Products That Help You Keep Your Swim Spa Pristine

We hope your swim spa is your favorite place to relax or get in a great workout. FROG® @ease® is designed to simplify water care while using minerals and up to 75% less chlorine* to create Fresh Mineral Water®∞. The goal is simple: your swim spa — and the products you use to care for it — should reduce stress and increase joy.

In addition to replacing your SmartChlor® and Mineral Cartridges as recommended, here are a few swim spa chemicals and maintenance products designed to simplify your water care routine and enhance your experience.

FROG® @ease® Test Strips

FROG @ease Test Strips are designed specifically for the FROG @ease System. Unlike traditional test strips, they measure only what you need to know and adjust. They do not test for free chlorine because FROG @ease continuously maintains free chlorine levels between 0.5 and 1.0 ppm.

The strips also include an easy-to-read “Go/No-Go” indicator that lets you know when it’s time to replace your SmartChlor® Cartridge. Test your swim spa water at least once a week to make sure everything is balanced and working properly.

FROG® Balancing Basics™ Kit

Great swim spa water starts with proper water balance. The FROG Balancing Basics Kit includes everything you need to balance your water: products to increase pH, decrease pH and alkalinity, increase Total Alkalinity, increase Total Hardness and shock the water with a non-chlorine oxidizing shock.

Each product features the FROG® TruDose Cap™ with built-in measurements to make dosing simple. The kit is compatible with all FROG sanitizing systems and includes FROG VIP™ membership for 1:1 access to water care experts.

FROG® Kick-It® Start-Up Shock

When filling your swim spa with fresh water, use FROG Kick-It after balancing the water. This chlorine start-up shock comes in a convenient single-dose pouch, eliminating the need for measuring or handling extra chemicals.

Simply open the pouch and pour it into the water. Its effervescent action starts working immediately, so you don’t have to worry about undissolved granules or using the wrong amount.

FROG® Maintain® for Swim Spas Non-Chlorine Shock

For ongoing maintenance, use FROG Maintain for Swim Spas, a non-chlorine shock that helps break down organic contaminants that can contribute to odors and cloudy water. Like FROG Kick-It, it comes in a convenient single-dose pouch. Simply pour it into the water, and your swim spa will be ready to enjoy in about 15 minutes.

While many swim spa owners are told to shock their water weekly or after heavy use, FROG @ease works differently. SmartChlor® Technology self-regulates, releasing chlorine as the water needs it. With FROG @ease, use FROG Maintain once a month.

FROG® Hot Tub Pipe & Jet Cleanser for Swim Spas

Even when your swim spa water looks clean, oils, lotions and other build-up can collect inside the plumbing where you can’t see it. That’s why periodic purging is an important part of swim spa maintenance.

FROG Hot Tub Pipe & Jet Cleanser removes hidden build-up and purges oils, lotions and other gunk from your swim spa’s plumbing. Use it before a drain and refill or when shutting down for the season for a cleaner, fresher swim spa. This powerful gel formula is safe and effective for swim spas and comes in a multi-dose tube or convenient single-use packet.

FROG® Maintenance Products

Don’t forget about the rest of your swim spa! FROG Surface & Cover Cleaner, Defoamer, Metal Remover and Scrub Pad can help make everyday maintenance easier and keep the outside of your swim spa looking as good as the water inside.

And that’s really all you need. With a few high-quality products and a simple water care routine, keeping your swim spa balanced, clean and ready to enjoy is easier than ever.

If you have questions, the FROG Water Care® App is a great resource for additional water care help. You can also contact your dealer or call FROG Customer Service at 800-222-0169. We’re always happy to help.
