Fluff, JamesW has forgotten more about pools than most of here even know... :mrgreen: You would be wise to listen to his advice.. I'm closing this thread. Thanks, Jim R.

Fluff, Let's see if @onBalance has any words of wisdom for ya!! Might help if you outlined the issue with your plaster. Even if you win the case it doesn't mean you will ever get any money. Thanks, Jim R.

Dad, Well, just based upon the fact that your pool builder is selling you an IntelliFlo with SVRS, I can only assume that he has no clue what he is selling... :( I have three pools.. Two have the normal IntelliFlo and the pool at my house has the IntelliFlo with SVRS.. The two normal...

Joe, Most people get to know there pool pretty quickly and find it is not necessary to test every day. Using test strips is fine as long as you understand their limitations. Our goal is to teach pool owners what they need to know, so they understand what they are doing, and not to tell them...

Steve, Turnover itself is not a myth.. What is a myth is when it is used in the context of ... "I have to turnover my pool water x times a day otherwise my pool will turn green.." No one here cares how many times someone wants to turnover their pool water. We just want to make sure no one...

I think the horse had died.. :mrgreen: Jim R.

Phil, I think you miss the whole point.. We are not trying to tell anyone that they can't run their filter for as long as they want... We are just trying to tell them that they don't have to run the filter based on the turnover myth.. If you have dust problems, and you believe running the...

mojo, I sneeze a lot when in my pool, but I assume it is because of the bright sunlight... Just so that you know.. A SWCG pool is a chlorine pool.. the SWCG just makes the chlorine instead of you manually adding it. Thanks, Jim R.

O. There are two types of Fusion systems.. The one you have, which uses chlorine tablets and minerals, and one that looks identical to me, that uses a SWCG and minerals... Check with you pool builder and see if you can just swap at the systems.. If he says yes, then just remove the mineral...

20, Please read this.. https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/alternative-sanitizers-and-chemical-free-pools-the-truth.2834/ You can also use our Advanced search box and enter "Fusion Mineral System" and see what we really think.. :) Thanks, Jim R.

Rocket, I completely missed the problem. It is not that we have been bumping the thread to get more eyes on it, but that it "appears" the we only want an "expert" to add comments... Is that correct? If so, we can fix that easy... Thanks for the great feedback, Jim R.

R, I believe the idea is that we do not want the OP to think that we have forgotten them.. Please keep in mind that we are all volunteers and have very different levels of expertise. So while I might know a lot about one subject, I might have zero knowledge about a different subject. If the...

Jack, I'm pretty sure there is not a lot of "conflicting" opinions on this product here at TFP... Magic just does not exist, and no matter what you call it, when all is said and done, you are not going to find a rabbit in that hat.. Jim R.

Re: Test kit or no test kit? E, So tell us why you think it is not necessary for a pool owner to have an accurate test kit. We are all about testing to determine what needs to be added (or not added) to a pool to keep the water balanced. How do you propose to do it without testing...

Thomas, I concur with Donldson except I think he is missing one ... :laughblue: It is obviously your pool and you can do what you want, but I'm curious if you have been using the TFP pool care process since 2016 and if so, what problems have you been having??? Thanks, Jim R.

B, Really??? How do you figure that? I have three saltwater pools and none have any automated acid injections and my pH stays relatively stable at 7.8.. I guess I need to tell them that they are all doing something wrong... :p 10 minutes a week is about all you need to ensure you pH stays...

Re: Will going salt help with algae? A pHin Discussion P, Welcome to TFP... A great place to find the answers to all your pool maintenance questions... :shark: The short answer is... NO, it will not on its own.. No matter how you chlorinate your pool, you still have to continually test...

Reed, Liquid Chlorine will eliminate CYA increase, but won't have any effect on your CH which I understand if from your fill water.. If I were using a Tablet feeder, I would run with the valve wide open, to prevent clogging, and just limit the number of hours I run my pump to control the...

Reed, You'll find that most of our pool owners no longer use tab feeders as the use of chlorine tablets increases your CYA to unacceptable levels over time. That said, some here do use them while on vacation, etc... Can you please explain what you mean when you say... "I have to replace the...

Packrat, Welcome to TFP... A Great resource for all wishful thinking pool owners... :drown: If you want to see how accurate Pool $tore testing is, take the same sample to three different pool stores and compare the results... Your answer will be pretty obvious.. It really makes little...
