Thanks for having me on the forums, folks!
I've lurked here a bit over the last year, and really like what I see. I've also used the Pool Math app and have recently upgraded it for this season. Thought I'd make it official by creating an account and giving back a bit!
A little background on me- Stepped into a service manager position with a pool builder some years ago to help them roll out new hardware and software, after tightening up their IT, accounting, etc. as a consultant. Used experience I had gained working on boats to keep water on the right side of the barriers and rebuild some pumps! I found a certification in plaster pool startup chemistry to give myself the leg up on learning that piece, and came to realize my own specs after seeing so many examples. Recently rejoined the industry with my own service company after a stint turning around a commercial pool, and became a Certified Pool & Spa Operator. You guys may be interested to know they are subtly tweaking industry standard LSI ranges to better align with Calcium Saturation Index! My specs made the commercial pool so clear and soft that people who had been members for 50 years said it's the best they had ever seen.
It's a LOT like TFP!
For now, just want to say I really appreciate what you all are doing, and hope I can contribute going forward!
