New member, although I've been lurking for a while. Wanted to Introduce myself. I live in Whitehouse (Tyler), Tx and just bought a new-to-me house with a pool. My first pool, so I am glad I found this awesome forum! I Look forward to getting the pool ready using the TFP method and the help of the TFP community.
I received my TF-100 test kit today and ran my first series of tests. CYA is through the roof (probably due to the previous owners total reliance on his in-line puck tube). PoolMath recommends a 50% drain. I think I'll call the local fire department tomorrow and see if they do complimentary fills. Worth a shot. The test results are in this thread... http://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/99601-New-House-New-Pool-New-Test-Kit..., so please have a look and let me know what you think.
Nice to meet everyone!
