Honeslty, guys.. this 6th year of my pool has been the happiest year i've had the pool.. i went an entire 2 months of decent FCL and first time ever a summer of zero manual scrubbing to get algae away. (just the Robot).. the only reason i even posted here in the first place was because i...

THANK YOU FOR THIS ONE. but here is my issue, when i would try to crank up the chlorine to combat it all i noticed is that i would get the FCL back up and then like a dagger in the heart it would just drop back down again.. one summer i SLAMMED three times! each time within a week i would...
