Description

The FROG® @ease Floating Sanitizing System is the complete starter kit for FROG's most universal hot tub water care system — a floating dispenser that drops right into any spa, regardless of brand. No port to find, no holder to clip onto a filter, no special configuration. If you own a hot tub, this works.

For most spa owners, this is the simplest possible entry into FROG® @ease. You get the floating dispenser preloaded with both cartridges — a mineral cartridge and a SmartChlor® cartridge — plus a Jump Start packet to bring fresh water up to a working sanitizer level and test strips to check your water. Drop it in, balance your water, and the system handles the daily sanitizing automatically.

The chemistry is the same proven @ease formula. SmartChlor® is a unique chlorine compound that works only with FROG® minerals. It self-regulates, delivering more free chlorine when your water demands it and pausing when the level is right. Paired with the minerals, the system sanitizes using up to 75% less chlorine than traditional water care — with no harsh chlorine smell, no daily dosing, and no weekly shocking.

Why a Floating System Matters: Unlike the In-Line, Sundance, and Bullfrog versions of @ease — all of which require specific built-in ports or holders — the floating system works in any hot tub. If you have a spa that didn't come with a built-in FROG dispenser, or you want a setup you can move between spas, this is the version for you.

Brand

FROG®

What's in the Box
  • 1 x @ease Mineral Cartridge — lasts up to 4 months
  • 1 x @ease SmartChlor® Cartridge — lasts 3–4 weeks depending on use
  • 1 x @ease Jump Start — startup product to bring fresh water up to sanitizer level fast
  • 1 x @ease Test Strips — for checking sanitizer and water balance

Note: The floating dispenser holds both cartridges and is included as part of this starter system. When the cartridges run low, restock with the FROG @ease Floating SmartChlor® Cartridge 3-Pack — they reload into the same dispenser.

Key Features
  • Works in any hot tub — universal floating design, no built-in port or special holder required.
  • Complete starter package — both cartridges plus Jump Start and test strips, everything a new owner needs to begin.
  • Up to 75% less chlorine — SmartChlor® Technology uses a fraction of the chlorine of traditional water care, with no chlorine smell and no fading swimwear.
  • Self-regulating sanitizer — releases chlorine only as your water demands it, holding a steady, gentle level instead of the spikes and dips of manual dosing.
  • Shock only once a month — versus the weekly shocking many manual programs require.
  • Built-in flip indicator — when the floater tips over in the water, it's a visual signal that the SmartChlor® cartridge needs replacing.
  • Ozone compatible — works alongside spas equipped with ozone systems.
How It Works

The floating system pairs two cartridges in one dispenser that floats freely in your spa as the water circulates:

The Mineral Cartridge

FROG® minerals are released into the water as a first line of defense against bacteria. The minerals condition the water and reduce the amount of chlorine needed to keep it clean — they're the reason @ease can run on so little chlorine. A single mineral cartridge typically lasts up to 4 months.

The SmartChlor® Cartridge

SmartChlor® holds a reserve of chlorine and releases it only when the active sanitizer level drops — then pauses once the water is balanced again. This self-regulating action keeps a consistent, low sanitizer level instead of the boom-and-bust cycle of adding chlorine by hand. Each cartridge lasts about 3–4 weeks depending on use.

Getting Started

On a fresh fill, balance your water, add the included Jump Start packet to establish a sanitizer level quickly, then load both cartridges into the floating dispenser and drop it in the spa. The dispenser drifts around as the water circulates, distributing minerals and sanitizer evenly. From there, you swap the SmartChlor® cartridge every few weeks, the mineral cartridge every few months, and add a monthly shock — that's the whole routine.

Pro Tip: Watch for the Flip— As the SmartChlor® cartridge depletes, the floater becomes unbalanced and physically tips over in the water. When you see it flip, that's your cue to swap in a fresh cartridge. No test strips, no guesswork — just a glance at the spa.

