Step 2: Set the Cartridges
2. Set the FROG @ease Mineral
Cartridge to #7 using the dial on
the bottom of the cartridge. No
further adjustments are necessary
for the life of the cartridge.
1. Remove the FROG @ease SmartChlor Cartridge from its
bag before proceeding.

3. Set the FROG @ease SmartChlor Cartridge to the setting
that matches your hot tub size in gallons. 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.
The combination provides the Fresh Mineral Water benefits of cleaner,
clearer and softer water that’s easier to take care of.
The FROG
@ease System
has two
replaceable
cartridges.
FROG®@ease®is a hot tub sanitizing system+custom
designed for Jacuzzi®Hot Tubs that takes the guess
work out of water care so you always feel at ease
while enjoying your hot tub.
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 Jacuzzi®Hot Tubs. 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.

Water Balance Guidelines
pH: 7.2 – 7.8
Total Alkalinity: 80 - 120 ppm
Hardness: 150 - 250 ppm
Total Dissolved Solids: <1500
Fill hot tub with fresh water. If using source water that is high
in calcium, iron or other metals, see your dealer before filling
the hot tub. It may require the use of a metal control product.
Clean or replace filter cartridges
when dirty (Follow manufacturer’s
instructions).
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.
Balance water by following STEPS a - d in order.
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.
Very Important! After balancing and
before using cartridges, establish an initial
residual of 0.5 - 1.0 ppm free chlorine with
FROG®Jump Start®start-up shock, includ-
ed in this package, that quickly dissolves
with an effervescent fizzing action – one
packet per 600 gallons.
Heat water to the manufacturer’s recommended
temperature.

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 a FROG @ease Test Strip into it.
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 Hardness. It should be between 150 and
250 ppm. If higher, partially drain the hot tub (about 6 inches)
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.
Open the arms of the holder until they
snap into position. The handle with the
Jacuzzi®logo is the top of the holder.

Step 3: Put the System to Work
If the FROG @ease Holder is
already installed, remove by pulling
up and away from filter cartridge
using the handle at the top of the
holder.

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 @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 lter cover.

Replace FROG @ease Mineral Cartridge every four
months. 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
number 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.
Replacing Cartridges
Step 4: Routine Hot Tub Care

Maintain Non-Chlorine Shock for
single dose shocking when you
replace the FROG @ease Smart-
Chlor Cartridge or once a month.
Replace your FROG @ease
SmartChlor Cartridge and com-
plete FROG @ease System that
comes with a FROG @ease Miner-
al Cartridge as directed under
“Step 3: Replacing Cartridges”.

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 “Replacing Cartridges”.
• 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.
FROG @ease SmartChlor Cartridge Life

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.
