CDO, this is just an unfortunate byproduct of comming here and beleiving that pools don't have to be expensive (to maintain) nor a nightmare, however it's easily removed - just start going to the pool store and buying everything they try to sell you (actually get 3 of everything and add it all at once, it'll speed up the process)
Congrats on caring enough to spend the 2 -5 min/ day to protect your investment, the ease is just payback for your having good sense! - Waste
