  • Set the blue mineral cartridge to wide open on #6 by holding the bottom and turning the top until the number 6 appears in the setting window. No further adjustments are necessary.
  • With a freshly filled spa, initially set the yellow bromine cartridge on #5 for the first 24 hours ONLY. Then the first week or so, before each use, test the water and adjust cartridge by 1 setting per day until the bromine stabilizes to at least 1.0 ppm.

Using the Floating System

  • Insert both cartridges into the green floating holder by pushing them into the openings until they stay in place.
  • Let the SPA FROG Floating System free-float in the spa.
  • When using the spa, simply remove the SPA FROG System, drain most of the water into the spa and set on the side of the spa inverted so all excess water drains into the holder.
  • REMEMBER TO REPLACE IT IN THE WATER WHEN FINISHED USING SPA!

Replacing Cartridges

Spa Frog Floating Mineral system Replacing Cartridges
  • The SPA FROG Mineral Cartridge must be replaced every 4 months. After four months of use, or when draining and refilling the spa with fresh water, discard SPA FROG Mineral Cartridge in trash even if, upon shaking, it appears there is media left inside. Once wetted the time released minerals in the cartridge are effective up to four months. Do not attempt to reuse the product once removed from the spa. For ease in remembering to replace, mark your calendar with the reminder stickers provided with the product.
  • Replace the SPA FROG Bromine Cartridge when empty. Drain water to ensure cartridge is empty then discard in trash. The cartridge life will vary depending on spa size and number of users. Once your usage is determined, mark the calendar with enclosed reminder stickers.
