Hello. Just got a new above ground pool installed and have a pool frog mineral system instead of chlorine. Anyone has experience with a pool frog system?

I don't recommend it. Those minerals will stay in your water forever, they are not being consumed and will not evaporate. It sure is nice for the first couple of years because they are convenient, but you will eventually need to drain your pool. There have been reports where the minerals in that change peoples hair color.
Honestly, the best and easiest way to keep your pool clean is to pour bleach (same thing as chlorine dont overpay) in it everyday. It is cheap and easy.
Do not ever pour bleach in your pool.
The Frog is ok for a secondary sanitzer, you need to chlorinate your pool either by chlorine tablets in a floater or auto feed chlorinate or through a saltwater chlorine generator.

Bleach=chlorine...Just saying. Obviously you dont want to add too much, but bleach is nothing more than liquid chlorine. And the Frog system is a POS. It will elevate the copper levels way too much, and CAN cause green hair, and long term exposure to copper is not good for your health. Its actually outlawed in some countries.

Please don't give bad advise if you do not know about a topic, especially with pools. You can end up costing someone reading your post money.
Bleach = Chlorine, look at then ingredients.
Chlorine tablets are very bad as well, they introduce CYA to the pool and it also does not consume/evaporate and you will eventually need to drain your water. Too much CYA makes the chlorine useless, too little CYA makes the chlorine being consumed by the sun too quickly. You need balance in your pool.
Auto feed chlorinate is the same thing as pouring bleach in your pool but automated
converting to salt water is the best IMO, but costs $
I thought hotkarl was a pool guy? Any recommendation on variable pumps for an inground pool? From my research they all seem to be crap.
He is our pool guy!
I bought a pump in Harbor Freight, worked great for two years then it crapped out. I haven't opened my pool yet and with all this rain I have to get a pump now to get the pond off my cover.
^^ The absolute worst thing you can do...let the ducks stay in your pool.
Believe me I lived that nightmare 3 years ago thinking it was cool to have 2 ducks swimming around, feeding them bread etc. That was until I went to open the pool and there was about 100 pounds of duck sh*t on top of the cover!! Not a fun task when it was 85 degrees out. :0

It's not that often, but I clean more debris from my neighbors trees than anything else. Those long fuzzy things that are falling from the trees are all over the place now and is a pain to keep up with.
