frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions.

Typically, in a few hours — no more than 24. The empty pod will float to the top of the skimmer where it can be easily removed and discarded on you next service call.

When using FROG Algae Blocker 4Pro to remove algae from the water, use 1 pod for every 10,000 gallons of water and increase the free chlorine level to between 3ppm and 5ppm with a pH level between 7.2 and 7.8. After 24 hours, clean or backwash the filter to get rid of the dead algae.

When you use FROG Algae Blocker 4Pro as a preventative application, start with a clean filter and make sure sanitizer levels are in the correct range. Drop 1 pod for every 10,000 gallons of water in the skimmer every 6 months. Do not clean or backwash the filter for at least 2 weeks after using the pod.

Make sure the bucket is sealed and always store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area until ready to use. It’s important to keep the desiccants in the bucket, do not discard them.

FROG Algae Blocker 4Pro has 4X Stain Guard™ — 4 distinct stain inhibitors that keep copper from falling out of the solution and staining surfaces.

Yes! As long as you backwash the filter first, then put all 3 in the skimmer at the same time. Do not backwash or clean filters for 2 weeks after using any of the pool pod products.

Competitive products often feature the same formula, but less of the chemicals needed to maintain an algae-free pool for up to 6 months, and therefore require more applications. Competitive products also take up much more space as they remain in the pump or skimmer basket for 6 months while FROG Algae Blocker 4Pro dispenses within hours.
