Found this out from spending about 2 hrs in Leslie Pools in Burbank, CA and then calling them on phone with questions! GREAT guys there!
Had a tough time in the beginning with our pool. Pool guy from Kona was worthless and just kept adding more chemicals, and charging us a ton here in Kapoho.
On my mom's pool grout was coming apart! (he blamed it on tile guy! and I knew this was BS) It helped hers immensely in Honomu.
Finally my husband got rid of idiot pool guy at both houses. Became our pool guy himself!
LP told us add baking soda. Was buying it at longs on sale for 99 cents a pond or 50 lbs for about $35 at BEI. Was a major improvement with ph balancing and helped also to keep the organics to a minimum. We put it in our catchment tank now too. (Much smaller amount than pool that people swim in though!)
