Shock the hot tub with FROG
Maintain™, a non-chlorine shock for
single dose shocking when you
replace the FROG @ease SmartChlor
Cartridge or once a month.
5.
6.
Run filtration system as
recommended by your hot
tub manufacturer to maintain
proper water flow through the
system.
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.
• 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, 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 the 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.
FROG @ease SmartChlor Cartridge Life

load, you 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.

+ 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 must be used
in conjunction with the FROG @ease SmartChlor Cartridge.
* Compared to the minimum ANSI recommended chlorine level of 2.0 ppm for a hot tub.

directions in Step 1 for main-
taining pH, Total Alkalinity and
Hardness.

Using
the SmartChlor

area marked
“Minerals” can
cause over

3.
Replace FROG @ease Mineral Cartridge every four months or
when draining and refilling hot tub.
• Discard it in the trash even if it appears to have media left inside.
• Don’t attempt to reuse: the minerals are spent after four months.

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
number
of users. The 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.

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 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.
Drain and refill hot tub as
directed by your hot tub
manufacturer. Whenever you
drain and refill, make sure
to replace your FROG @ease
Minerals.
