If you follow the dump and refill advice, call a friend at the local fire dept. Being a small town, I'm sure you know someone. They might be willing to bring you a tanker of water to fill back up with. Never hurts to ask, right?

We are in Arkadelphia and use Troublefreepool method exclusively. If you'll listen to these people your pool will be swimming by the time your water warms up. We get our liquid chlorine at Atwoods. They run it for $7.99 a case every couple of weeks in their ad. They also have a half gallon...

Wow! Hard to believe I've been using TFPC Method for nearly 2 months. The results couldn't be more amazing. We have very little full sun so FC usage is fairly low, or atleast it seems like it is. I test FC and CC every 2 to 3 days and add bleach as needed. Once a week, I run a full battery...

Atwoods rules! I shop there for almost anything before hitting the bigger stores!

If you have an Atwoods nearby... $7.99 for a case of 4 gallons 10% pool shock. On sale until Sunday July 27.

That's probably it. I don't go that far down usually so I forgot about it. And rarely use that calculator since installing the Pool Pal app. Maybe the developer will read this thread and consider adding that feature to their app.

I either don't understand what you mean by you can't see the effects of adding your chemicals or they have upgraded the app. You set up your target levels, input your readings, and it tells you how much of what chemical to put in to change your levels to your target. The effect of your...

+3 This app is great. I use it every time I test. When you set your target results a little chart pops up with several different methods listed. TFP just happens to be one of those lines.

Cool! I am just about to study up on borates and this lower chlorine usage is going to spur me on! P.S. Cool profile picture!

What a transformation! And I don't just mean the pool. I quietly subscribed to your "ool newbie" thread to sit back and watch both your pool and you transform. I remember how frantic and overwhelmed you were just a couple of weeks ago! (I was disappointed when that thread got locked, but I...

I see one row of "tiles" on the right side and three rows of "tiles" on the left. So you are probably close to 3" out of level. That will put a lot of extra stress on the right side of the pool. TFP will recommend releveling as less than 1" is the standard for safety reasons. If that thing...

I can admit when I make a mistake... My sample sizer came in yesterday. When I ran through my tests, I got to the end and thought, "wait a minute! I didn't use the 10 ml end of this thing. I know I am supposed to." My 11.5 ppm should have been 4.6 ppm since I accidentally ran the test with...

Update. Yesterday afternoon after making the first haul to the lake. We returned home to get the food and the fur kids. I tested the FC and CC again for safe measure before leaving for the night and FC was 11.5 ppm and CC 0.5. Yesterday morning after testing, I added 23oz of 10% bleach and 2...

Thanks Butterfly! We intend to. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk

It won't be covered. But it only gets about 2 hours of full sun a day. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk

:D:D:D:cool: We used a 12ml syringe this morning. Our sample sizer will be here Monday. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk

We are only going to be camping about 30 minutes from home, so my plan is to come in every 2 or 3 days to check on it. I may even raise FC to around 8 just to be sure I don't let it dip too low. I really really want to stay away from the tabs from now on. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk

Pool filled completely and then some over night. Gave me another chance to backwash before testing. Test results this morning... Water Temp 76 F FC 4 CC approx. 0.5 (Barely turned color in speed stir tube) TA 50 CH 60 pH 7.4 The plan this morning is to add 23 oz. of 10% chlorine to raise FC...

Took most of the afternoon to drain/pump 70% of our water out, but we are now refilling. Hopefully, I can get to work on the chemicals/testing first thing in the A.M.

I'm really hoping not to have to SLAM. Camping trip starts sometime Sunday afternoon. We will only be about 20 miles from home but I really don't won't to have to go back and forth EVERYday. Back to the high level of CYA. I've been thinking and adding. I have put 3 bags of shock in over...

Gotcha, FC should drop significantly. I've decided to go ahead and pump 70% out, so assuming I lose no more FC between now and Saturday, the drain and refill should bring me down to 4 ppm FC. (Depending on how much chlorine is in my tap water.) This should reduce my CYA to around 40 ppm and...

Re: About start TFPC Method Bust away! I know where I went wrong, so hopefully I won't screw that one up again! I didn't give the stabilizer time to register, so I am sure when it finally started registering I was already through the roof. Oh yeah, there was that little ducky thing floating...

Re: About start TFPC Method Ok. So I got duckcmmndr to bring his speed stir and sample sizer over tonight to check my test results more accurately. Results are as follows... FC 16.5 CC 0.5 TA 100 CH 110 pH 7.4 CYA 135 We added dry acid to drop TA and pH and will be aerating to bring pH...

Re: About to be new to TFPC Method I have not done the dilution CYA test. I will do it when I get home and post results. Thank you!

Hi all, I'm getting ready to switch from test strips and big name chemicals to TFPC Method over the next few days/couple of weeks. I have received my K-2006 test kit. My Speed Stir and Sample Sizer are in transit. After receiving the K-2006 and before I tested with it, I dipped a test strip...
