If you are not having algae problems, what is "normal" for pool maintenance? (mostly interested in chemical amounts)
My "normal":
Add 30 oz. Clorox each morning
Add 8 oz. MA about every 3 or 4 days (not sure why pH seems to creep up)
Empty skimmer basket once per week (unless it's been real windy)
Empty pump basket about once per month (never has much in it)
Empty Legend Platinum about every other week
Backwash about every other month
Shocked once this summer when I forgot to add Clorox one day (FC got too low)
(did some brushing for a couple days then)
Jump in daily.
