How Clear is TFP Clear? Let's See (Pics Only Please).

Ms. Mingo & Junior are bonding.

I don't care that this will only be the 3rd season with my liner and it is structurally fine. If they come back in stock and are not astronomically priced, I WILL have a Portofino liner next season!

So if the test is flat or Phillips head screws, I’ve passed.

Everything I know about taking care of pools I learned on here. Working great so far. Thank you!

Can I join in too? I'm super proud of my pool. this is our 2nd summer with the pool - we moved in last April and it was such a difference between last Spring and this Spring. Last year when we moved in, it was a green swamp. This year, we opened to just slightly cloudy water and in a few days, we turned it around to this (pardon the dead algae dust in the one pic - the robot didn't get there yet!)

Baquacil conversation just completed this week. New DE filter in place. SGW soon to be installed. Thanks to all the help from this site and the great sharing of knowledge, I am proud to present a TFP!

It’s cheating to drain the water all out first

Robots clean the bottom and sides but don’t make it clear. They help if junk is on the bottom that is clouding the pool but clear water is more about filtration.

i mean mine is clear but some of these make mine look pitiful. I understand about the robot. I have back issues and really struggle cleaning the bottom as was wondering a robot would be worth it?

And with village water and many neighbors, not really the best. Besides, would have missed out on the color show!

I have back issues as well, yes a robot is worth it. I haven’t vacuumed the pool with the vac since I got one.

When we put our pool in back in 2006, I would get home from work and hear the pool was dirty with stuff at the bottom. During the 2nd year, life got 10x better spending $999 on the Dirt Devil branded Tigershark/Aquabot. I drop the robot in, let it do its job for 3-4 hours and its ready to go.

Matt, that is gorgeous!

Our robot is worth it. The previous owners left theirs with the pool but it died towards the end of last season so I went and bought a new one the next week after attempting to live with manual vacuuming. For some reason this year, we have an influx of worms this spring and the robot is great at cleaning those up.

amazing pools folks.

 

[Texas Splash]

Sometimes it's the simple things....... vacuum, clean filter, clean salt cell, then enjoy.

8ft deep pool. Photos have been compressed a bit by the forum software.

Obligatory "main drain" photo

An underwater picture (thought it might make a change) - the pool is 36ft long and you can see the whole length no problem. Fun to wear a mask and spy on the shallow end

A picture from the patio. Hovering inflatable!


Got the robot doing its thing daily. Solar cover on most of the day and overnight. PoolMath is happy with no warnings!

 

[atccf]

Approximately 50ft up and you can see the main drains in the 8ft deep end. Thanks TFP!

Hats off to another TFP clear pool
