Description

FROG® @ease Replacement Cartridges are the consumable heart of the @ease Floating Sanitizing System — the simplest, lowest-maintenance way to keep a hot tub clean. This 3-pack contains the SmartChlor® and mineral cartridges that snap into your existing @ease floating dispenser and do the daily work of sanitizing your spa for you, automatically, between water changes.

If you own a hot tub, you already know the real cost isn't the water care products — it's the time and guesswork. Test, dose, wait, retest, shock, repeat. The @ease system was built to take that off your plate. Instead of manually adding chlorine and chasing a moving target, the system continuously releases a low, steady level of sanitizer using SmartChlor® Technology — a self-regulating chlorine that activates only when your water needs it. The result is water that stays clean and clear with up to 75% less chlorine than traditional systems, no harsh chlorine smell, and far less hands-on maintenance.

These are the genuine FROG® cartridges sized specifically for Bullfrog Spas, so they drop into the Bullfrog @ease dispenser without adapters or workarounds. Keeping a fresh 3-pack on hand means you're never caught with cloudy water and an empty dispenser — you simply swap in the next cartridge when the indicator tells you to.

Pro Tip: A hot tub left under-sanitized for even a few days can turn cloudy, develop odor, or grow biofilm in the plumbing. Because @ease releases sanitizer continuously and self-regulates, it protects your water during the gaps that trip up manual care — vacations, busy weeks, and the days you simply forget to test.

Brand

FROG®

What's in the Box
  • 3 x FROG® @ease Replacement Cartridges for Bullfrog Spas (SmartChlor® + mineral cartridge set, sized for the Bullfrog @ease dispenser)

Note: These are replacement cartridges only. They require the FROG® @ease Floating Sanitizing System dispenser to use. If you don't already own the floating dispenser, you'll need that first — the cartridges load into it.

Key Features
  • 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 sanitizer level instead of the spikes and dips of manual dosing.
  • Fewer shock treatments — typically only once per month, versus the weekly shocking many manual programs require.
  • Mineral-enhanced water — FROG® minerals work alongside the chlorine to keep water cleaner, clearer, and noticeably softer on skin.
  • Ozone compatible — works with spas equipped with ozone systems.
  • Long cartridge life — each SmartChlor® cartridge lasts roughly 3–4 weeks depending on use; each mineral cartridge lasts up to 4 months.
  • Genuine Bullfrog fit — sized specifically for the Bullfrog @ease dispenser, no adapters needed.
How It Works

The @ease system pairs two cartridges in one floating dispenser, each with a distinct job:

The Mineral Cartridge

FROG® minerals are released into the water as a first line of defense. 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

This is where the "smart" comes in. 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 SmartChlor® cartridge lasts about 3–4 weeks.

Putting Them Together

Both cartridges sit in the floating @ease dispenser, which moves around your spa as the water circulates, distributing minerals and sanitizer evenly. You replace each cartridge on its own schedule — SmartChlor® every few weeks, the mineral cartridge every few months — and add a monthly shock to keep the water freshly oxidized. That's the entire routine.

Pro Tip: Know When to Swap— The SmartChlor® cartridge has a color indicator window. When the blue color fades to white, the chlorine reserve is spent and it's time to swap in a fresh cartridge. Keeping a 3-pack on the shelf means the swap takes seconds.

Directions for Use
  1. Balance your water first. Before starting @ease in fresh water, balance pH (7.2–7.8) and total alkalinity, and make sure your sanitizer is at a safe level for soaking.
  2. Load the cartridges. Insert a fresh mineral cartridge and a fresh SmartChlor® cartridge into the @ease floating dispenser per the dispenser instructions.
  3. Set the dispenser and float it. Place the loaded dispenser in your spa and let it circulate. Keep it in the water at all times while the spa is in use.
  4. Replace the SmartChlor® cartridge every 3–4 weeks — or when the color indicator fades from blue to white, whichever comes first.
  5. Replace the mineral cartridge every 4 months (or per the dispenser's indicator).
  6. Shock monthly. Add a monthly oxidizing shock to keep water fresh and clear. Follow your shock product's label dosing.
  7. Test regularly. Check sanitizer and pH a couple of times a week and after heavy use, adjusting as needed.

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.

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.
