New to TFP

[bellehill]

We installed a 7,500 gallon above ground (although slightly sunken) Kayak pool in September 2019….yes, right before the pandemic. The first 1-2 years were pretty good, the last 1-2 years I continually have problems with CYA. Several trips to Leslie’s and several hundred dollars later I went to a local pool store who told me to add baking soda. My eyes were opened and no more trips to Leslie’s for us! Hoping TFP will be easy and successful this year!

Hey bellehill and Welcome !!!!!

several hundred dollars later I went to a local pool store

The small store exists to sell you chemicals just like the big store. Even if Mom and Pop have the best intentions, they still follow industry advice which is designed to fleece you. We'll walk you through it on the cheap and easy. click the blue links:
