Installing FILTER FROG®

  1. Set reminder dial on FILTER FROG® to 4 months from month of installation. Turn dial by hand or with a coin if needed.
  2. Place FILTER FROG® in one of the following locations in spa:
    1. Majority of Spas - Insert FILTER FROG® inside filter cartridge core (Diagram A).
      Do not allow FILTER FROG® to sit too low in the filter. If blocking water flow, install in filter well (Diagram B).
      If FILTER FROG® is inside a standpipe, attach a string to the FROG® head handle for easy removal.
    2. High Flow Spas - On skimmer filters with 2.5 HP or larger pump motors, place FILTER FROG® in filter well outside the filter cartridge (Diagram B).
    3. Small Cartridge or Other Spas - Place FILTER FROG® in skimmer tray (Diagram C).

Regular Spa Care

  • Ensure all spa equipment is working properly.
  • Run filtration system a minimum of three hours per day.
  • Regularly test water for pH, total alkalinity and bromine or chlorine levels.
  • Maintain at least a 1.0 ppm bromine or chlorine level at all times.
  • Shock the spa 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.
  • The FILTER FROG® must be replaced every 4 months. After four months of use or when draining and refilling the spa with fresh water, discard the FILTER FROG® in trash even if, upon shaking, it appears there is spent media left inside. Once wetted the time released minerals are effective up to four months. Non-refillable product. Do not reuse or refill this container. Do not attempt to reuse the product once removed from the spa.
