    New "maintenance free" Kayak pool with Pool Frog

    As a five year Kayak pool owner with the Frog system I hope I can offer you some advice. First, take the frog cartridges out and put them in the box they came in and put them in a dark place in your garage and forget about them. Second, stop talking to the Kayak folks unless you are looking...
