I don't know about your steps, but mine are rotomolded Polyethylene which is highly resistant to attacks from chlorine, however, I can't say the same for a plastic skimmer which oxydizes, dries and disintegrates after long term exposure to higher concentrations of chlorine.
There are many different types of plastics, all have different properties and react differently with chemicals.
I'm a design engineer for injection molding.
I've recall hearing about plastics at some point....
I think we have the same steps. They're Royal by Lumi-O right?
Well in any event I need something with more flow I think. Maybe it's just the warm weather too though. We'll see.

Yup, same steps - there really is NO water exchange that happens with them, so keeping it chlorinated in there is definitely key.
Since the rags worked so well, we just decided to take the chlorinator and the Nature2 out of the mix entirely. It's not terrific, but the hoses we have do reach well enough for this season as is. Only took about...10 minutes. :D Thanks!
Glad that worked well for you, 2 items for the garage sale!!!
