Hi all ~
Our Hayward pump motor froze up at the end of the 2011 season. Lesson learned for not resolving that issue right away. I have been waiting for it's repair since taking it in on April 4th!
In the meantime, I've been adding chlorine every few days to kill the green. The pool looks MUCH better than on 2011 opening.
However, I've discovered this morning, there are creatures enjoying it that I've not seen it past years.
I THINK they are dragonfly nymphs but not sure. Can anyone help verify what they are? The frogs don't survive the chlorine additions, but these are. So maybe higher dose? Or something else until my pump is ready and I can vacuum and filter?
Thanks for any input!
