SPA FROG WATER CARE SYSTEM

The SPA FROG WaterCare system is comprised of the following products:

•The SPA FROG mineral cartridge that introduces minerals into the spa water, inhibiting bacteria growth. When combined with MPS it oxidizes particulates in the spa water.

•The SPA FROG Bromine (BCDMH) is the only recommended sanitizer that will work in conjunction with the Spa Frog mineral cartridge in this system.

•Monopersulfate (MPS) is an oxidizing chemical used to prevent the buildup of contaminants, maximize sanitizer efficiency, and improve water clarity.

•FreshWater® III high output ozone system uses Corona Discharge technology to produce a high concentration of ozone, which is injected into the spa water.

NOTE: Refer to your SPA FROG Owner’s Manual for start-up and operations instructions. The owner’s manual is included with the SPA FROG starter kit.

It is important to follow the recommended application and maintenance programs outlined for each product’s use. If the spa is being used over an extended period of time, such as a whole afternoon or evening, additional sanitizer will be needed.

A weekly “shock treatment” is required. The shock treatment quickly destroys any remaining contaminants while revitalizing the bromine in the water.

To weekly “shock treat” your spa you may use MPS (sodium dichlor may also be used). Sodium dichlor may be a more appropriate weekly shock for those users that experience heavy bather load conditions.

IMPORTANT NOTE: MPS is an oxidizer, not a sanitizer.

SPA FROG CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS

The SPA FROG bromine cartridge should be replaced every 2-4 weeks, depending on User Load. The SPA FROG mineral cartridge should be replaced every 4 months. When replacing the mineral cartridge, it is highly recommended that the spa be drained and refilled at the same time. After refilling the spa with water, balance the Total Alkalinity (A), Calcium Hardness (CH) and pH to the recommended levels. Shock the spa by adding MPS.

To replace SPA FROG cartridges, follow these steps:

1.Turn off power to the spa.

2.Unscrew SPA FROG cap on top edge of spa.

3.Turn handle counter-clockwise.

4.Lift cartridge holder up and out of spa.

5.Turn top cap of mineral cartridge to setting #6 (The mineral cartridge should last 4 months.) Turn top cap of bromine cartridge to setting #7. NOTE: Adjust bromine cartridge setting down by one setting each day until a residual of 1.0 - 2.0 ppm level of bromine is established. (The bromine cartridge should last 2-4 weeks.)

6.Snap bromine cartridge in at bottom of holder and mineral cartridge on top.

NOTE: It is important that the bromine cartridge is on bottom; otherwise, the bromine cartridge could be dispensed prematurely.
