Thanks! The lower PH over winter must be the problem. I have never used pucks.

Thank you for the information ! I had not thought about the return/swimmer holes! Can you explain why or how the PH effects the liner? I started out using Baqucil MISTAKE!! Until I found this site!!!!! I think I’ve been doing TFP for about 4 years now and will never regret it! I keep my PH...

Is there anyway to stretch out my liner without lowering water level really low? My liner is 9 years old and has several wrinkles on the sides and a pretty good air pocket under the liner around the top.

Both. I have an an above ground and have been using this site for 3 years. It is GREAT!!

Does anyone know of a place on online that sells replacement rails and is reliable? I have looked but not positive what to order. None look exactly like mine. Also, my rails are metal and have rusted out on a few pieces, would it be better to replace with resin? I have an Oracle 52” Garden...

My TA is always around 100. Do I need it lower? How do I test my salt level?

I have had my Oracle Shimmer 52” pool for 7 years, and it is beginning to rust on the underside of the top railing. Rust drops into my pool!! I was wondering what could be the cause?? I started off using the “dreaded” Bacquicil, then switched over to TFP. This has been my 3 or 4 year using this...

I’ve had an Oracle above ground pool for 7 years. I have been using the TFP method for the last four, after using the dreaded Bacqucil!!! The bottom of the top rail around my pool is beginning to rust and when bumped pieces of rust fall into my pool. I have kept my chemicals in balance using...

I need to replace the sight glass on my Filter tank because the washer in the end of the glass is warped and water is spraying out when I backwash. The glass is fine. Can I replace just the the washer ( it is sort of one way breather valve) my husband’s description! ? Or should I replace the...

Use a hairnet. You can buy a package of 100 for about $6.00 on Amazon, and yes put it inside the basket and put elastic around outside edge! works great... Almost no backwashing, saves tons of water!

Yes, I think understand what you are saying. Thanks for the explanation that's what I needed to know!

By the way I love this site!! It has helped me tremendously, and I have learned SOOOO much!! I have told several people about it!! I just want to make sure I understand. I have added acid twice now since my last post to reduce my PH to 7.2. I have got myself confused....is this where I should...

Ok, please have patience with me!! I added 128 oz. of the "Green Klean Strip" Muriatic Acid this a.m. (I did some more searching on TFP and found how others had adjusted using the same stuff!!) Pool Math said to add 151 oz. but I only had one bottle of 128 oz., so added it all! It did the trick...

Thanks for your help. I've been trying to figure out how to post a thread since last year, glad I finally figured it out. Now for a new question...I put my figures in Pool Math and it gives different % for Muriatic Acid. I went to Walmart this morning and purchased "Klean Strip" Muriatic Acid...

I switched over from using Baquacil to Chlorine last year. My pool has looked great with no problems (after the change over was complete). BUT all last year and now beginning this year with opening to pool my CYA, TA, and Ph reading seems off compared to what I see on TFP. Here are my readings...
