New from Tucson, rapidly sinking...

[Brosputni]

Hey everyone. Just bought a house out here in Tucson, AZ. First time pool owner. Trying to navigate the maintenance side of things but finding clear info has become daunting. I’ll post a new thread with equipment and issues as soon as I figure out how.

Welcome to the TFP pool! :splash:

I'll make part of it easy for you. Click on this button to edit your signature and add the following information so we can better frame our answers to you.

• List what test kit you use to test your water
  
• The size of your pool in gallons
  
• If your pool is an AG (above ground) or IG (in ground)
  
• If it's IG, tell us if it's vinyl, plaster/pebble, or fiberglass
  
• The type filter you have (sand, DE, cartridge)
  
• If you know, tell us the make and model of your pump and filter.
  
• List any other equipment you have: SWG, second pump, etc.
  
• Please mention if you fill the pool from a well or are currently on water restrictions

Information in your signature will show up each time you post and it makes advice more accurate as we know what equipment we are dealing with.

Welcome! I maintained two pools the hard way for many years (cheap test kits and bad pool store advise) before I found this site. So glad I follow TFP methods now. It is far cheaper and I know it is done right. It won't be long and you will be better than the pool store "pros".
