NEVER use the blue Chlorox tabs or the shock that is sold right beside it. That is just my opinion but I can tell you from experience, I did that one year. I thought this is "Chlorox", it must be good. My water was green, cloudy, murky, anything but clear. So, I added more and the problems...

Wow, that is a lot more than I could have imagined, but at the same time, it does comport with my experience in the past. I had to drain every other year - I just did not get the idea of draining 1-2 feet of water out of a pool that is only 5"4" in the center, so I would do a complete drain and...

Thanks Donaldson. Kroger has these Chlorox Blue tricolor tabs that they sell individually wrapped. Before going to liquid, I could not imagine why anyone would every buy individual tabs, but it is starting to make sense now. I am considering getting a bucket, filling it with water and putting...

Thanks PopcornGirl2. I had actually read your thread Warning About Walmart Liquid Chlorine already. Good info BTW. I had elected to avoid Walmart bleach in favor of stronger stuff available closer to the house. I think there are as many pool stores in my area as Starbucks, maybe the coffee...

+ 1 i switched to the TFPC (BBB) method this year, and on advise here bought the TF100 with speed stir - you want the speed stir. Swirling the tube while counting drops is like rubbing your belly and patting your head at the same time; possible but takes all your concentration. Let the...

FYI - TF ships fast and free. I ordered one a couple weeks ago, it left NC same day and was in DFW 48 hours later.

You can go to the local pol store ( avoid eye contact) or better Target or Wal-Mart and get a dedicated measuring cup. I grabbed a plastic 2cup (pint) measure and I just rinse in the pool after adding - just rinse a few feet from where you dumped the chemical.

Star Bright, I just joined and was recommended the two kits listed above. I picked the TF-100 (call it coin toss decision that was supported by a slightly lower cost and free shipping). TF shipped same day so not only free shipping but fast too. Also, I was advised to get the speed stir...
