    Question for a buddy...

    He has a 7,500 gal AG pool that does not have a SWG. His specs as I tested them with my k2006 kit were basically: FC: 3 CC: 0 pH: 7.4 TA.100 CYA: 0 He puts in a couple of those chlorine pucks every 2-3 days he tells me and shocks his pool once a week he tells says.

    First timer... Trying the TFP method. Just looking for a little direction.

    I bought a above ground Intex 18' x 48" pool at the beginning of fall in 2013. Bad timing on my part but I kept it up and maintained through the winter. I also need to be clear that I love my pool! While it got dead leaves and such in it through the winter the water stayed clear. When summer...
