Is stabilizer necessary?

[JimK]

My advice is just keep up the borate, stop the polyquat, and brush more. It's good that you have a pressure side cleaner since they act as as moving 'return' and help improve circulation. Running it it bit more often or a bit longer might be helpful but your electricity useage will go up.Brusihing the pool more often is cheaper!

Thanks for the tips.

Brush more? ugh! I'd rather pay for the electricity to run the cleaner more often. Can you tell I just "love" brushing (LOL)?
