    I will only comment about the FROG since one of the companys I install for used them for years. Make sure you have an anti siphon valve between the FROG and the filter. Make sure your return jets into the pool a little straighter than what might be normal. You do not want that high concentration of chlorine coming in contact with the pool liner until it has been diluted.

    The only other problem you will have is the chlorine will eat your plumbing three times as fast as without it. Just some things to keep an eye on.

    I think the real reason for selling the FROGs is it keeps you coming back to their store for replacement packs. Just my thought anyway.

    CarlD seems to really have it going on, an hour a week maintenance...WOW!
    I spend about the same amount of time on my pool. 10 minutes in the morning testing. 5 minutes in the evening treating. Saturday 15 minutes dropping in the vacume and 10 minutes to get it back out. The only time I have to really work is after a bad storm to get all the leaves out of the pool.

    Isn't the FROG a catalyst type system that feeds (dissolves) silver and copper into the pool, as the water flows through the feeder (like Nature 2)? These are typically LOW chlorine residual devices... or am I mistaken?
