Instructions
FROG ® @ease ® is a hot tub sanitizing system
for Bullfrog Spas ® that takes the guess work out of water care so
you always feel at ease while enjoying your hot tub.
FROG @ease Mineral Cartridge
up to 600 gallons. Use with the FROG @ease SmartChlor Cartridge in the FROG
@ease Sanitizing System for Bullfrog Spas. Ensure all hot tub equipment is working
properly. Operate the pump and filter as recommended by your hot tub manufac-
turer. Clean filter following manufacturer's directions. May be used with a previously
filled hot tub unless it was sanitized with bromine or biguanides. Then drain and fill
the hot tub with fresh water before using this product. Start-up: Adjust pH to between
7.2-7.8 and Total Alkalinity between 80 and 120. Establish a free chlorine residual
of 0.5 to 1.0 ppm with FROG Jump Start start-up shock or an EPA approved hot
tub shock following the directions on that product. Setting the FROG @ease Mineral
Cartridge: Turn the dial on the bottom of the cartridge to setting number #4. Using
the System: Remove filter snap cap and weir door / filter plate. Remove cartridge
holder from hot tub by pulling up on the handle. Snap cartridge into one opening
of the holder. With the FROG @ease logo facing the holder, put the dial end of car-
tridge into the holder first by connecting the tab on the holder with the indent in the
cartridge. Then push the top part of the cartridge in until it snaps into place. For best
results insert the FROG @ease SmartChlor Cartridge into the other opening. When
cartridge is snapped in, replace holder between the filter cartridges under weir door/
filter plate pushing down until it stays in place. Then replace the filter snap cap.
