My brother is looking to buy a house that has a pool. I've got a pool with a SWG and have been using the TFP method for 7 years now, so he was looking to me for help with his potential new pool. The first thing that stuck out to us was that it is a mineral water pool using a PoolFrog Mineral/Chlorine sanitizer. This was the first time I've heard of that, so we looked it up and have an idea of how it works, but I was wondering if anyone had more details, specifically related to pool chemical levels.
Supposedly the amount of chlorine that you need is much less than SWG or chlorine pools. I read that you really only want .5 ppm of FC, but that seems like a very low margin of error between things working and a pool full of algae. Would the TFP method work with this type of pool? I feel like he could still use the TFP method but would lose the benefits of the mineral water pool, which is essentially saving money on chlorine costs.
Thoughts? Thanks in advance!
