∙ 17y agoThe salt level in a salt based CHLORINATED swimming pool is about a tenth of the ocean average, so in terms of salinity I do not think the little guys will survive. On the other hand, I did enhanced the CHLORINATED word because the way the salt system works is by "breaking" the salt molecule (Cl + Na) and using the Cl to kill the bacteria - it then recombines back, and the system establish a "loop" of breaking out the Cl of the salt, again to the sanitizing. This means that IF, by any chance, the little Nemo survives (for few hours or days) the low salinity, the Cl will do the rest of the job... soon!
My suggestion: get a nice, salt water aquarium, near the pool... Or add few "plastic" Nemos in!

∙ 17y agoYes they can also live in the Ocean, But they cannot stay in a properly balanced pool for long They seem to survive in salt water pools for their normal "season" refardless of water balance or condition. They do not appear to be harmful and can only be made to disappear with a chemical product that is hazadous to humans.

∙ 18y agoI don't believe so, and I think they actually help by eating things like mosquitoes. They can be a nusence when they are searching for food they will bite or sting.

Water boatmen eat algae and aquatic plants.

They may survive in an empty pool, but are not able to live under water.
Yes there are water bugs living in the US. Water bugs are actually a type of insect and they are found in many different regions in the US. Here is a list of the different types of water bugs that can be found in the US:\tGiant water bugs\tBack swimming water bugs\tWater scorpions\tWater boatmen\tWater stridersThese water bugs all live in different habitats in the US and can be found in rivers lakes ponds and even some wetlands. They all play an important role in the local ecosystems and are an important part of the food web.
Water Boatman are bugs that live in fresh or brackish water. There are about 525 species found worldwide. They have long oval shaped bodies, grayish in color with a broad head and big eyes. They have short front legs, long middle legs and oar-like hair covered hind legs. Regular size of boatmen bugs is 3 to 12 mm.
Yes. The word "bug" in science refers to insects in the suborder heteroptera. These are insects with sucking mouthparts that include assassin bugs, bedbugs, stink bugs, water boatmen, and pond skaters.
Water
Creeping water bugs often hibernate during the winter months to survive. They find shelter in protected areas under rocks and logs or in the mud at the bottom of bodies of water where they can remain dormant until warmer temperatures return. Some species may also adapt to cold temperatures by producing antifreeze compounds in their bodies to prevent freezing.
Water boatmen are sometimes confused with backswimmers, which are generally larger bugs that swim upside down and deliver a painful bite. from the web
I have them in my pool. I have trouble finding information about them on the internet, but I believe they are called water boatmen. I believe they are harmless.
They can both fly and swim. thy fly into your pool from outside.
In the UK water boatmen are bugs and have piercing mouth parts through which they can inject digestion enzymes in their prey. While I think it is rare for them to to "bite" it is not unheard of and can be quite painful.