Directions for Use
  1. Balance your water first. On a fresh fill, balance pH (7.2–7.8) and total alkalinity before starting the system.
  2. Add @ease Jump Start. Use the included Jump Start to quickly bring fresh water up to an effective sanitizer level, per the package directions.
  3. Load the cartridges. Insert the mineral cartridge and the SmartChlor® cartridge into the floating dispenser.
  4. Float the dispenser. Place it in your spa and keep it in the water at all times while the spa is in use.
  5. Test with the included strips. Check sanitizer and pH a couple of times a week and after heavy use, adjusting as needed.
  6. Watch for the flip. When the floater tips over, replace the SmartChlor® cartridge (typically every 3–4 weeks).
  7. Replace the mineral cartridge every 4 months.
  8. Shock monthly. Add a monthly oxidizing shock to keep water fresh and clear, following your shock product's label dosing.

Pro Tip: Follow the Label First— Always follow the instructions printed on the @ease dispenser and cartridge packaging — they take precedence over any general guidance. Spa size, bather load, and water source all affect how quickly cartridges are consumed.

If your spa has a built-in FROG @ease In-Line port, or if you own a Bullfrog or Sundance spa with brand-specific @ease cartridges, those versions are sized differently. The universal floating system is the best fit for any spa without a brand-specific @ease setup.

Not sure which version of @ease you need? If your spa didn't come with a built-in FROG port or holder, this universal floating version is almost certainly the right choice. If you're unsure, our team can help confirm before you order — just reach out.

FROG® Brand FAQs

What makes FROG® different from regular chlorine or bromine?

FROG uses minerals as a first line of defense, which lets it sanitize with a much lower level of chlorine or bromine than traditional systems. Minerals and sanitizer work together to keep water clean two ways at once. The payoff for you is water that feels softer, has little to no chemical smell, and takes far less hands-on maintenance.

What is "Fresh Mineral Water®"?

It's FROG's term for the water its systems create: cleaner, clearer, softer, and easier to maintain. The minerals condition the water and help hold pH steady, while the reduced sanitizer level handles the rest — so you get sparkling water that's gentler on skin, hair, and swimwear than heavily chlorinated water.

Do FROG® cartridges really reduce how much chlorine I use?

Yes. Because the minerals do part of the sanitizing work, FROG® systems need significantly less chlorine or bromine to keep water clean. The @ease line with SmartChlor® Technology, for example, can use a fraction of the chlorine of a conventional hot tub program while still keeping the water properly sanitized.

How do the pre-filled cartridges work?

Each FROG® cartridge comes pre-filled with the right mineral or sanitizer formula — there's nothing to measure or mix. You simply drop or snap the cartridge into its holder or dispenser, set it, and let it do the work as water circulates. When a cartridge is spent, you swap in a fresh one. That's the "no mess, no guess, no stress" approach
FROG® is known for.

Will FROG® products work with my pool, hot tub, or swim spa?

FROG® makes systems for all three, in sizes ranging from small hot tubs to large in-ground pools, so there's almost always a fit. Some products are model-specific (for example, @ease cartridges sized for particular spa brands), so it's worth confirming the right version for your equipment. If you're unsure which FROG® product matches your setup, reach out and we'll help you pin it down.

How often do I replace the cartridges, and do I still need to shock?

Replacement timing depends on the product and your usage — mineral cartridges generally last for months, while sanitizer cartridges are swapped more often (the system's indicator tells you when). You'll still add a periodic shock to keep water freshly oxidized, but typically far less often than a fully manual program requires. Always follow the schedule printed on your specific product's packaging.

About Frog®

For more than 25 years, FROG® has been making pool, hot tub, and swim spa care dramatically simpler — without asking owners to compromise on water quality. Made by King Technology, FROG built its reputation on one patented idea: combine the natural cleaning power of minerals with a low, steady level of sanitizer, so your water stays clean using far less chlorine or bromine than traditional methods.

The result is what FROG calls Fresh Mineral Water® — water that's cleaner because it fights bacteria two ways (minerals plus a low level of sanitizer), clearer because balanced minerals help hold pH steady, and softer because those same minerals condition the water for a gentler feel on your skin. And it's easier, because nearly everything comes in pre-filled, drop-in cartridges. No measuring, no mess, no guesswork.

That convenience-first philosophy runs through the entire FROG lineup — from the SmartChlor®-powered @ease systems for hot tubs and swim spas, to the bromine-based Serene line, to the POOL FROG and Flippin' FROG systems for pools of every size, plus a full range of support chemicals and problem-solvers. Whatever you're sanitizing, there's a FROG product sized for it, and they're all built around the same goal: less time on maintenance, more time enjoying the water.
