I don’t want to keep spending so much on chemicals anymore, I use muractic acid as a ph reducer, but what else can I save money on? I have heard of people using bleach? I use the vivid and shimmer but it’s crazy expensive! Thanks
Simple Salt is a silver/copper/oxygen based sanitizing system. There was someone else here with that system trying to clear an algae bloom recently.Welcome to TFP.
What is vivid and shimmer? Probably magic potions sold by pool stores.
Chlorinate with liquid chlorine bought at a big box store or get a SWG which is the least cost way long term to chlorinate your pool.

I understand, just answering your question about vivid and shimmer.That will cost the OP a lot to clear the stains the silver and copper will cause. It is not a simple low cost system.
