The pool company hands over the pool with a Pool Frog Leap system with a chlorine pack (chlorine tablets) and an anti-bac mineral pack running (Silver Chloride). I've read that I should switch over to a salt water chlorine generator and ditch the Frog, but we have what we have for the moment.

I got these results yesterday, and the pool looks clean and clear for now:
