FROG @Ease Floating System for Hot Tubs with 3 Replacement @Ease SmartChlor Cartridges - Self-Regulating Sanitizer - Hot Tub Maintenance System with Sanitizing Minerals & SmartChlor Technology

I have a new softub Portico.At first I used the powdered chemicals that came with the starter kit. It was a royal pain. I would check daily, make adjustments, etc. It was very difficult to get the water clear. So I bought a bunch of additional products (filter cleaner, water cleaners, non-chlorine shocks, etc) and it did not restore the water to clear. And I had to really focus daily on tweaking the chlorine and pH levels. It was a pain.I don't work for Frog @ Ease, but I will tell you that once we switched to that product, most everything was solved. I test the pH once or twice a week and make adjustments. Our water became clear after 1 day of use. I spend 90% less time chasing my chemical levels. I'm not even sure if I need to non-chlorine shock anymore though I probably will. I clean my filter probably every 2 weeks.The other thing about Frog @ Ease is that the water is much less chlorinated. My skin is not dry and itchy. The water seems softer and silkier. I sound like a commercial. But I have to say, the product has exceeded my expectations. I wish it were cheaper. But I save so much time, I don't care. And the experience in the tub is better. We are going to drop off the used pods at a local Frog dealer and apparently they are made into plastic furniture.

Makes it easy to keep my spa regulated and clear. I like being able to check the levels without having to treat all the time. The "hidden" smartchlor cartridges that came with the unit seen to run out faster too. Great system.

Love the frog system. The thing with the FROG, is it is a system all on its own, which I did not know at first. You don't need any other chlorine or shocks. The FROG support number is great too!! Basically, I change the silver half of the ball once a month for my 600-gallon hot tub and change the blue side of the ball every four months. The directions say to dial the silver half to a 4 based on my gallons but once my hot tub was balanced, I have it on a 2 and it keeps the CL levels perfect. I shock the tub with the frog CL shock when I change the blue half of the ball. About every two weeks, I throw in the sanitizer. Only other chemical I need is PH up. Frog system makes keeping the hot tub balanced an easy task!

Hot tub maintenance is NOT cheap. I used the @ease system that came with our tub. It worked fine, with water sanitation and chem balance. When I needed to reorder, I attempted to save a few dollars, and ordered (what looked like) a similar product replacement. BIG MISTAKE. the imposter ruined my Chem levels and caused a very acidic feel and nasty smell. Really bad move on my part. I had to drain the tub, clean it thoroughly and refill it. I then ordered the real @ease replacements, and have had no issues since then. Bottom line ... Be Very Careful ordering knock off replacements, I'm not saying that all are as bad as my experience was, but just make sure you are getting a good quality product to replace the @ease by Frog.

Was it good? Sure. I don’t wanna say it doesn’t work by any means. My issue was with the product is at the end of its life span what do you do!? I could be overlooking, but it seems to me that you have to buy the whole system again after it’s done. It wasn’t cheap. It does work though. I just would like to use the same pod thing again and just get new minerals and such. It seems impossible to find this on Amazon. Maybe it’s just Amazon? I gave 4 stars. I’ll gladly update this th8/ to 5 if I can get some information oh how to replace just what came with the system minus the pod.

This is a must have for a spa. Works well and easy to use.

Works great for our hottub. Makes things East. You just have to remember to change it out when it runs out

Fast delivery and it works wonderfully.
