What is SPA FROG?

The Spa Frog System comprises pre-filled mineral and bromine cartridges.  Use of the mineral cartridge enables spas sanitised with Spa Frog to use 50% - 80% less bromine than standard bromine treated spas.

The cartridges can either be placed in a re-usable floating holder, or placed into a specially constructed chamber built into the side of many spas.

How is Spa Frog Used?

The Spa Frog cartridges are easily adjusted to meet the sanitizing needs of virtually any size spa. Adjustment is performed by turning a dial on the side of each cartridge.

In order to use Spa Frog effectively you should maintain the pH of your spa water between 7.2 - 7.8 and the total alkalinity between 60 - 120 ppm.

You should test the Bromine level weekly and adjust the bromine cartridge to maintain a residual level of 1 - 2 ppm at all times.

When using Spa Frog you should still apply a fortnightly application of a shock, such as SpaGuard SpaLite, to remove any non-filterable wastes and ensure that your water remains crystal clear.

Is Spa Frog Compatible with other Products?

Spa Frog is compatible with most other hot tub water care products on the market, including water balance chemicals, anti-foam and shocks.

How Often should the Cartridges be Replaced?

You should replace the Spa Frog mineral cartridge approximately every 3-4 months when you drain and refill your spa. You can tell when the mineral cartridge is empty by shaking it. The bromine cartridge will last 2-4 weeks, depending on the size of your spa and how frequently you use it.

Is there anything else that I have to do?

Yes. Filtration....

Filtration is another vital part of keeping your spa water crystal clear.  In common with any sanitizer system, you should make certain that your filtering cycle is adequate for your spa volume and usage, clean your filter regularly using a proprietary filter cleaner and replace it every 6 - 12 months.

Filters last longer if they are allowed to dry out properly between uses so it's a good idea to keep a spare and rotate them.
