Inserting the FROG @ease
Mineral Cartridge into the holder:
Place the bottom of the rounded
edge of the cartridge into the front
of the lower opening of the holder
and push the cartridge back until
it locks into place.
Follow the same procedure with the FROG @ease
SmartChlor Cartridge in the upper opening.
Note:
To
remove cartridges tilt away from the holder by pulling at
the center top of the cartridge rather than the sides.
Unscrew both hot tub filter car-
tridges to find the one that does
not have a grid underneath it.
Once determined, screw both
filter cartridges back in place.

In order to re-install the filter cover,
you must first rotate the holder by
pulling the top part out about ½”
away from the filter cartridge and
turning the holder until it touches
the other filter cartridge.
Installing the FROG @ease Holder:
With the FROG @ease cartridges
facing the inside of the hot tub and
the handle of the holder at the top,
slide the holder down over the filter
cartridge that does NOT have the
grid underneath it until it covers the
entire length of the filter cartridge.
If necessary, spread the arms on
the holder to get them around the
filter cartridge.
Re-install the filter cover.

Replace FROG @ease Mineral Cartridge every four months,
or when draining and refilling hot tub.
•Discard it in the trash even though you will hear the spent media left
inside. •Don’t attempt to reuse: the minerals are spent after 4 months.
Replace FROG @ease SmartChlor Cartridge when empty
based
on the FROG @ease Test Strip showing a lighter color than the
out indicator on the bottle.
•The life of the cartridge varies depending on hot tub size and num-
ber of users. •FROG @ease SmartChlor Cartridge will last about 3-4
weeks for an average 400 gallon hot tub. •Drain water from cartridge
to ensure it is empty. •Discard in trash or offer for recycling if available.
Step 4: Routine Hot Tub Care
Replace your FROG @ease
SmartChlor Cartridge and
complete FROG @ease System
that comes with a FROG @ease

Work.

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
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.
Troubleshooting
Cloudy Water or Low-Chlorine Levels
• Shock the hot tub with FROG Maintain or a non-chlorine shock.
• 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 Step 3: Put the System to Work.
• If FROG @ease SmartChlor Cartridge is not empty, turn dial
setting up one number 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.

may require a higher dial setting which will shorten the cartridge life.
• If you think the cartridge setting is too high, you can turn the
dial setting down one number while maintaining water bal-
ance. If needed, turn dial down again.
