Why Switch Your Hot Tub from Traditional Chlorine to FROG® @ease ®

Three friends talk in a hot tub while a FROG @ease Floating System floats in the foreground, shown in a half-underwater view.

Maintaining clean, comfortable, crystal-clear hot tub water shouldn’t feel like a chemistry class. Yet for many spa owners using traditional chlorine, can be frustrating – constant testing, guessing how much sanitizer to add, fluctuating chlorine levels, skin and nose irritation, cloudy water… the list goes on and on…

That’s why so many hot tub owners are switching to FROG @ease, a smarter, easier, self-regulating System that uses SmartChlor® Technology and FROG Sanitizing Minerals® to deliver clean water with far less work and far fewer harsh chemicals.

Here’s why hot tub owners everywhere are switching to FROG @ease from traditional chlorine:

  • Consistently Clean Water – Automatically: SmartChlor maintains the ideal chlorine level on its own – no daily testing or dosing – keeping water consistently clean
  • Softer Water That Feels Better on Skin: FROG Sanitizing Minerals condition the water for softness so it’s gentler on skin and there’s less odors
  • Shock Only Once a Month, Not After Every Soak: One monthly non-chlorine shock dose is all that’s needed — SmartChlor self-regulates the rest for hassle-free maintenance
  • Fewer Harsh Chemicals & No Cyanuric Acid Build-Up: Avoid CYA build-up from traditional chlorine, so water stays clearer longer and drains less frequently
  • Easy, Color-Changing Test Strips: Simple test strips show when SmartChlor levels are correct and when cartridges need replacement — no confusing color matching
  • Perfect for New, Busy & First-Time Hot Tub Owners: Hands-off, low-maintenance, consistent water care ideal for beginners or anyone who wants a simpler spa experience

Let’s explore the difference!

Consistently Clean Water – Automatically

Traditional chlorine drops in effectiveness every time people hop in the hot tub. After each soak, you must dose more chlorine to catch up. FROG @ease changes that entirely.

Softer Water That Feels Better on Skin

Because FROG @ease uses FROG Sanitizing Minerals + SmartChlor, the water feels noticeably softer than traditional chlorine-treated spas. You’ll experience:

  • Less chemical smell
  • No irritation and ruined swimsuits
  • More comfortable, softer water

It’s a difference you can instantly feel.

Shock Only Once a Month, Not After Every Soak

Traditional chlorine systems require shocking after nearly every use.
But with FROG @ease?

✔ Only one FROG Maintain®, non-chlorine shock dose per month
✔ SmartChlor self-regulates the rest

That means more time enjoying your spa – not managing it.

FROG Maintain® (the monthly shock packet) can be used in any hot tub, regardless of the brand. It’s a single-dose non-chlorine shock that works well with FROG @ease Systems or with traditional chlorine systems.

Fewer Harsh Chemicals & No Cyanuric Acid Build-up

Regular chlorine adds CYA (cyanuric acid) to your water, which builds up fast in hot tubs and forces premature draining. FROG @ease contains no CYA, helping your water last longer and stay clearer with fewer drains per year.

For simplicity + water quality, FROG @ease is the leading low-chlorine option.

Easy, Color-Changing Test Strips

FROG @ease Test Strips turn dark magenta when SmartChlor is at the correct level — no confusing color matching required. They also tell you exactly when the SmartChlor Cartridge needs replacing. Say hello to easy water testing!

FROG @ease works with most hot tubs, including brands with built-in cartridge holders for the FROG In-Line System. If your spa doesn’t have an in-line housing, the floating system works in any hot tub up to 600 gallons.

For FROG @ease users, replacing SmartChlor + Minerals on schedule is key.

If you want water care that’s…

  • Easy
  • Hands-off
  • Low-maintenance
  • Consistent
  • Beginner-friendly

…FROG @ease is the ideal upgrade from traditional chlorine.
