Hello all! I am a new pool owner (pool was installed late last season June 2021). I unfortunately went to the pool store every two weeks to have my water tested. Luckily no problems with the water last year but I did notice I always needed to add “something” to adjust my water chemistry. This year I decided to try out the TFP method and purchased a TF pro test kit for salt water pools. I spent the entire weekend testing the water and adjusting with chemicals. Below are my latest results and any input would be appreciated. I just want to make sure I’m on the correct path to a trouble free pool! I have been logging all my results into the pool math app as well. Thanks!

Looks perfect! If you suspect algae or see any cloudiness, you might want to do an Overnight Chlorine Loss Test.

With a TA of 70, your pH should be pretty stable. You can let it ride up to the top of the acceptable range before taking any action.

How Clear is TFP Clear? Let's See (Pics Only Please).

How clear should my water be? A very common question. Here is mine on a calm morning where I could finally vacuum. Yes I know, I'm still manually vacuuming. It took me 7 years to finally get an SWG, I'm working on a robot. :) So now let's see your water clarity.
