lol I don't blame her! My 5 year old daughter loves slugs, worms, spiders, etc... But flies & those swimming bugs freak her out!! She won't get in the pool if she sees'em! & at one point towards the end of the summer, I swear something in the water was biting us! :/ I was just hoping there was a way to detour them from the pool.

You can cautiously use the linear quat algaecides we usually dis-recommend. The same characteristics that cause the water to be foamy, also make it harder for those bubble breathing bugs to function. Sams' Club has a 2 gallon pack of that stuff for pretty cheap. If you get some, add the recommended dose, and see what happens. Just be careful -- that stuff uses up chlorine and makes the water more irritating. If you get a K2006, and post readings, I can help you 'tune up' to run the quats intermittently without having too much conflict with chlorine.

Ok thanks I will definitely be looking into that. We still have a few weeks before we can actually swim. I think next week we are planning on filling the pool back up. The pump is connected but not running yet... hence needing water. lol
