Hello all, so I am new to having a pool and the TFP method and so far so good (knock on wood) my numbers are great, I am really getting the hang of it. BUT some questions,
1. My husband and I both work full time, so we check our pool numbers at night (around 7:00 pm) and add when we need to so we have our pump run from 4:00-9:00 pm because I believe that pump needs to be on when you add chemicals correct?
2. On weekends, we use the pool the most, pretty much all day. I like the pump on to clear everything out before I use it, so I usually manually put it on in the morning, and it usually runs all day, is that ok, that during the week its on only at night and weekends, its on more like almost 12 hours?
3. Should I test the water around the same time every day? So on Friday, it will be around 7:00 pm but the weekends I am home, can I do it at 10:00 am on Saturday, or should it be around the same time every day?
I am sorry if these are silly questions, I have to admit I am pretty proud of myself, because my pool looks awesome and clear, and I just want to make sure I am doing everything in my power to keep it that way!!
