Congratulations!
Your spa came with the
most advanced, revolutionary sanitation system available today. When using the
unique SPA FROG Mineral
Cartridge with the exclusive
SPA FROG Bromine Cartridge, you’ll enjoy your spa more
with LESS WORK and LESS BROMINE.
Less Work Because:
• Minerals continuously work to control bacteria for four full months.
• Cartridges last longer to eliminate daily maintenance.
• Cartridges are pre-filled for no measuring or mess.
• Simply adjust to your setting and relax for weeks.
Less Bromine Because:
• With minerals in the water, bromine use is cut by up to 50%.*
• Bromine lasts longer: 2-4 weeks on a 350 gallon spa with
average use.
• With minerals and low levels of bromine, the water feels softer.
• The system reduces odors and leaves the water crystal clear.
• SPA FROG has the only minerals that work with bromine.
You’re going to love your SPA FROG System. If you have any
questions, contact our customer service rep

Let Us Dissect This Frog For You:
The SPA FROG In-Line System is made up of (A) a Frog cap that is easily distinguishable among the fittings on the top of the spa, (B) a cartridge holder that pulls out of the system, (C) a Mineral Cartridge that
controls bacteria in the water and (D) a Bromine Cartridge that helps
support the minerals while oxidizing contaminants like body oils. The
cartridges are adjustable to meet your specific spa water care needs.

START UP • Follow all directions from
your spa manufacturer on filling and
balancing the water in your spa.
Standard guidelines for balancing the
water are as follows:
*NOTE: Bromine levels are lower only when
used with FROG minerals.
• Use a metal out or sequestering agent if fill
water is high in metals. Wait 24 hours before
continuing start up.
• Shock spa to establish a 1.0-2.0 ppm chlorine or
bromine residual and remove all contaminants.
Add directly to spa following manufacturers’ directions. Do NOT add through the SPA FROG System.
• When spa reaches operating temperature per
your spa manufacturer’s directions, set the Mineral
and Bromine Cartridges according to directions
on page 6 and insert them into the System.
• Open cap of SPA FROG In-Line System and set
aside. DO NOT OPEN CAP WHILE JETS ARE ON.
• Remove holder by pushing down and turning
counterclockwise before pulling out.
• Remove spent cartridge by pushing bottom out
through openings in back of holder. Then grab
cartridge and pull out. Drain water from hole
openings to confirm it is empty. Then discard.
NOTE: Mineral Cartridge may contain spent media after
four months. Discard and replace.
WATER BALANCE GUIDELINES
pH: 7.2-7.8
Total Alkalinity: 80-180 ppm
Calcium Hardness: 150-400

*Free Bromine: 1.0-2.0 ppm
• Snap the Mineral Cartridge into the area
marked “Minerals” (top portion) and the
Bromine Cartridge into the area marked
“Bromine” (bottom portion) making sure to line
up the indentation at the top of the cartridges
with the raised area on the holder.
• Slowly insert holder into system. Line up holder arrow-with system arrow-. Push down
until holder tabs-❸go past system tabs-

and turn holder to the right (clockwise) until it
stops. To ensure a
locked position,
attempt to pull holder
up. If it stays in place,
the lock is secure.

Adjusting and Replacing Bromine Cartridge:
As every spa is
different, finding the right setting for the Bromine Cartridge will require
monitoring your usage for the first week or two. Begin with an initial
setting based on the chart below and monitor bromine levels daily or
before each use, adjusting the cartridge by one setting per day until a
1.0-2.0 ppm level has been achieved. To adjust cartridge, remove from
system and turn to the next highest setting if the bromine level is low,
or the next lower setting if the bromine level is high. The Bromine
Cartridge needs to be replaced when empty. On most spas, it will last
between 2 – 4 weeks. Always maintain at least 1.0 ppm bromine level.
Adjusting & Replacing Mineral Cartridge:
Set Mineral Cartridge wide open on #6 by holding
the bottom and turning the top until the #6
appears in the setting window.
The Mineral Cartridge must be replaced every
4 months. For ease in remembering, mark your
calendar with the Reminder Stickers included with this manual or
replace the SPA FROG Mineral Cartridge every time you drain and fill
your spa (every 90 to 120 days—see spa manufacturer’s draining
recommendations).
NOTE: The more you use the spa, for instance when you first get it, the greater
the setting to achieve at least 1.0 ppm. (This may require a higher setting than
what is listed in the chart.) If usage decreases or the bromine level is greater than
2.0 ppm, the setting should be lowered.
INITIAL START-UP SETTING
6
1. Run filtration system as directed by your spa
manufacturer to maintain proper water flow through
the SPA FROG In-Line System.
2. Regularly test water for pH, total alkalinity and
bromine levels. Maintain at least a 1.0 ppm bromine
level at all times.
3. Shock the spa with granular chlorine or a nonchlorine shock once a week or as needed.
Additional shocking may be required if the spa is
under heavy use. This is often the case when the
spa is new.
4. Remember to replace your SPA FROG Mineral
Cartridge every 4 months or when draining and
refilling spa. NOTE: Once wetted the time
released minerals in the mineral cartridge is
effective up to 4 months. After that time, even if you hear the spent
media inside, it is no longer effective and must be replaced. Replace
SPA FROG Bromine Cartridge when empty.
5. Lubricate o-ring twice a year with a
silicone lubricant.
Regular Spa Care Procedures:
Always follow the directions for operating your particular spa.
