Step 4: Routine Hot Tub Care
Shock the hot tub with a
non-chlorine shock when you
replace the FROG @ease Smart-
Chlor Cartridge or once a month.
Replace your FROG @ease
SmartChlor Cartridge and
complete FROG @ease System
that comes with a FROG @ease
Mineral Cartridge as directed
under “Step 3: Put the System to
Work”.
1.
Drain and refill hot tub as direct-
ed by your hot tub manufacturer
or every four months when FROG
minerals need to be replaced.
2.
3.
5.
4.
6.
Run filtration system as
recommended by your hot
tub manufacturer to maintain
proper water flow through the
system.
Regularly test water with FROG
@ease Test Strips and follow
directions in Step 1 for main-
taining pH, Total Alkalinity and
Calcium Hardness.
NOTE: pH is affected by bather load, chemicals used,
evaporation and the make-up of your source water so
maintaining water balance regularly is important.
NOTE: Why FROG @ease Test Strips? The FROG @ease Smart-
Chlor Cartridge forms a chlorine reserve that will be inaccurately
measured as total chlorine on other test strips. Unlike conventional
chlorine, the SmartChlor reserve readily shifts to free chlorine as
needed, maintaining spa health with a low level of chlorine.
FROG @ease SmartChlor Cartridge will maintain 0.5-1.0
ppm free chlorine level as long as the water is balanced.
NOTE: Free Chlorine levels are reduced up to 75%*
when using FROG @ease Minerals.
• This is highly unlikely with the FROG @ease System
because SmartChlor is self-regulating. However, if you
use standard test strips, it may appear that total
chlorine is higher than the free chlorine.
• No worries—the strip is measuring the SmartChlor
reserve, which will shift to free chlorine as needed.
Please always use the FROG @ease Test Strips
that were included with your System.

Cloudy Water or Low-Chlorine Levels
• Check water balance. pH and Total Alkalinity need to be in
the proper ranges for the FROG @ease System to work correctly.
• Check FROG @ease SmartChlor Cartridge and replace if
empty—see instructions under “Put the System to Work”.
• If FROG @ease SmartChlor Cartridge is not empty, turn dial
setting up 1 number and monitor chlorine levels for a few days
while maintaining water balance. If needed turn dial up again.
• Check your calendar. The entire FROG @ease System including a
FROG @ease Mineral Cartridge needs to be replaced every four
months. Without the minerals, SmartChlor will not be enough
to sanitize the hot tub.
FROG @ease SmartChlor Cartridge Life
• If hot tub is larger than 400 gallons with significant bather load, you
may require a higher dial setting which will shorten the cartridge life.

Cartridge
+ FROG @ease System consists of the FROG minerals silver chloride and carbonate used with 0.5 ppm
of FROG @ease SmartChlor Cartridge.
The FROG @ease Mineral Cartridge (EPA Reg. No. 53735-11)
must be used in conjunction with the FROG @ease SmartChlor Cartridge (EPA Reg. No. 53735-14).
* Compared to the minimum ANSI recommended chlorine level of 2.0 ppm for a hot tub.
• If you think the cartridge setting is too high, you can turn the
dial setting down 1 number and monitor chlorine levels for a
few days while maintaining water balance. If needed, turn dial
down again.
