Frog Ease for Bullfrog Tub?

(1/3) > >>

Snowba:
We love our Bullfrog A8 and go in about 2-4 nights a week year round. However, to be honest, we aren't that great about keeping the chlorine up and the water crystal clear.

Thinking about adding Frog Ease to our tub - any thoughts?

Thanks!

Jacuzzi Jim:
 We just brought the frog ease in and I like it.   Pretty "easy" to use.

Gomboman:
What type of Chlorine do they use for these systems? They call it SmartChlor but don’t specify other than it’s not dichlor. Just curious....

It is a relatively new product. It is compatible with dichlor but is a slow release in hot water more like bromine.

I dose my tub daily with dichlor even though it has an inline frog system that takes the smart chlorine canisters / @ease. When we go away I pop in an @ease to cover us when gone.

The other affordable method would be to switch to salt and buy a saltron-mini. It is a DIY project as it doesn’t involve getting into the tubs plumbing.

Its a proprietary chlorine:  DCDMH (I think).  It is Di-Chlor, but a special type that they have patented.  Aim is to have the FC at 0.5ppm w/the TC at 10-15ppm.  I have the off-line floating @ease in my spa and I love it.  I can go a week (don't be like me, this is not an endorsement of not checking your spa for a week and actually pretty poor spa water management) sometimes w/o checking the water if I am very busy with work, etc. and the sanitizer is always where it needs to be.  The Bullfrog type will be different than the in-line (Marquis, Caldera, and Artesian have exclusivity on it) as it will be in the filter area. 

In all, I really like @ease.  Not saying it is better than (fill in the blank type system), as I've used almost everything out there.  Right now, however, @ease suits my busy lifestyle.  I suspect I'll eventually do what I always do and that is go switch to something else (working for a hot tub manufacturer, I always have to be on top of all sanitizer types).  But I've been on @ease for a while and I enjoy it. 

Key is:  Keep spa temp above 94F, and keep pH in line always.

I hope this helps.  Good luck moving forward.
