Bought a home with a FROG pool - need help š
- Thread starter podcastpool
- Start date
The ladder has caps that appear to be glued onto the end preventing you from cleaning inside. Should I be trying to get these off?

No, you are good, they are sealed. Scrub the outside with bleach:water solution. Algae likes to hid under stairs. Quick scrub and you are good.
I cleaned the ladder well with bleach/water and kept the pool at SLAM levels today. I also ordered some more r-0871ā¦
Iām hesitant to keep adding 5ppm until it arrives. We have a pool party planned for my toddlers birthday on the 10th, and Iād like to get FC down to 8ppm and all other levels dialed in before then. Iām worried that if I keep adding 5ppm daily until the agent arrives on the 1st that I wonāt have enough time to dial everything else in.
Water looked great today- If you think thereās a 90% chance or greater that it will be OK, Iād like to stop slamming today and use the test block until the agent arrives in the mail. If I see the test block start to get lighter, Iāll add 1-2ppm, until I can get the agent in and test properly to get it down to 8. @PoolStored

The pool is safe to swim in, if you can see the bottom and FC > minimum, and FC <= SLAM.
Do as I said, it is safe. go swim

Switch to 5ml of pool water, each drop is 1FC.
AND lengthen the time between tests....even if it is once a day.
that will extend your reagent.

Quick update: I got more 0871 in today. I was able to test at least once a day since I posted last. FC was never lower than 20 anytime I tested. Water is beautiful but Iām pretty certain there is a leak somewhere. Iām going to start letting the FC come down to 8 and work on diagnosing my leak in the meantime. I marked the level and have lost about .5ā overnight but so far doesnāt seem to be leaking more. We will see what it looks like tomorrow. My thoughts currently are that there is some sort of loss around that level in the pool. This isnāt necessarily a new issue.
