So, as I approach the project of replacing my pool deck I'm unsure how one would go about placing pavers on top of the required bonding grid. My experience with pavers has been to set them on a sand bed, tamp then fill with polymeric sand. Is it permissible or effective to have the grid buried...

So, after being in our new home for 1 year and dealing with the nuisance voltage felt due to improper bonding, we have decided to have the pool removed and a new one installed. What price can be expected for the removal of a 33k gallon vinyl with probably a gunite replacement? Is there any...

This will be my 2nd year of pool ownership, followed TFP directions all last year and also the TFP Winterizing instructions last fall...so far so good, was anxious to see what was waiting for me underneath the cover this spring. Waited for the snow to melt, cleared the cover, changed 300 lbs...

I was about to order some chemical refills from TFTestkits.com but I now see three options and am confused which I need since I'm not ta the house where my kit is. I need the chemical you put in after the DPD powder when testing for your FC levels (to get it to turn from red to clear). I...

So my pool has remained largely in good balance so far this season (knock on wood) thanks to the TFPC Method. My FC levels are typically right around 3-3.5, the pH fluctuates but I have been intentionally bumping it down then aerating to lower my TA (which is starting to work). So this weekend...

I just added 80oz. Of Muriatic to bring my PH down. How long until it's safe to swim? Also, my son and I notice that the water burns our skin around the fingernails, especially when first putting your hand in the water. What might cause that? All levels have been ok and in range except the...

I have gone from 7.4 to 7.0 since Tuesday. What would cause it to drop like that? Only thing I've done is put CYA in to bring it up from 0. In fact those socks are still in there dissolving. TA remains high but constant. #'s from tonight: Salt 3200 ( dropped from 3400 yesterday!?) FC 4 CC...

So, my levels have been acceptable so far this year (at least I think they're OK). The two things that are way off and don't appear to be changing are my CYA and my high TA levels. I have added CYA in both liquid and granular forms but it has not yet been a week so testing is futile...in fact...

So here are my numbers from today. Salt 2800ppm FC 3.5 CC 0 PH 7.4 CYA 0? (The K-2006 kit says to pour the cloudy solution in until the black dot disappears, but my solution was crystal clear not cloudy) TA 130 I don't yet have the water temp but its way too cold to swim. I am also having...

So I came home today to find that my pump had been running dry for roughly 10 hours. It got so hot that the water inside the hose was steaming. Apparently when it turns off it also loses its prime and never got it back. So, from what I've read I must begin the search for an air leak and...

Hello all, I just recently bought a home here in northern UT that has an in ground pool. It is roughly 20' x 40' and ranges from 3' to 9' deep. It is using a Hayward super pump 1.5hp, a Hayward sand filter and the Chlorination is provided by a Compupool chlorine generator. I look forward to...
