Local Home Depot has box of 2 for $14.98, and Lowe's $12.98, so Walmart still has a better price, if available.

Local Walmart also has 2-pack/box for $11.29, like 5c cheaper with the 23 date stamp.

The ones near me don't have any in stock are listing $10.88/box, and the ones do have them are $17.13. LoL.

WTF?! Lowe's is about $12. I guess I have to skip 3, 4 Starbucks. LOL. The good thing is the Sun is shifted now, so the water temp is lowering.

It was about the same $8.99 but for 2 x 128. Now it's about $1 more, but they are always in stock. The power chlorine went way up, at least at Leslie's, and now they keep giving out these 15% off promotions. LOL.

I too, just get my chlorine from Home Depot. The price is up just a bit from last year, but not too bad. I hardly use anything other than in the summer, so I don't worry a little price difference. Muriatic acid goes way up for some reasons, so I go to Lowe's to get that.

I usually get the 2 x 128 boxes from Home Depot (HDX) or Lowe's (Kem-Tek), and it looks like both are $1 more now.

In So Cal, Lowe's Kem-Tek 2 x 1 Gal 10% $7.98.

I usually drop in the floater with couple tablets to up the CYA a bit in the winter.

My pump runs during the day, so I usually run the robot early in the morning or later at night, letting the the dirt or whatever settle to the bottom for it to pick up.

Clarifer is supposed to lump the finer particles together so they get filtered out easier. I used it on occasions, well, usually when I messed up. One time I got lazy and instead of cleaning the filter grids, I just back washed. When I turned the water back, all kind of fine dirt and stuff...

LOL, yeah, I do have a tiny bit of the "algae on plaster" from time to time - true, I see what you're saying. Since it's too cold to actually use the pool at this point, it wouldn't go "full green" as long as the pool is maintained with the "minimum effort" as suppose to what's like in the...

Yeah, I understand that there are always places where the robots can't reach. I'm not talking about that. It's the middle bottom and walls. Also, I have a rectangular shape pool, so there are not obstacles the robot has to deal with. Maybe because the S200 is a bit smaller and lighter...

It's as simple as how clean the bottom and walls are after a cycle, comparing to the Nautilus I had.

Have the S200 for 5 months now. While it's doing fine, but I don't think it's cleaning as well as my last 1st generation Nautilus Plus. The Nautilus Plus actually scrubbed the plaster pretty well. A bit disappointed by S200's performance...
