Simply dip the test strip into the water and compare colors on the back of the bottle to check the balance of your pH, Total Alkalinity, Total Hardness and the ideal Chlorine or Bromine level when using FROG Sanitizing Minerals.

If you are using a FROG System, regular test strips may give confusing results. This is because all FROG sanitizing solutions work with reduced levels of chlorine or bromine so only FROG Test Strips will show that lower ideal range.

FROG Test Strips are meant to be used with all Pool FROG Systems, FROG Leap Systems, FROG Pool Tender Systems, Flippin’ FROG Systems, Instant FROG and FROG EverClean for pools. They are also compatible with FROG Serene and FROG Filter Mate for hot tubs.

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 or bromine. The result is water that’s gentler on skin and free from the harsh feel and strong odors of traditional hot tub care.

Best pool product I have ever used.

Josef Thompson

These are fantastic! These strips are so easy to understand where the levels should be. Checking the quality of your water is so easy and literally takes less than 5 minutes! These strips take the guess work out of making sure your quality of water is the best possible. This is a no brainer. If you don't have them, get them, and you will not be disappointed!

How do I change water hardness? I thought buying new minerals would help this.

FROG Products

Hi KT, the minerals assist the chlorine in fighting bacteria, but do not affect the water hardness. You can adjust your water hardness during the water balancing process.

As you may know, the best way to balance your water is to focus on Total Alkalinity, then pH, and lastly your Total Hardness. For your pool, Total Hardness should be between 200 – 400 ppm.

To increase Total Hardness, you will want to add a calcium hardness increaser such as calcium chloride. There unfortunately is no way to lower your calcium hardness other than to partially or fully drain your pool.

Once your water is balanced, the minerals are free to help fight bacteria and ensure that the rest of your water care experience is smooth sailing. If you’d like additional help, please reach out to us at 800-222-0169 or email customer.service@kingtechnology.com. We’re happy to help!

I love the strips, but I do have a question. I often have where the pH shows Purple. Problem is the ranges are supposed to be from Orange to Red. All my other chemicals check out. Question is. Does Purple mean very low or very high pH???

Lateisha

Are the strips comparable with the app? I’ve not found anything that lines up exactly with the app

Rich Gittins

I love how easy the test strips are to use.
I have one question though. For 4 months, my Bromine level was good. Now all of a sudden, the color on the strip is white. There's not really a white on the color spectrum. There is a yellowish tint and then it gradually gets more purple. Where my reader is white, does that mean too little Bromine or too much?

FROG Products

Hi Rich,
Thanks for the review! We are glad you are finding our test strips easy to use.

That is a great question about your test strip reading very light. If your test strip is white, then there is not enough bromine in your hot tub. Please add shock to get the bromine levels up. Additionally, check your cartridge to see if it is empty and if so, then replace it. If there is still bromine in the cartridge, then turn it up to the next level in addition to shocking.

Test strips are susceptible to bleaching after shocking, so wait 24 hours after shocking your hot tub before testing. We also recommend checking the expiration date on the test strips to ensure most accurate results. You can also test with a second source such as your local dealer after shocking and turning up your cartridge.

Please let us know if you have any other questions. We can be reached at 1-800-222-0169 or customerservice@kingtechnology.com.

Thank you.

I really like the clarity of the test strip. Easy for me to read

Jerry & Peggy R

I have used various pool test kits for many years, but the Pool Frog Test Strips are by far the easiest to use. My wife would not even attempt to use the 6-Way test kits, so she loves the simplicity of the strips. And the Pool Frog makes it so east to keep our pool crystal clear.
