Description

The FROG® @ease Floating SmartChlor® Cartridge (3 Pack) is the multi-pack refill for the universal @ease floating sanitizing system — the version that drops into your hot tub rather than seating in the filter compartment. Each cartridge is the chlorine-generating half of the @ease pair, designed to release a low, steady level of sanitizer using SmartChlor® Technology while floating in your spa.

For most spa owners, SmartChlor® cartridges are the most frequently replaced piece of the @ease system — each one lasts about 3–4 weeks. A 3-pack gives you a full three months of sanitizing on the shelf, which is the cheapest and easiest way to keep water care running smoothly without last-minute trips for refills.

The chemistry is purpose-built for FROG: SmartChlor® is a unique chlorine compound that works only with FROG® minerals. It self-regulates — automatically delivering more free chlorine when the water demands it, and pausing when the level is right. The result is up to 75% less chlorine than traditional water care, no harsh chlorine smell, and far less hands-on maintenance.

Why Keeping a 3-Pack on the Shelf Matters: SmartChlor® cartridges run out every 3–4 weeks, which means a single cartridge can leave you scrambling. A 3-pack covers roughly three months of soaks, so you're never caught between cartridges with sanitizer dropping and water turning cloudy. It's the simplest way to make @ease truly hands-off.

Brand

FROG®

What's in the Box
  • 3 x FROG @ease Floating SmartChlor® Cartridges — for the universal @ease floating system

Note: This is the SmartChlor® cartridge only. It requires the FROG @ease Floating System dispenser (sold separately) and works in tandem with the FROG @ease mineral cartridge, which is replaced on its own longer schedule (up to every 4 months).

Key Features
  • Three months of sanitizing on hand — three cartridges, each lasting 3–4 weeks, for steady supply without restock anxiety.
  • 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.
  • Fewer shock treatments — typically only once per 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 with spas equipped with ozone systems.
  • Universal fit — works with all spas and hot tubs using the FROG @ease floating system.
How It Works

The @ease system relies on two cartridges working together inside the floating dispenser. This 3-pack is the SmartChlor® half of that pairing:

The SmartChlor® Cartridge

SmartChlor® holds a reserve of chlorine and releases it only when the active sanitizer level in your water 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.

Working with the Mineral Cartridge

SmartChlor® is designed to work only with FROG® minerals — they're chemically paired. The mineral cartridge conditions the water and provides a first line of defense against bacteria, which is exactly why SmartChlor® can sanitize on so little chlorine. The mineral cartridge lasts up to 4 months, so you'll typically go through several SmartChlor® cartridges before swapping the mineral side.

The Flip Indicator

The dispenser is designed with a clever visual cue: as the SmartChlor® cartridge depletes, the floater becomes unbalanced and flips over in the water. When you see it tip, that's your signal to swap in a fresh SmartChlor® cartridge. No test strips, no guesswork — just a glance at the spa.

Pro Tip: Don't Toss a Half-Spent Cartridge— If the floater flips but the cartridge still has chlorine remaining, drain the water out, shake it, and reattach it to the floater. Put it back in the spa and let it finish out before swapping. You'll get every dose you paid for.

Directions for Use
  1. Watch for the flip. When the floating dispenser tips over in the water, it's time to replace the SmartChlor® cartridge.
  2. Remove and separate. Rotate the SmartChlor® and mineral cartridges until the arrows align, then pull them apart.
  3. Check for remaining chlorine. Drain all water from the SmartChlor® cartridge and shake it. If there's still chlorine inside, reattach the pieces and put the floater back in the spa until it's fully depleted.
  4. Insert a fresh SmartChlor® cartridge. Attach the new cartridge to the mineral cartridge per the dispenser instructions.
  5. Return the dispenser to the spa. Float it as normal and let it circulate.
  6. Replace every 3–4 weeks — or sooner if the floater flips.
  7. Shock monthly. Add a monthly oxidizing shock to keep water fresh and clear, following your shock product's label dosing.
  8. 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.

This is the universal floating SmartChlor® cartridge. It is not sized for the @ease In-Line System (which seats in the filter compartment), and it is not the Bullfrog-specific 3-pack (which is sized differently for the Bullfrog @ease dispenser).

Bullfrog Spa owner? Your @ease cartridges are a different size. You'll want the FROG® @ease Replacement Cartridge for Bullfrog Spas (3 Pack), not this universal version. If you're unsure which dispenser you have, our team can help you confirm before you buy — 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.
