I love using frogease for our Jacuzzi J-475. Maintaining ph and TA is key. We use the spa frequently so we go through smartchlor faster. We use the 6 setting vs 5 bc of our frequent hot tub use. We shock once a week with either maintain or other non chlorine shock. If I need supplemental chlorine bc of a large gathering I use a TBS or more of Jump Start. After a year and a half and some mistakes, the key is to test ph often and sanitizer levels with the strip and we shock once a week. I like having a lower chlorine level due to frogease and the Jacuzzi uv and ozone system.
FROG® @ease® Sanitizing System for Jacuzzi® Hot Tubs
Hot tub sanitizer with minerals and up to 75% less chlorine*
This hot tub sanitizing system combines proprietary FROG Sanitizing Minerals® with patented SmartChlor® Technology to create Fresh Mineral Water®∞ that’s cleaner, clearer and softer. Unlike traditional chlorine that yo-yos after every use, SmartChlor is a self-regulating sanitizer — automatically adjusting output to maintain a consistently low chlorine level for weeks at a time.

Benefits
- Custom-designed to fit on the filter cartridges in select Jacuzzi Hot Tubs
- Enjoy softer water, reduced chlorine odors and water that's gentler on your skin
- Mineral Cartridge lasts 4 months; SmartChlor Cartridge lasts 3-4 weeks
- Set the FROG @ease Mineral Cartridge to #7 using the dial on the bottom of the cartridge. No further adjustments are needed for the life of the cartridge.
- Set the FROG @ease SmartChlor Cartridge to the setting that matches your hot tub size:
– 200–350 gallons → Setting 4
– 350–450 gallons → Setting 5
– 450–600 gallons → Setting 6
You can raise or lower the dial later if needed. Once set, it will maintain 0.5–1.0 ppm chlorine as long as pH stays between 7.2 and 7.6, so adjustments are rarely needed. - Remove the filter cover.
- If a FROG @ease Holder is already installed, remove it by pulling up and away from the filter cartridge using the top handle.
- Open the arms of the holder until they snap into position (the handle with the Jacuzzi® logo marks the top).
- 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 cartridges to find the one that does not have a grid underneath it. Once determined, screw both filter cartridges back in place.
- Installing the FROG @ease Holder: With the FROG @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. 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.
- Re-install the filter cover.
Ongoing: Replace the Mineral Cartridge every 4 months (or whenever you drain/refill). Replace the SmartChlor Cartridge when a test strip shows lighter than the “out” indicator on the bottle (roughly 3–4 weeks for an average 400-gallon tub).
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
It’s conveniently designed to fit on the filter cartridge in most Jacuzzi Hot Tubs.
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 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 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.
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 hot tub care.
