Step 1: Prepare the Swim Spa
1.
®
If previously using bromine and switching to the FROG @ease System,
you must drain and refill your swim spa before using this product.
If previously using dichlor you may convert to the FROG @ease
System without having to drain the swim spa, as long as cyanuric
acid level is below 80 ppm.

3.
Balance water by following STEPS a - d in order.
IMPORTANT:
Always follow printed instructions on the bal-
ancing chemical packages. Add balancing chemicals in small
increments one at a time with the jets on and wait 2 hours
+
before testing again and adding any additional balancing
chemicals.
Water Balance Guidelines

Total Hardness:
Total Dissolved Solids: <1,500
Cyanuric Acid:
a.
Take a water sample from the swim
CAUTION
spa and dip a FROG @ease Test Strip
into it.
b.
Look at the Total Alkalinity reading first. Adjustments
should be made to bring the Total Alkalinity in the range of
80 – 120 ppm prior to making any adjustments to pH even if
it throws pH off further.
Have your dealer test your water before
filling the swim spa. If using source water
that is high in total hardness, iron or other
metals, your dealer may recommend the
use of a metal control product.
Clean or replace filter cartridges
when dirty (Follow manufacturer's
instructions).
7.2 – 7.6
80 - 120 ppm
150 - 250 ppm
0 - 50 ppm

c.
After Total Alkalinity is in range, test for pH. It should be
between 7.2 and 7.6. If higher or lower, add a pH adjuster.
d.
Test for Total Hardness again. If you were able to use fill water
low in hardness, you may now have to add Hardness Increaser to
maintain between 150 and 250 ppm.
If balancing takes longer than 2 days, shock the water and
maintain a chlorine level while continuing balancing.
Very Important!
4.
After balancing and before using cartridges,
if you haven't already added a shock during balancing, estab-
lish an initial residual of 0.5 - 1.0 ppm free chlorine with dichlor.
Heat water to the swim spa manufacturer's recommended
