Remember to replace POOL
FROG
®
Mineral Reservoir and all
other FROG
®
replacements as
directed.
Shock the pool every other week or
as needed. We recommend a non-
chlorine shock as reducing chlorine
use is the goal of FROG
®
products.
However, using a chlorine shock is
OK too.
Maintain 0.5 to 1.0 ppm free chlorine
level at all times.
Note:
These lower chlorine levels are
only acceptable when using FROG
®
minerals.
Regularly test water with FROG
®
Test Strips to maintain pH and Total
Alkalinity.
NOTE:
Water balance is affected
by bather load, chemical usage,
evaporation and the makeup of
source water, so maintaining water
balance regularly is important.
