Benefits

Granular hot tub or swim spa chemical
FROG TruDose Cap^™ with built-in measurements
Compatible with all FROG sanitizing systems

Directions for Use

Test the water weekly with a test kit or test strips to check if the pH is below the ideal 7.2–7.6 range.
As long as Total Alkalinity is within 80–120 ppm, you can adjust the pH level.
Measure the dose by checking the dosage chart on the FROG JumpH bottle and using the FROG TruDose Cap^™ to determine the right amount based on your hot tub or swim spa size.
Add to water with the jets turned on while the hot tub or swim spa is completely empty of people.
Circulate by running the jets for 30 minutes with the cover off.
Retest the water after 2 hours and repeat the process if the pH is still under 7.2.

Whenever your pH is lower than 7.2. The ideal pH range for hot tubs and swim spas is 7.2 to 7.6. See the handy dosage chart on the bottle for your hot tub or swim spa’s gallon size.

JumpH is a fun way of saying this product will jump up or raise your pH whenever it is below the ideal range.

This pH Increaser comes in a bottle with the FROG TruDose Cap and an easy to read dosage chart which makes it much easier to measure the right amount of chemical for each individual hot tub or swim spa.

Yes – this is compatible with all other sanitizing products like chlorine, bromine, ozone, UV and salt generators.

pH is the measure of how acidic or basic (alkaline) your hot tub or swim spa water is. Low pH levels are acidic. High levels are alkaline. When balancing hot tub or swim spa water, pH is always tested and adjusted after Total Alkalinity is balanced to 80-120 ppm. Then, always maintain a pH of 7.2-7.6.

pH affects the ability for sanitizers to kill bacteria efficiently. At a neutral pH of 7.2-7.6. sanitizers work at their best. Lower or higher than that, sanitizers lose their effectiveness, which can cause cloudy or green water. Unbalanced pH will also create a harsh feeling to the water and hot tub or swim spa surfaces and equipment can experience corrosion or scaling.

Often, the water you use to fill your hot tub or swim spa can have a naturally low pH plus, contaminants like body oils, sweat and lotions can decrease pH. The type of chlorine typically used in hot tubs and swim spas has a low pH, so every time you add it to the water, you lower the pH. Sometimes it can also be caused by using too much pH down when trying to lower pH.

A low pH level means your hot tub or swim spa water is acidic, which can not only cause corrosion of surfaces and equipment, but it also makes your sanitizer far less effective which can lead to cloudy or green water. It also makes the water less comfortable as it can strip the skin of natural oils, leaving it dry and itchy.
