with LESS WORK and LESS BROMINE.

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.

• FROG Mineral System

The Complete In-Line System:

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 helps control
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.

• Use a metal out or sequestering agent if
fill water is high in metals. Wait 24 hours
before continuing start up.

• Very Important! Before using cartridges,
establish an initial residual of 1.0-2.0 ppm
bromine or chlorine. Do not use a non-chlorine shock.
Do NOT add through the SPA FROG In-Line System.
For best results use FROG Jump Start that quickly dis­solves with an effervescent fizzing action – one packet
per 500 gallons.

• Use FROG Brand Test Strips to accurately maintain the
reduced 1.0 to 2.0 ppm bromine level following the
label directions carefully.

• 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.

REPLACING CARTRIDGES

• 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 cartridges by pushing bottom out
through openings in back of holder. Then grab
cartridge and pull out.
