Step 3: Put the System to Work
Remove filter snap cap.
1.
2.
Set the FROG @ease Mineral Cartridge to the highest
setting using the dial on the bottom of the cartridge. No
further adjustments are necessary for the life of the cartridge.
Hold weir door/filter plate out into the hot
tub slightly or remove from hot tub. If car-
tridge holder is already installed between
the filter cartridges, remove by pulling up
on the handle.
2.
d. Lastly test for Hardness. It should be between 150 and 250
ppm. If higher, partially drain the hot tub (about 6 inches) and fill
with water low in calcium. If lower, add Calcium Increaser.
If balancing takes longer than 2 days shock the water and
maintain a chlorine level while continuing balancing.
c. After Total Alkalinity is in range, test for pH. It should be
between 7.2 and 7.6. If higher or lower, add a pH adjuster.
3.
Water Balance Guidelines
pH: 7.2 – 7.6
Total Alkalinity: 80 - 120 ppm
Hardness: 150 - 250 ppm
Total Dissolved Solids: <1500
Cyanuric Acid: 0 - 50 ppm
2.
Clean or replace filter cartridges when dirty (Follow
manufacturer’s instructions).
IMPORTANT: Always follow printed instructions on the balancing
chemical packages. Add balancing chemicals in small incre-
ments one at a time with the jets on and wait 6 hours before
testing again and adding any additional balancing chemicals.
b. Look at the Total Alkalinity reading first. Adjustments
should be made to bring the Total Alkalinity in the range of
80 – 120 ppm prior to making any adjustments to pH even if
it throws pH off further.
a. Take a water sample from the hot
tub and dip a FROG @ease Test Strip
into it.
Balance water by following STEPS a - d in order.
If previously using bromine and switching to FROG @ease System,
you must drain and refill your hot tub before using this product.
If previously using dichlor you may convert to FROG @ease System
without having to drain the hot tub, as long as cyanuric acid level is
below 80 ppm.
Snap the FROG @ease Mineral Cartridge into one opening of
the cartridge holder. With the @ease logo facing the holder, put
the dial end of the cartridge into the holder first by connecting
the tab on the holder with the indent in the cartridge.

If needed, you may increase or decrease the dial setting. Once set,
the FROG @ease SmartChlor Cartridge will maintain a low 0.5 to
1.0 ppm chlorine level as long as the pH stays within 7.2 and 7.6
so typically there is little need to adjust the cartridge setting.
