Mineral Cartridge
Instructions
FROG ® @ease ® is a hot tub sanitizing system
for Bullfrog Spas ® that takes the guess work out of water care so
you always feel at ease while enjoying your hot tub.
FROG @ease Mineral Cartridge
DIRECTIONS FOR USE: For use in hot tubs
up to 600 gallons. Use with the FROG @ease SmartChlor Cartridge in the FROG
@ease Sanitizing System for Bullfrog Spas. Ensure all hot tub equipment is working
properly. Operate the pump and filter as recommended by your hot tub manufac-
turer. Clean filter following manufacturer's directions. May be used with a previously
filled hot tub unless it was sanitized with bromine or biguanides. Then drain and fill
the hot tub with fresh water before using this product. Start-up: Adjust pH to between
7.2-7.8 and Total Alkalinity between 80 and 120. Establish a free chlorine residual
of 0.5 to 1.0 ppm with FROG Jump Start start-up shock or an EPA approved hot
tub shock following the directions on that product. Setting the FROG @ease Mineral
Cartridge: Turn the dial on the bottom of the cartridge to setting number #4. Using
the System: Remove filter snap cap and weir door / filter plate. Remove cartridge
holder from hot tub by pulling up on the handle. Snap cartridge into one opening
of the holder. With the FROG @ease logo facing the holder, put the dial end of car-
tridge into the holder first by connecting the tab on the holder with the indent in the
cartridge. Then push the top part of the cartridge in until it snaps into place. For best
results insert the FROG @ease SmartChlor Cartridge into the other opening. When
cartridge is snapped in, replace holder between the filter cartridges under weir door/
filter plate pushing down until it stays in place. Then replace the filter snap cap.
For complete instructions read the entire manual.
Step 1: Prepare the Hot Tub
1.
Fill hot tub with fresh water. If using
source water that is high in iron or
Metal
other metals, see your dealer before
Out
filling the hot tub. It may require the
use of a metal control product.
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.
2.
Clean or replace filter cartridges
when dirty (Follow manufacturer's
instructions).
3.
Balance water by following STEPS a - d in order.
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.
Water Balance Guidelines
pH: 7.2 – 7.8
Total Alkalinity: 80 - 120 ppm
Calcium Hardness: 150 - 250 ppm
Total Dissolved Solids: <1500
a.
Take a water sample from the hot tub
and dip a FROG @ease Test Strip into it.
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.
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.
Very Important!
4.
before using cartridges, establish an initial
residual of 0.5 - 1.0 ppm free chlorine with
FROG ® Jump Start
ed in this package, that quickly dissolves
with an effervescent fizzing action – one
packet per 600 gallons.
5. Heat water to the manufacturer's recommended
temperature.

Step 2: Set the Cartridges
The combination provides the Fresh Mineral Water benefits of cleaner,
clearer and softer water that's easier to take care of.
1. Remove the FROG @ease SmartChlor Cartridge from its
bag before proceeding.

Cartridge to #4 using the dial on
+ custom designed
the bottom of the cartridge. No fur-
ther adjustments are necessary for
the life of the cartridge.
Step 3: Put The System To Work
1.
Remove filter snap cap.
3.
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.

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.
Troubleshooting
Cloudy Water or Low-Chlorine Levels
• 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 "Put the System to Work".
• If FROG @ease SmartChlor Cartridge is not empty, turn dial
setting up 1 number and monitor chlorine levels for a few days
After balancing and
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
® start-up shock, includ-
months. Without the minerals, SmartChlor will not be enough
to sanitize the hot tub.
FROG @ease SmartChlor Cartridge Life
• If hot tub is larger than 400 gallons with significant bather load, you
may require a higher dial setting which will shorten the cartridge life.
CAUTION
2. Hold weir door/filter plate out
into the hot tub slightly or remove
from hot tub. If cartridge holder is
already installed between the filter
cartridges, remove by pulling up on
the handle.

Drain and refill hot tub as direct-
ed by your hot tub manufacturer
or every four months when FROG
minerals need to be replaced.
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
Calcium Hardness.

3. Set the FROG @ease SmartChlor Cartridge to the setting that
matches your hot tub model number. If needed, you may increase or
decrease the dial setting.
Once set, the FROG @ease SmartChlor Cartridge will maintain a low
0.5 to1.0 ppm chlorine level as long as the pH stays within 7.2 and
7.8 so typically there is little need to adjust the cartridge setting.
5.
Follow the same procedure for the FROG @ease SmartChlor
Cartridge into the other opening.
6.
With the silver FROG @ease
SmartChlor Cartridge facing
the inside of the hot tub,
insert cartridge holder
between the lter cartridges
under the weir door/ lter
plate pushing down until it
stays in place.
7.
Replace lter snap cap.
Replacing Cartridges

4.
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.
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.

Cartridge
• If you think the cartridge setting is too high, 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.
High Chlorine Levels
• 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.
