Renovated the plaster (resurfaced) pool, and it happened two days in a row (we had rain storms both days). As long as they croaked happily at night and I was sure that I would see eggs next morning. I kept the pump on 24 7 this week, and has skimmer basket sock. I found full layer of eggs on the basket sock this morning. Tested water this morning, FC 3.5 and CC<=0.5, Ph 7.8.

Is there anyway to deter them from laying eggs in? I don't mind if they want to hop in for a swim at night, as long as the chemicals in water can clean whatever they left behind.

Thanks in advance.
 
Do they get our OK? Seems every other morning I find one sitting on the backside of my frog log. They know to get in it but haven’t figured how to climb out.
What do frog eggs look like?
Yesterday morning, there were four in one skimmer basket, one in the other, live but seems not be able to hop out. I used a stick for them to grab on and released them further away from the pool.

Frog eggs when not sucked by skimmer, looks like patches of little black dots. Size of patches varies. They were bound together by a transparent gooey stuff, when you use skimmer net, you will feel the slimy when touching the net.
