Yes you are right in your analysis.
The most economical regime for any pool uses the base chemical treatment rather than the commercial bundled branded version.
Hence:
- Sensitisation - Eau de javel (sodium hypo chloride)
- pH Balance - Sulphuric acid or hydrochloric acid or dry acid (sodium bisulphate)
- Stabiliser - cyan uric acid
- Total alkalinity - bicarbonate of soda
If you are happy to handle these chemicals manually then it’s the best (purest) regime to use, as there are no 'add ons' that you do not need and no not know about.
If you are uncomfortable with handling them then auto dosing is a viable option and there are units available for all pools and budgets.
The reason I don't not agree with anti-algae is that you should not need it if the above is correct, the practice of throwing it in anyway will no help your water quality at all. The are several sorts but the most common is copper sulphate based which is a extremely effective poison and works very well on algae but it can also make humans if it gets to concentrated which it will if you keep on adding and do nothing to get rid of it. Moreover if you get too much of any of the heavy metals in your water then you can have 'plating out' problems where spots of different colour start to appear on the liner. Sequesting metal out of water is a very expensive business.
If you have to use an anti-algae I would only consider using a enzyme base product.
Zeolite helps this process by extracting ammonium, phosphates and nitrates by ion attraction, none of which are wanted in pool water.
Hope that we have helped you.
