Hi everyone. My name is Doug. I've been a pool owner for 6 years now and am just discovering this TFP method. I've been going to the pool store to have my water tested and every time I go in, there's something off with my chemistry and I end up buying something.

Been having issues this year with some algae blooms even though the water is chlorinated sufficiently. I've been treating it with sodium bromide (Yellow Treat) and that seems to take care of it.

Now my CYA is getting really high because of the tabs and shock I've been using. It's always something. I balance one thing and then another thing gets thrown off. It's frustrating trying to keep everything properly balanced.

Anyway, glad I found this forum. Hoping to learn new and less expensive ways to keep my pool up.

Cheers!

Doug
