Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I live in Palm Springs with hideous heat in the Summer, (120 is not rare!) which means my pool can go South in a second if the chemicals are not perfectly balanced. I have battled with trying to maintain the clorine levels (which the hot Sun eats up immediately); and to deter green algae growth,(which LOVES the heat). I've wasted hundreds on chemicals, and test kits and cleaning my filters sometimes every week in the Summer! I had to drain the pool several times and acid wash just to get it back to normal. Cut to this Summer- I read some reviews about this prodcut that honestly sounded too good to be true, but for $20. I thought I'd try it out. Gods knows we've tried everything else. Well, its been almost a month now, and we have had the worst hot weather which is when the algae usually starts up, but since I started using this, I swear- there is NO MORE ALGAE! I used to vacumn the massive amounts of green algae off the walls every day and left my pump and pool vac robot running for over 12-14 hours! Now I just use these tablets with my cloring tablets and I cut the pump running to 8 hours, and STILL NO ALGAE. My pool used to also get really cloudy for no reason, but not since I started using this. I have done nothing different other than add this product to my 2 clorine floaties and keep adding tablets along with cloring tablets. I have not had toshock the pool since, or clean my filters yet. I have yet to see any algae- I am still in shock. I have not had to brush the walls for almost a week! (Though I will anyway, just to be safe). Great if you live in the desert and clorine levels dissapate far too quickly. It helps the clorine last longer, and helps it stay balanced so it keeps the water crystal clear.
