    My TF Kit was missing the scooper

    I was so confused for a min of "how much is a heaping scoop" but then I went to the site and realized I didn't get the scooper thing. How big is the scooper so I can just use something else to scoop it?

    No/low chlorine with this cheap amazon/chinese SWG (Pomeade EC16)

    This unit is for 20,000 gallons and I have an 11,000 gallon pool. https://amzn.to/446y830 Installed this about a month ago and all was going well. I had low levels of chlorine, put it on boost for a few days and then the level started coming up. I eventually started just running it on it's...

    Pentair 320 Chlorinator vs "manually" adding chlorine vs going to SWG?

    Basically a new pool owner here, parents had one (I was too young to know what was up), in-laws had one and my wife did help maintain and understood it.... but this was decades ago. So... now I have a 11,000G in ground pool with Hayward Variflo XL on the sand filter, Pintair Challenger pump...

    Pulling my (stuck) ladder for the winter/cover.

    New pool owner here, purchased a home 2 weeks ago with an inground pool and it had a pool cover in storage. Though the cover has seen better days, we will use it for sure this year. Realized we need to pull the ladder out to properly cover the pool but one problem, seems like it won't budge...
