Happens to also be the active ingredients in a product called 2000 Flushes 8)

I did send a note off to Lonza and ask for a list of distributors/resellers. Will post their reply

Kinda missing the point on @ease: The FREE chlorine (it is a di-chlor but an entirely different type of di-chlor than what most people are accustomed to) is supposed to be low: 0.5-1.0ppm. The TOTAL chlorine is supposed to be 10-15ppm. Thus- it is meant to be able to handle small or large bather loads. The nature of the di-chlor is to release one atom into the water as free, and one in reserve, whereas di-chlor releases both.
If you're adding bleach, etc, with regularity, you are defeating the purpose of @ease. I am not for/against bleach method, but the poster asked specifically about @ease. If you're more comfortable dosing daily- do that and nix the @ease. But if you do not want to deal with it on a daily basis, stick to the script.
The key w/@ease, and this is where everyone goes wrong, is pH: It has to stay between 7.4-7.8. Keep it there, and you'll be fine, inasmuch as you keep your tub at 94F or hotter. Most people allow the pH to slip, then fall into the old habit of adding di-chlor. With *that much* reserve chlorine, clearing the unit up is easy if you rebalance the pH/alkalinity.
I have found that the JUMP START (which is essentially a traditional di-chlor) is helpful if used once a week vs. once a month.
Hope this helps. Good luck moving forward.

Thank you, I also have been adding a shock once per week instead of once a month as recommended by the folks at Frog. Your note indicates a di-chlor shock would be better than MPS in the @ease system?
The Wizard of Spas:
The JUMP START is essentially another form of di-chlor so yes.

I'm adding dichlor twice a week. But we have been using a lot since tub is new
