Hello TFP Community! First post here. My pool is under construction. Specs should be in signature. During the build I’ve been reading up on maintaining pools. Came upon the TFP method. Buy into the TFP logic, read the pool school book, and TF-100 kit will be ordered soon!
Reason for my post is to ask if I should have (think I still can at this point in the build) gone with a SWG?
I’ve heard pros and cons of a SWG pool e.g. corrosion/wear and tear of pool equipment, issues with soft stone (our coping is travertine) - but sealing can resolve this issue? Maintain proper levels CC, pH, TA, etc. and corrosion/wear and tear shouldn’t be a problem?
I’ve read several TFP threads on SWG vs Chlorinated and I’m undecided. Cost is another factor in that I know SWG is more upfront BUT liquid chlorine prices seem to be on the rise and getting product looks to be getting more difficult too.
In preparing to add chlorine daily, and attempting to try and save time on pool upkeep long term, I’ve been looking to a Stenner 30 gallon peristaltic system with a UV protected tank. Considered this based on other TFP users approaches.
Any advice or .02 cents based on your experience is GREATLY appreciated.
