...beginning our tenth year of first time pool ownership (came with the house) and have had a few minor challenges but nothing I couldn't figure out with the help of my friendly local pool store (and my credit card, ha). Found TFP last fall while...

Hi all, simple question that will probably have lots of answers but I appreciate everyone's opinion, thanks in advance: 20'x40' rectangle, 10' deep for about 30' length w/sloping sides, 3.5' deep for the remaining 10' length. Two return jets are on the shallow end-wall near the corners pointing...
