It gets cloudy every time he has people in it, and in addition to the $400 in chemicals (bac pacs, metal magic, etc) he bought at the beginning of the season he has since been to the pool store more times than I can count and bought several other bottles of clarifier and who knows what else. He's had problems with his pool all year long. My neighbor has an identical pool with the same Frog XL system on it that I had. I drained water and got my CYA down, then I removed the frog from my plumbing, and installed a T that my stenner pump could connect to instead. Even after having drained to winterize and then filling the pool back up with rainwater and tap, my CYA was 160ppm. When I oped it up in Spring, I found this site and went with the TFP method. We closed on our house in September, and I ran the frog in it till we closed the pool that winter. I too had one on my pool that we acquired with our house. I can say with 99.9% confidence that no, you will not find a single person on this forum that likes the Frog based systems. Read around the forum and you will see hundreds of pool owners who have had to drain the vast majority of their water to get these things under control. The only way to remove them is through a water exchange. Once these things are in the water they stay there.
Now, as the "minerals" build up they will eventually reach a level that can cause staining of the floor/walls of your pool and in some cases stain blonde hair green. As the stabilizer builds up you need ever higher levels of chlorine to have the same sanitizing effects. It is the long term cumulative effects of adding these things to your water that cause problems. What are the "minerals"? Most commonly copper and maybe silver. The solid chlorine adds stabilizer and the mineral pack adds "minerals". Both of these are slowly adding things to your water we don't want. The system you have uses a solid form of chlorine and a "mineral pac". You have a new pool and it will be clear using this system for a long time.
