Moved from here. Hey guys. Haven't posted in a while. We had 2 trees cut down right beside the pool last year. Well.... they didn't give me notice before coming, and I lost the last month or so of swim season because I was fighting sawdust in the pool.... a LOT of sawdust. I feel the need to...

Ok, I read closing in pool school, but those of you know me know I always have questions and doubt my own understanding. I got a new liner Thursday and the water level is back up. Leaves are a huge problem here. The pool store said (I know lol) said to just get the chlorine and TA up, and to...

Most forums I am on have "for sale" or "wanted" sections. I couldnt find one here. I am in need of a cheap light with a 15' cord. It doesn't have to be anything special. This is a rental house, and I am a broke man, so I dont want to spend a ton of money on it. I don't even know how to...

It limped along last year, and got us through the summer, but It has already broken down on me twice this year, and I have had to fish it out of the pool once. I have some questions about the different parts, and if anyone has (cheap) suggestions I am all ears. I'm a poor man trying to help my...

I didn't have this issue last year because by the time I found you guys I had already put like 11tybillion pounds of shock in the pool, and cya didn't have to be adjusted. This year it is at 0, and I have to SLAM. I noticed that I'm supposed to run the pump for 24 hours, and I can't do that...

For those who remember me, you know I like to cheap out. If there is a PoBoy way of doing something, I will find it! After the countless hours of squatting by the pool last year, painstakingly pouring the bleach (not too much, but as fast as possible to get it over with) I decided to find a...

I'm sorry I became inactive after getting help from all of you great people! I have no excuses. I have been wondering how busy the site is in the off season, and it looks like you guys still frequent the site! I will be checking back in as often as I can. Hope all is well with TFP.com

I know it is a type of cleaner, but the house was built in the 40's, and this looks older than the house! I know where the cleaner port is, and assume I chunk it in, and plug it up. Is there a checklist I need to go over before doing so? sent from the device my boss pays the bill for, so I...

Ok, I admit it. We were just too excited, and went swimming prematurely. I knew the pH would be low, and the chlorine would be high, but we couldn't stand it. Tonight I wanted to test and properly balance. Test results: FC 7.5 CC 0.5 ph 7.2 TA 40 CYA 40-50 (RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE) CH 125 I...

:handwave: My name is Gary. I like romantic walks on the beach... oh, wait, wrong website! Happily married to my soul-mate (who occasionally drives me crazy), with two children. As some of you know, my daughter just turned 6, and my son is 9, going on 30! I am a collision center...

I have been reading this forum for a week after google introduced us. I have read "pool School" a couple of times in the time since I first visited. My family and I have just moved into a home with a 25,000 gal inground chlorine pool. Upon removing the cover, not knowing anything about a...
