Thanks for the mention!

My pool is blue and crystal clear, but dead algae keeps falling out (opened last week) and wind borne dust and dirt keeps getting in. I've asked our son to take a pic after he vacs, but haven't got one yet. Grrrrr! I wanna post a PICKCHUR!!! :rant:

Results of the contest?

It's a happy little mine!

Here's my entry. Dad and Junior better be careful!

Just downloaded pic and will work on it tomorrow. Let's see what that fancy art school training has done!

Beautiful!

It should say a number like 202014513:45 that's 2020 the year, 145 the 145th day of the year and 13:45 the time it was manufactured. They all use Julian dating. Here's a chart for 2020 https://landweb.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/browse/calendar.html

Start with , then browse through Pool School for a good idea of what the TFP method of pool care is about. It's essentially having a good test kit and doing your own testing, then using cheap household chemicals to balance and maintain your water. Keep reading and you too can have crystal...

Yeah, that checkerboard sucks. I wish they made 14' overlap liners -- I'd be getting a new one with a border next year!

I ran my old inground pool using sticks and shock once a week, tested daily. Now I use the TFP method. To me, there's not much difference in the time it takes, but the results are millions of light years apart. I think it's the fear of the unknown that keeps folks tied to the pool store.

After the last update, I went to change the pool temp and when I clicked "new log" it said I had to subscribe. So I clicked on Subscribe and PoolMath closed. I brought it back up, clicked Subscribe from the hamburger menu, and the same thing happened. So I relaunched PM, went into the hamburger...

@Flying Tivo Felipe, you're supposed to put water in your pool for these pictures!

@BadDogPSD -- love the dolphins! And sleeting??? @JodieM -- you're definitely getting there!

That's almost spooky looking!

CRAPADOODLE!!!!! I'd be screaming like a little girl!!!

Yes it is! I wish it was camo on the inside, too, but whatcha gonna do...

Here's my pool! Yes, there's actually water in it!

Wal-Mart is letting you order mass quantities of Pool Essentials liquid chlorine for pickup again. $3.64 per 128 oz gallon.

Doh! I never noticed that before! Works like a charm... Thanks Lee.

Love the new look, but I have the same old problem I've always had -- the values I put into overview never change. For example, I tap FC and go to that page, so my calculations, log changes, then go back to Overview and no values are entered for FC. Same thing for all the other functions. Oh...

Yes, it is.

I have a question. I have the paid version, still current. I have never been able to enter my pool temperature into the app. Does this function not work? I have version 3.0.9 (3331). My tablet is a Kindle Fire HD 8, OS version 5.6.4.0 (636558720). Any ideas?

I remember that! I was looking for information on spas and couldn't get into PoolForum. Small world, isn't it?

You'll need to replace your fittings and hoses with 1.5 in fittings. Here is what I'm using when I decide to change mine You'll need three of these -- two inlets and one outlet https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003ZTM0O2?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details One of these for your outlet, where the...

I can honestly say my pool has never looked better, even though it's only 3 weeks old. My old in ground was blue but cloudy, because I was on the pool store roller coaster. This place is the absolute BEST! And if you're new and like what's happening to your pool under the TFP method, why not...

Oh, pretty good! Heading out in a few to test and vacuum. How's yours?
