Frog mineral systems

FROG Report...
As an FYI this is my first full year with the FROG system and I have to say I'm pretty pleased with it. While a couple of my neighbors (without the frog) have each had a couple of rounds of algae and cloudy water and they've spent money and time clearing things up, mine with the FROG has remained crystal clear all summer. I've only had to keep the chlorinator full and I've added a little supplemental liquid cl (about 3 gallons between May 1 and July 5).

I only hope I can find the mineral pack for less than $100 next year. I also plan on using my own 1" cl tabs by refilling the empty packs that frog sells for $20 each.

The main problem with the Frog system which I have is the it continually adds CYA (Stabalizer) to the pool. All the info on this site says the higher the CYA the higher levels of chlorine is needed to keep the water clean. I opened my pool this year with a CYA of a 100 and had to do a partial drain to lower it. Since I am still using the Frog system I am once again battling High CYA. Before coming to this site I did not know about high CYA levels, but I also never had any problems in 5 years (algae, pool turning cloudy).

Below listed is a website were I buy my mineral pack way under $100:

SUNNYDAYS,
Thanks for the link on Americas Best Pool Supply regarding the FROG mineral cartridge. I just ordered my cartridge for the 2008 season on Sunday and it arrived on Tuesday. It was $76, which saved me about $45 instead of buying at my local pool store.

The Wx here in upstate NY has been great for 2 weeks, so we opened on April 19th!
