Feeder is emptied ... no tabs .... no graular shock ... only liquid chlorine ... I started last week and I am keeping my FCL levels between target and minimum for my CYA . I am testing twice daily just to get an idea of how much chlorine loss I have daily . I am adding acid to decrease my ph to 7.4 as it rises to 7.8 so as to get my TA down . My CYA came down this past week some already but I bought a sump pump and plan to do a water transfer in the next couple of weeks . I AM A TFP BELIEVER ... ALL IN ??????
I'm with you on this one, TFP all the way. My water never looked clearer. When I got my first pool I went to the store and spent about $300. "Oh yeah, you're going to need this" they said and handed me a chlorine tab floatie and a bucket of tabs. I used to fill it religiously and although my pool had it's good days where the water was crystal clear, the smell of chlorine, cost of chemical upkeep and struggle was too much. TFP is so much easier and cheaper it's hard to believe. But the best thing is how empowering it is to be able to troubleshoot and correct issues yourself.
That pretty much captures what this forum is about in a single sentence.
