will do I have just been making sure one is consistently IN the skimmer and keeping an eye on the FC. it doesn't seem to "spike" the FC like i have seen Trichlor do for me in years past - it just seems to keep it consistently between 3-7 - which is ok for my CYA as I see it

i'm fairly certain that this is what i am using (almost 100%).... not at home to get photo of actual product

I'm sure that this is covered elsewhere - and I have searched a bit to find a straight ahead discussion - but .... still a bit in the dark I was about to stock up on bleach prior to Covid and failed to act quickly enough. I've balanced w/ bleach for years and years Was able to get two large...

Read up on the site and you'll be keeping your pool perfectly in no time - there are plenty of knowledgeable folks here who are more than happy to help. Really not much to it once you decide to take control. Also - I have to add to the pool store nonsense - My pool store had me on the...

although I would imagine any SLAM situation you enter into, having a much lower CYA would certainly be of benefit as I understand it (keep in mind I am a bit of a novice)

worked great - thanks for the insight!

I'm going for it Impatient

Had these stains on my steps last year as well - pretty mild, but, I want them gone Have no recollection as to what product I used last year - totally escapes my mind Got the Jack's as shown above and have no problem meeting all the recommended parameters - except - I just raised my TA - it was...

Trying to upload photos from phone - hope they did Timer is "ticking" but not turning gears so not functioning to turn dial and turn pool on and off Any ideas short of call to electrician ? I can balance my water but that's where my know how of pool maint pretty much ends

Wow - thanks for the reply He did add CYA to bring to right about 30 / all he purchased / and I was advising to go ahead and target the 70 mark, but, sounds like holding off makes sense for now until algae is gone All of the water samples I have checked show zero CCs , but, I guess this is...

quick and easy question I've been a TFPC man for 2 years now and assisting a friend with his new pool at a recently purchased home. it is a SWG pool - mine is not He had his liner replaced in the spring and has basically done "nothing" with respect to balancing water up until now - when algae...

So - consensus is no worries ?

TF100 user here for the past 2 years Had a recent bout w heavy thunderstorms that really bottomed out my TA - and after raising and retesting , got a wild hair and decided to check my CH for the FIRST time ever I have a 20k gallon vinyl with a new liner about 2 yrs old - been steady TFPC since...

No way - I gotta own this level of knuckleheadedness At least I got my TA headed to a better point

OMG - yes - I'm that stupid Ha ha ha Major mind fart in full effect - I will leave the post just for a laugh

My FC has been staying above 5 and I've been only losing around 2ppm per day so far this season - adding 2ppm nightly. Had first big pool party last weekend and everything stayed just fine - crystal clear and no major FC or pH changes Well- measured FC last night and it was oddly thru the roof -...

true that - and, without revealing too much, we may have experience with the very SAME pool store my fellow sandlapper

Just visited the local pool store I used to frequent almost weekly during swim season until I discovered TFP.com last year I had to pick up some Metal Magic. Had been over a year since my last visit to the store. They had installed brand new fancy automatic sliding doors and granite...

Greetings. I have good luck with Metal Magic too. If one dose cleared your steps, then I would try half their recommended "low" monthly dose, eg. Just 3 oz instead of six. Just add more/adjust if stainng comes back. Thanks for the suggestion - will certainly give that a try! Going to check...

One bottle of metal magic (quart) added over steps then brushed vigorously The top 2 steps cleared up within a couple of hours - then, the next day checked it out and all look great. Only used half of the recommended dose (quart per 10,000 gallons) in my 20k gallon pool and seemed to do the...
