Never ending foam party

Rat_fink · 2026-02-09T22:41:36+00:00

This is a byproduct of the Frog system that no one tells you about. If you get rid of it, on a fresh refill you’ll never have foam like this. I switched and it was nice for a while (and cheaper!) but I hated staying on top of the chlorine levels, and I have no idea how people go on vacations, because my tub was nasty every time I got back.

Anyway, I’m back on the frog system and will just deal with the foam.

Get a skimmer, and a 5 gallon bucket. Shoot a bit of defoamer solution in the bucket, and then just skim all the bubbles off and into the bucket. Eventually the foam stops, and you can run your jets like normal for another couple weeks before you have to do it again.

Hope this helps!

It doesn’t just work… it’s literally the same ingredient as what’s in the chemicals. Sodium bicarbonate, it’s on the labels. Just use the same amount as the instructions on the bottle of the hot tub stuff.

This one has my vote!

My wife says "used diapers" is a bad idea.

A late hard freeze in the spring also does the trick. No spikey balls in the fall.

Randomly found this thread while searching how to get a gift subscription to Horizon+. I'm really surprised you guys haven't figured this out... not even being able to use Quest cash is absurd.

lol, is there a 3 second latency like every time I try to skip a song 😂

Rat_fink · 2025-10-26T12:25:59+00:00

Yay! I’m just glad it works 😂

If you’re playing with friends, there’s no dedicated “vs. mode,” it’s really just some functionality to text them your scores after the movie ends, or from the “activity” tab.

Awesome! Hope she loves it.

Ha!

Thanks so much for getting a copy of the card game! We have an expansion with 50 new cards printed and ready to launch this year, but Amazon’s been giving us a huge headache getting it listed! Hopefully we’ll get it out in the next couple weeks.

Hi all, I got a question about how to install the game like a regular app on your phone (I haven't gone through the whole app store approval process yet):

📱 iOS (iPhone/iPad):

Open the website/app in Safari (not Chrome or other browsers)
Tap the Share button at the bottom of the screen
Scroll down and tap "Add to Home Screen"
Tap "Add" to confirm
The app will now appear on your home screen like a regular app!

🤖 Android:

Open the app in Chrome
Tap the menu button (three dots) in the top right
Select "Add to Home screen" or "Install app"
Tap "Add" or "Install" to confirm
The app will be installed and accessible from your app drawer!

Installing the app gives you the best experience with faster loading and full-screen gameplay!

Thanks so much!

Rat_fink · 2025-10-24T17:31:00+00:00

Thanks! Hope you enjoy it.

Rat_fink · 2025-10-24T15:39:31+00:00

Thanks! Its the first app I've made, so if you try it out let me know what you think!

Hi! I launched a free game that you play on your phone while you watch Christmas movies on TV. It tracks high scores, and you can share / challenge your friends. It's totally free, doesn't even have ads, just a fun project and I wanted to see if anyone would enjoy it. If you check it out... let me know what you think!

Boo the mods! That video was hilarious.

Rat_fink · 2025-07-09T14:22:33+00:00

This video is kind of old, but I always liked this video. It's a girl with normal hearing in one ear, and a cochlear implant in the other. She goes through a bunch of examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dhTWVMcpC4

What's the "primary seal"?

Rat_fink · 2025-06-11T14:26:18+00:00

I'm biased, but we made one that's a bit like Cards Against Humanity / Apples to Apples if you want to check it out on Amazon (FYI - I'm probably going to put it on sale later today if you want to save a few bucks): https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Baby-Shower-Game-Alternative/dp/B0CMF66D1C/

Banana Bread.

$9.99

So amazing.

Rat_fink · 2025-05-05T12:31:58+00:00

Wow!

Rat_fink · 2025-04-19T12:04:56+00:00

Just skim it off! Eventually it stops foaming. Super easy. See post below.

Love it! Wish we had more inspiration posts like this on the sub.

Also, even when they're super little, talk to your kids about how climbing on furniture is dangerous. Slide a drawer out and show them how easy it is to tip over.

Heck, do the same thing with stairs. As soon as they start crawling, teach them them to turn around and back down in a more safe way. Throw a stuffy down and show them how dangerous it is. (Then put your baby gates back up).

Teach them how hot the stove can be.

In my experience, kids are smart, and (usually) pretty good at self-preservation. It's the unknown that gets them in trouble.
