• Desinfectantes:
mantener el nivel residuos recomendado de un
desinfectante registrado con la EPA en todo momento disminuirá
la aparición de bacterias y virus en el agua del spa. El cloro libre
disponible (FAC) recomendado, que es la cantidad de desinfectante de
cloro disponible, está entre
3,0 - 5,0 ppm o entre 0,5 - 1,0 ppm con el
sistema de cloro @ease SmartChlor
. Un FAC bajo puede hacer que
bacterias y virus crezcan rápidamente en el agua tibia, y un FAC alto
puede causar incomodidad en los ojos, los pulmones y la piel de los
usuarios. Cada desinfectante tiene sus propias instrucciones en cuanto
a la frecuencia y momento de añadirlo al agua del spa. Consulte a
su distribuidor para que le informe y muestre cómo desinfectar su spa
adecuadamente.

de color recomendado que trabaja junto con
el cartucho mineral de FROG para mantener el agua más blanda y
cristalina, con hasta un 75 % menos de cloro que los sistemas con
dicloro habituales.
Para realizar el “tratamiento de choque” semanal de su spa, le
recomendamos que utilice el oxidante sin cloro monpoersulfato (MPS)
FRESHWATER (
MPS) o el dicloro sódico (cloro). El dicloro sódico puede
ser más adecuado para aquellos usuarios que utilizan el spa con mucha
frecuencia.
Los productos opcionales siguientes pueden utilizarse junto con el
sistema de mantenimiento del agua
FROG
:
EL MONOPERULFATO (MPS), OXIDIZANTE SIN CLORO
FRESHWATER
es un producto químico utilizado para evitar la
acumulación de contaminantes, aumentar al máximo la eficacia de
los productos desinfectantes, reducir la mezcla de cloro y mejorar la
transparencia del agua. Si se utiliza con el sistema
FROG
el sistema
oxida partículas en el agua del spa.
NOTA IMPORTANTE:
el Monopersulfato (MSP)
FRESHWATER
es un
oxidizante, no un desinfectante.
El sistema de ozono de alto rendimiento

NOTA: consulte las instrucciones de puesta en marcha de manual
de usuario del FROG @ease SmartChlor (el mismo que para el
bromo de FROG, solo Canadá). Encontrará el manual de usuario en
el juego inicial del FROG.
Es importante cumplir con los programas recomendados de
mantenimiento y aplicación diseñados para cada producto. Si el spa se
utiliza durante un periodo de tiempo prolongado, por ejemplo, toda una
tarde o noche, se tendrá que emplear una cantidad mayor de producto
desinfectante.
Si emplea @ease SmartChlor, tendrá que utilizar las
tiras de pruebas @ease.
NOTA: el cartucho mineral FROG @ease o el de cloro @ease no
pueden utilizarse en Canadá.
SOLUCIÓN DE PROBLEMAS:
• Compruebe el equilibrio del agua, el pH y la alcalinidad total
requeridos para que estén al nivel adecuado para que el sistema
en línea @ease funcione correctamente.
• Si el cartucho SmartChlor no está vacío, gire el botón ajustándolo
al número 1 y vigile los niveles de cloro durante algunos días
mientras esté equilibrando el agua. Vuelva a girar el botón en caso
necesario.
• Compruebe el cartucho SmartChlor y cámbielo si está vacío.
INSTRUCCIONES PARA CAMBIAR EL
CARTUCHO
FROG
Cartucho @ease
FROG
debe cambiarse cada 3 - 4 semanas,
dependiendo del uso (realice el tratamiento de choque del spa después
de cambiar los cartuchos). El cartucho mineral @ease
FROG
debe
cambiar seca 4 meses o cuando se vacíe y llene el spa. Después de
rellenar el spa, equilibre los niveles de Alcalinidad total, (TA), Dureza
del agua (CH) y pH hasta los registros recomendados. Realice un
tratamiento de choque mensual del spa añadiendo
oxidante sin cloro
(MPS)
FRESHWATER
o dicloro sódico (cloro).
Para cambiar los cartuchos de FROG
siga estos pasos:
1. Apague el spa.
2. Desatornille la tapa del
FROG
en el borde superior del spa
3. Pulse hacia abajo el asa y gire en sentido antihorario.
4. Suba el soporte del cartucho y sáquelo del spa.
5. Quite y elimine los cartuchos viejos.
6. Gire hacia arriba la tapa del nuevo cartucho mineral

FOR SPAS AND HOT TUBS
®
Step 1: Prepare the Hot Tub
• This is highly unlikely with
@ease 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 @ease Test
Strips that were included with your
System.

Remove holder by pushing down
and turning counter clockwise
before pulling out.
Replace blue Mineral Cartridge every four months.
• Discard it in the trash even if it appears to have media left inside.
• Don’t attempt to reuse: the minerals are spent after 4 months.
Replace silver SmartChlor Cartridge when empty.
• Life of cartridge varies depending on hot tub size and number
of users. The 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 recycle.
Set the blue Mineral Cartridge
to #6
(hold the bottom and turn the top until
6 appears in the window). No further
adjustments are necessary for the life of
the cartridge.
The In-Line System is made up of:
(A) a cap
that is easily distinguish-
able among the fittings on the top
of the hot tub
(B) a cartridge holder
that pulls
out of the system
(C) an @ease mineral cartridge
that helps control bacteria in the
water and
(D) an @ease SmartChlor Cartridge
that helps support the minerals
while oxidizing contaminants like
body oils and ammonia compounds
responsible for smelly chloramines.
The cartridges are adjustable to
meet your specific hot tub water
care needs.

Water Balance Guidelines
pH:
7.2 – 7.8
Total Alkalinity:
80 - 120 ppm
Calcium Hardness:
150 - 250 ppm
Total Dissolved Solids: <1500
IMPORTANT:
Always follow printed instructions on the balancing
chemical packages. Add balancing chemicals in small increments 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 an @ease
®
Test Strip into
it.
Balance water by following STEPS
a — d
in order.
c.
After Total Alkalinity is in range,
test for pH
. It should be
between 7.2 and 7.8.
If higher or lower, add a pH adjuster.
d.
Lastly
test for Calcium Hardness.
It should be
between
150 and 250 ppm
. If higher, partially drain the hot tub (about 6 inch-
es) 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.
Fill hot tub with fresh water.
Metal
Out
If using source water that is high in
iron or other metals, see your dealer
before filling the hot tub. It may
require the use of a metal control
product.

NOTE:
Why @ease Test Strips? The SmartChlor 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.
SmartChlor will maintain a 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
®
Minerals.

• Check water balance. pH and Total Alkalinity need to be in the
proper ranges for the @ease In-Line System to work correctly.
•If the 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 SmartChlor Cartridge and replace if empty—see
instructions under “Replacing Cartridges”.
• Check your calendar. The entire @ease In-Line System, including
the mineral cartridge, needs to be replaced every four months.
Without the minerals, SmartChlor will not be enough to sanitize
the hot tub.
SmartChlor Cartridge Life
• If hot tub is larger than 400 gallons or has significant bather
load, the cartridge life will be shorter.
• 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.
