I would add pirates to this pool and keep a higher FC level. The borates could possibly help you more than anything. I would wait on a TF100 test kit and also order the borate test strips from tftestkits.net.
That is an outrageous amount of backswimmers to have!
Yeah, I saw it before you edited it to borates... I was going to ask where it the best place to buy pool pirates! LOL!
Yes definitely going to try and get a taylor kit this weekend. PH was still at 7.8 so i added muriatic acid again last night. Looking so forward to getting the water right to keep these bugs out! Im so frustrated with this. Should I pick up some bleach and backing soda too and stop using the tablets (BBB method)? Guess i'll give the algae guard a break for a few days too. Right now i have to raise chlorine to shock level to kill these things, but that still doesnt keep them from staying away when they hit the water. Here are a couple more pics from just one day of bugs i vacuumed. There must be 1000 of em.
Do they swim to the top to get air sometimes? If so dawn should work if not then not sure that will solve the issue
