Swim Spa Startup Made Easy

1. Fill the swim spa and check hardness
After draining and cleaning, fill the swim spa with fresh water and check your Hardness level first. If higher than 250 ppm, ask your dealer for a stain and scale preventor and follow the directions on the product.

2. Balance the water
Always start by balancing your water. FROG Balancing Basics® Kit includes everything you need to balance your water.

3. Shock the water
Add FROG Maintain® to establish clean, sanitized water.

4. Add Sanitizer
FROG sanitizing systems kill bacteria with FROG Sanitizing Minerals® and a reduced amount of chlorine. For example, FROG® @ease® reduces chlorine use up to 75% while creating luxurious, crystal-clear Fresh Mineral Water®∞.
