FROG DropH: Step-by-Step User Guide

Step 1:

Test water weekly with FROG® @ease® Test Strips to monitor the pH.

Step 2:

Ensure the Total Alkalinity is in the ideal range, 80-120 ppm, before adjusting the pH level.

Step 3:

If pH is high, use the chart on FROG DropH to determine how much to add using the TruDose Cap.

Step 4:

With the jets on, pour FROG DropH into the swim spa when not occupied. Run the jets for 10-15 minutes and test the water again. Keep the swim spa cover off while the jets are running.

Step 5:

Repeat steps 1-4 until the water is in the ideal pH range of 7.2-7.6.

Water Balancing Tips

FROG® Water Care App testing — smartphone app for pool and spa water quality monitoring and maintenance guidance.

Water balance is key—test regularly to keep levels ideal: Total Alkalinity 80–120 ppm, pH 7.2–7.6, Total Hardness 150–250 ppm.

FROG® DropH® being poured into a TruDose™ cap over a hot tub — always adjust total alkalinity first using FROG® Target or DropH® before correcting pH.

Always adjust Total Alkalinity first—use FROG TArget to raise it or FROG DropH to lower it. Once it’s in the ideal range of 80–120 ppm, adjust pH.

Test and adjust pH with FROG DropH or JumpH as needed. Once pH is 7.2–7.6, adjust Total Hardness.

When Total Alkalinity, pH and Total Hardness are at ideal levels, add sanitizer. Use any FROG swim spa sanitizing system or your preferred option.

FAQ’s

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

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 swim spa surfaces and equipment can experience corrosion or scaling.

High pH can come from the water you use to fill the swim spa but often it comes from running the jets. Every time you use your swim spa, the jets are aerating the water, which drives the pH up. Sometimes it can be caused by using too much pH Up when trying to raise pH.

Over time, high pH levels can cause scaling on your filters, plugs, pipes, jets and other equipment. Water scale can reduce the water circulation, which increases water pressure and puts a strain on swim spa equipment. High pH will also make maintaining proper sanitizer levels very difficult as it decreases the effectiveness of chemicals like chlorine.
