Hello!
I've been lurking here for a while trying to learn how to take care of my new pool and I think I've got an overall understanding of the TFP method and I can't wait to try it. My pool was plastered 9 days ago and the pool builder came by this morning to give me "Pool School" instructions of pool basics, but he really just left me at the mercy of Leslie's. All he said was "put chlorine tablets in here and take some water to Leslie's to get tested and they will tell you everything you need to maintain the pool." Now, I've spent enough time here to know better than that! I am full of questions though, I have never in my life taken care of a pool before. I'm hoping you guys can point me in the right direction. My main questions right now are:
1. How soon can I start the TFP method?
2. Should I continue using the tablets for now?
3. I have a spa that is flush with the pool, does the same method apply to the spa? Do I also test the water in the spa separately?
I think I got all the basic information in my signature. Let me know if there is anything I missed.
Thanks in advance!
