    Literally a coffee thread … 😂

    So I make my own coffee at home the way I like it every time all the time. No lines, no how'd you like your coffee... When I travel it's still my coffee to my taste. A couple years back on a transatlantic flight I was well prepared with my coffee grinds already in the filter and had my pour over...

    Almost every day I do something stupid.. Here's todays...

    Just discovered this post but I'm not getting how the sparks got to the glove. As was said you must be lefty and holding the handle which I get. I think the guard for the wheel should have been oriented in such a way that the sparks take off in a forward direction which in your case was clearly...

    Just to add to ^^ keep the test going as it'll start turning pink again on its own and you want to see if the CC changes the solution not the time.

    test kits/tfp supporter grip

    Besides they are always fresh and current whereas on Amazon you have no idea where it sat for how long it sat and then get some erroneous results that will throw you on a loop.

    New twist on the hose siphon method!

    I have pumps of different flavors. My last recently purchased pump is a 3" effluent water gasoline pump to rid a pool of its contents in short order.

    New twist on the hose siphon method!

    Another method I do when I vac the pool with a 42' hose is to connect the hose end to the vac head and the pole, drop it in the water. Take the other end of the hose and put it in front of a working return jet and it'll blow out all the air towards the vac head. When the bubbles stop you know...

    Info and Advice on Tankless Water Heaters

    I'm in full agreement with going the route you chose but I'd consider a mixing valve setup right above the tank which makes it most efficient by mixing the water to a set temp and sending that temp out throughout the home. Obviously the temp you chose is a little hotter then you can tolerate...

    Info and Advice on Tankless Water Heaters

    I had a tankless for close to 12 years and at the time the only vent pipe was a double walled stainless steel with dedicated gaskets and clamps which can be costly. Tankless heaters are usually side wall vented and need the double wall vent pipe.

    Info and Advice on Tankless Water Heaters

    Good point, I always had a whole house standby automatic generator so it wasn't an issue but can see that being a problem.

    Info and Advice on Tankless Water Heaters

    As far as thankless heaters I had one for 10+ years until I went with high efficiency boiler system for the whole house so at the time I switched to indirect hot water. One tip many don't know about is to install a mixing valve right at the output to the hot water tank so there's no way to...

    Teen birthday pool party

    Yeh just remember to over chloinate with LC before to compensate for some of the bio left behind when the party's over and then some more when it's over, this way you're safe all around.

    Ahh-Some in Washing Machine

    If you want to speed the gasket cleaning you can pause the cycle mid point, open door and pull back the the gasket where the nasties hide take a cup full from the drum pour it in there then with a medium soft bristle brush work it a bit. That's what I did.

    Ahh-Some in Washing Machine

    I could see it working even in a TFP hot tub but poolwise for our TFP clear pools it aint going to anything because there's nothing there. That's for the pool store buff that will try anything they see. @JoyfulNoise beat me to it again

    Ahh-Some in Washing Machine

    My front loader never smelled cuz I keep the door open all the time but the bio gunk, that was my issue. Now after there is a residual smell eventhough I used the machine for laundry but maybe it woke up some stuff so I'll let slide for a bit to see if it changes.

    Ahh-Some in Washing Machine

    I highly recommend this stuff. So I'm here to report I used the hot tub jet cleaner in my front loader and that stuff works fantastic although I ran it several cycles because this has been going on for years till I figured out what the heck it was. I had this bio garbage mainly in the...

    Neighbor's Pool

    Heyeng Was just looking through your media and spotted your equipment pad picture with the circupool SWCG on the heater output which is correct but why is the flow switch in front of it not being used but instead you have it on your accessory/feature pump which to me isn't right. If you are to...

    This is NOT TFP clear 😳

    Hey, before I came to TFP you could've fooled me too but not anymore. My wife always tells me to keep my mouth shut when we go to some friends or family with a pool. Once I felt I need to wash my hands after handling a water sample and the guy says to me "you see I gave up the pool guy and got...

    Water temp for winter days (Florida)

    Yo, Was just peaking at your poolmath log to see the levels but your FC in the log of late is missing and the few before are too low. Get the level up where it should be before you get a surprise. Also no mention of the CC and CYA level.
