I need help. I've tried everything and I cannot keep water bugs out of my pool. I keep my FC at 4-6, pH is currently 7.8 I believe, TA is way high and I'm working on bringing it down (last test was at 250) and have also added borates to no avail. I have to add algaecide to actually kill the little suckers, then its a chore to have to vacuum or skim them out of the pool. I've gone as far as turning off all lights around the pool at night to hopefully keep them away but no joy. Every morning I wake up to hundreds of new water boatmen in the pool, and yesterday I literally spent 2 hours inside vacuuming and cleaning the dead bugs out of it.
Any help would be appreciated!
