TiVo! That is stunning!

@BadDogPSD -- love the dolphins! And sleeting???

@JodieM -- you're definitely getting there!

Thanks! Yes, we got some sleet, snow and hail yesterday. Somewhat unusual for this time of year but not unheard of.
In the mid 90's last week, cold storm over the weekend (of course), back to the upper 80's this week. Keeps things interesting I guess!

Baddog, your dolphins look like they are in motion - love them!

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

Let's play name that bug

Scorpion, yikes!

Scorpion, yikes!

Yeah but not a big one. Had three of them in the pool that day. Spread some Triazicide around the yard/perimeter of pool and haven't seen any, scorpions or crawly bugs, since. Frogs on the other hand, my wife's nemesis, seem to like the pool (bastages). She's afraid of frogs and the dreaded turtle (go figure, like you can't out run either).

Can't get the same beautiful shots as most of you all but here is mine. I inherited the creases in the liner when I bought the house, now that the water is so clear they are driving me crazy!



This is my main drain cover, pretty easy to make out the philips head screws 9' down

Clear water, it's both a blessing and a curse

I recently located my wife's lost 1/4" earring while standing at the 8.5' end of the pool. That's clarity.

If this thread doesn't prove tfp owner maintenance and testing is the way to go, words never will. Here's hoping all newcomers pay attention and see the light!

Hi Everyone,

I've been lurking here for a few weeks after stumbling upon this site while trying to understand the breakpoint chlorination section in my Taylor test kit manual.

I have since adopted the TFP way, completing my first SLAM about 10 days ago and finally solving the mystery of why my filter kept plugging up all last season, despite clear(ish) water. Spoiler alert: it was algae.

Anyway, the pool is sparkling now and (to head off the question) I'm using up the last of my trichlor since CYA is a bit on the low side.

Mine is so clear I can see the dirt on the bottom, so no picture, cause you all would rass me for still manually cleaning, and only tasking once a week. Still swim though. You all keep up the great work, just goes to show that you can own a pool, with less maintenance and money than folks think you do. Our oasis!

Ya'll need to all watermark TFP over your pics so Leslies doesn't get any ideas!!

I just waited until my weekly vacuuming to take my photos >.>

I bushed around 1 of my drains and zoomed in. The rest of the pool may or may not have been clean, but whether it was or wasn’t, you could see every mm of bottom. Sand and all....... um. I mean sand or no sand and all.

Upvote for originality. Well done.

Here's my entry! What a bunch of crystal clear pools.

@monoptn that is a terrific example of pool moods. For both being blue, you have 2 completely different pools there. Each neat in their own way.
