Just a bunch of sales pitches (lies) about how great low chlorine is. I don't recall getting an education in metals when I was sold on the device. "Minerals" covers a lot so knowing minerals and how they work is essential. Hi there, we see that you are sincerely interested in helping people understand water care, and on that note, we hope you're interested in us busting some myths. A salt water pool is a chlorine pool, it requires other chemicals to maintain balanced water. If you reduce chlorine use, you also reduce the amount of Cyanuric Acid needed in your pool, and in your pool.Ī note on salt water systems - the salt cells generate chlorine. This is also in a delivery system that is a slow release.Īlmost all chlorine contains Cyanuric Acid, which protects the sun's UV rays from burning off all the chlorine in a pool immediately. Pool FROG and FROG Leap do contain trichlor.

Plus they soften the water and help maintain pH levels.
And minerals give another layer of protection against bacteria. The use of silver plus a low amount of chlorine kills bacteria 2 ways and allow you to reduce chlorine use up to 2 times - that means less Cyanuric Acid is going into your pool. In FROG products, the silver is dissolved slowly and at a sustained level, which means saturation is never met and staining does not occur. Whatever is used to sanitize your pool, the dissolution rate and delivery system are key. There's an article in Aqua Magazine, September 2021 that will tell you more in-depth about the science and delivery systems.įROG products contain a patented technology of silver and calcium carbonate.
There is no set it & forget it solution & the ones that promise that are setting people up for failure.Ĭlick to expand.Hi there, we see that you are sincerely interested in helping people understand water care, and on that note, we hope you're interested in us busting some myths.

* there are some automated systems that are beneficial such as a salt water chlorine generator or a stenner pump - they all still require regular testing & adjustments. * yes! That’s the tfp method- test (w/ a tf100 or Taylor k2006c) & add what your pool needs- nothing more, nothing less If you have a time with fc below min for your cya, elevated cc’s, visible algae, cloudy water or fail an Overnight Chlorine Loss Test you would do the SLAM Process with liquid chlorine.ĭaily fc testing & liquid chlorine dosing should prevent the need for this. Weekly “shocks” aren’t needed if you maintain fc according to the fc/cya chart. * the product you linked is cal hypo - it increases your calcium hardness along with fc. PoolMath makes calculating additions easy. Bleach/liquid chlorine doesn’t have this effect.ĭitch the frog & stick to the FC/CYA Chart & Recommended Levels. Trichlor is also acidic & can tank your ph & ta. Its best to add liquid chlorine & stabilizer separately. For every 5ppm fc it adds you increase cya by about 2.5. That particular system has a trichlor cartridge as well which adds cya to your water as well as fc. Also some frog minerals/products can actually add metals to your water which you really don’t want. * The frog is no good - it’s premise is that it’s “minerals” reduce the need for proper amounts of fc which is a recipe for disaster. Thanks in advance, looking forward to learning from you all sometimes i think, these automated systems that has come out are a waste of money because there's so many variables in treating water, literally.
or do i stick to old school test the water and add what's needed lol.i'm trying to learn, do i use this weekly or bi-weekly or based on what the readings are:.it's failed to keep the levels up, maybe it's good for a weekly maintenance while i treat the water manually. anyone heard of this thing: Frog Flippin' Frog XL Complete Pool Care System - it maxes at 10,000 gallons, i think it's a waste of money in south Florida heat and rain.
sitting and dissolving solids = more damage, so not sure what the heck these sellers are saying from the pool shops lol thoughts?
