Last straw...a Frog lives in there!

She's not talking about me! I would have rescued it, before it perished.

Or at least, before it was too far gone for some nice fried frog legs.

It's hard to catch frogs in a pool!

BTW, buddy, you can have my share of the frog legs!

[aylad]

Ummm, I don't mind the frogs either--I have a couple of big bullfrogs that swim in my pool nightly--they're just smart enough to get out and go home around dawn

Oh--and don't knock frog legs til you've tried 'em....

That frog was the size of a big toe, not much legs.

[PoolDoc]

Oh, I forgot. I was thinking of frogs the size of a big foot . . .

Proud to say there are NO more frogs!!! Can't say thank you enough, my pool is beautiful! Looks great and feels great! So excited to have a swimmable pool! The first time in YEARS that the pool has been clear in the hot summer! Thank you all!!

[Watermom]

Yay! Now, since there are no more frogs, you can invite me over for a swim!

Glad the pool looks great and that we were able to help you. Now, time to enjoy it!

The first time in YEARS that the pool has been clear in the hot summer! Thank you all!!

I'm glad it's worked out well for you. Please do remember that something I wrote years ago is still true: it's much easier to take care of pool water, than it is to clean it up!

The amount of WORK your pool needs now is a small fraction of what it needed in past weeks, but your pool needs just as much CONSISTENCY as it ever did. Check your pool EVERY day with an OTO/phenol red kit (2 minutes!) and keep your chlorine in range (per Best Guess) and your pH between 7 & 8 all the time; every day . . . EVEN when it's raining.

If you do that this summer, you'll probably get to the point, experience-wise, where you may NOT need to test every day. But, this summer stick with it!
