FROG @ease is an easy, low-maintenance hot tub sanitizing system that helps maintain clean, clear hot tub water with less effort. By combining FROG Sanitizing Minerals with SmartChlor Technology, it creates Fresh Mineral Water∞ that’s Cleaner, Clearer, Softer and Easier^® to care for. Unlike standard dichlor hot tub sanitizers, which spike and drop, SmartChlor maintains a consistent low chlorine level of 0.5–1.0 ppm. This self-regulating sanitizer automatically releases chlorine only when needed, making it one of the easiest ways to sanitize a hot tub without constant monitoring. Ideal for anyone looking for a simple hot tub water care solution, FROG @ease reduces chlorine use while helping maintain balanced water and simplifying ongoing hot tub maintenance.

This FROG @ease System was made specially for Bullfrog Spas Models using their Simplicity Filtration System where the FROG @ease cartridges behind the filter cartridge. Use this system for hot tubs 400 gallons or less for the best results in SmartChlor Cartridg life.

No. Use FROG @ease Test Strips only. Standard strips will show misleading readings with SmartChlor Technology.

Hot tubs with 150 to 600 gallons are perfect for FROG @ease.

With standard chemicals, you experience peaks and valleys in your sanitizing routine. When you add chemical, the level spikes. When you use the tub, the level drops. This yo-yo method goes away with FROG @ease because it maintains the same level of sanitizing from day 1 until the day the SmartChlor Cartridge is empty.

SmartChlor is a unique, patented type of chlorine. It will consistently maintain a 0.5 to 1.0 ppm free chlorine level as long as the pH is balanced. This would not be enough on its own; but with FROG Sanitizing Minerals, it’s a perfect combination that kills bacteria with minerals and a low level of chlorine that create Cleaner, Clearer, Softer^® water.

The blue Mineral Cartridge lasts up to four months. The silver SmartChlor Cartridge typically lasts 3 – 4 weeks. When the SmartChlor Cartridge is depleted, the FROG @ease Test Strip will be a lighter purple color than the test strip bottle label. That is your cue that it’s time for replacement.

SmartChlor is slightly more expensive than dichlor but less than other systems. SmartChlor offers a nearly hands-off experience that automatically maintains consistent sanitizer levels, saving you time and guesswork while delivering clearer, more comfortable water with minimal effort. And with up to 75% less chlorine*, your suits won’t fade and your hot tub has less wear and tear.

Keeping your hot tub balanced will extend the life of your SmartChlor Cartridge. Keep pH under 7.6. Over circulation could also deplete the cartridge faster.

FROG Fresh Mineral Water∞ is our signature water quality experience — clean, clear and silky-soft water made possible by our patented mineral technology combined with significantly lower levels of chlorine. The result is water that’s gentler on skin and free from the harsh, over-chlorinated feel of traditional pool and hot tub care.
