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.

This FROG @ease System was made specially for Bullfrog Spas Models made prior to 2024. These unique triangle shaped cartridges fit into a holder that then fits between the two round filter cartridges.

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

Hot tubs 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.

Ron M

I don’t understand why people say they can’t order it online. I just ordered my spring and summer set up from Bullfrog today with a set of back up filters just incase. Happy Bullfrog owner of an A7 with two loungers. So my wife and I don’t fight over one lol. Easiest set up and operation of any space have had. Almost brainless care. We are very happy with Bullfrog and their products. 5 stars.

Fred

Hey, I found these online at cleartub.com. They even offer a subscription!

Travis Rutta

I've been using the new and improved FROG @ease in my new Bullfrog Spas A8L since we bought it last year and it's so, so, so much better than the old version, which we used on our old Bullfrog Spa. I like that it sits outside the filter canister but behind the JetPak, so it's hidden, but I can reach it pretty easily. And, best of all, it now actually lasts beyond what I was expecting, like 5 or 6 weeks. The water stays perfectly clear, and I like that it's mineral water and low chlorine, so you don't get any smells or skin irritation, which my son was getting when we used regular chlorine. We still have to put a little dash of shock in there when the kids have a bunch of friends over, but for the most part, we don't have to do anything else. Great product!

Matt Collins

Where can I find these online? Why doesn't Amazon have them?

FROG Products

Hi Matt! You can find FROG @ease for Bullfrog Spas on https://shop.bullfrogspas.com

Chris

why can't I order replacement chlorine and mineral cartriges online and ideally cheaper. have you read the comments on your website? I'd love to be able to reuse the chlorine one at least… that's a lot of waste to change ever 3 to 4 weeks. Please let me know on alternative. I don't plan on buying any more bullfrog products and I will loudly spread the word unless you change something or assist. Sorry for the threat, but this is so disappointing.

I'm not going to a dealer to buy your over-priced cartridges. Make these available on Amazon or another retailer, you crooks.

Duane Hauser

I purchased a Bullfrog just in the last couple of years. Now the cartridges are getting impossible to find. Does Bullfrog not support their own products?

Smartchlor Cartridges or the Mineral triangle style.
