    suggestions to save the frogs?

    Same. We use frog log and it works great. At night when i have things shut down, I place it directly in front of the skimmer so they can’t get in the basket. Also works for snakes, crickets and salamanders!

    Mesh vs Solid for snowy winters

    I like my tarp cover - but have never used mesh. I like the tarp since I can scoop leaves and gunk off it, making my life easier in the spring. None of that residual waste ends up in the pool. I bought a fairly cheap submersible pump from Home Depot and whenever I can, I pump water off...

    Adding salt

    Hi all Mid season, lots of rain, salt concentration has dropped to 2700 ppm. Going to add another bag of salt to bump it up. Do I need to turn the hayward SWG off for 24 hrs after I add the salt? Cheers Tom

    Why Do I Find Sand in My Pool?

    I find sand daily in the pool...does it come in from the returns? It is not copious amounts, but enough to make me notice it. Is there a way to determine whether it is coming from the sand filter, or simply kids and wind bringing it in?

    Ants!

    We mixed equal parts baking soda and powdered sugar right next to where the ants were accumulating. The baking soda screws up their internal pH, and the sugar attracts them to the baking soda. Problem solved

    Is 2 hours a day too little?

    Thanks all. I plan on bumping the chlorine with a full jug before we leave. I have just installed a pump timer, and turned swg on to 100%. Plan is to run pump for a two hour stint in the am, followed by a 90 min stint in the pm. My wife thinks I am going overboard (70$ on the timer), and...
