Newish to Pool Ownership

[Cwiggs]

Hello TFP!

So back in July I became the proud owner of a ~21,000 gallon pool. It's an awesome pool, but I've had my share of issues with it, but I imagine that's part of the learning process.

I've checked out threads on here a bunch, what a great resource you folks have created!

Anyway, looking to learn tons more.

Thanks.

C,

Welcome to TFP and thanks for the photos. Very nice pool!

If you haven't already decided, I'd strongly recommend you consider adopting TFP methodology which will require a different test kit. You'll be glad you did it and not sure what the problems you refer to were but you'll definitely have great pool with dirt cheap generic chemicals. Here's some suggested reading for you:
ABCs of Pool Water Chemistry
FC/CYA Levels
Test Kits Compared
PoolMath

Even if you decide not to adopt TFP we'll be here to help with any questions you may have. We sell nothing so you can always count on the fact that you'll get advice that's never conflicted and we have experts in everything pool.

Good luck and again welcome aboard!

I just ordered a TF-100 kit!

Thanks for the suggestions, hopefully I can get the pool in tip top TFP standard by the summer.

Welcome! You'll be very pleased with the TF-100.
