If you have been looking for a simpler way to keep your pool or hot tub clean, you have probably come across the Frog family of sanitizing systems. Frog products pair minerals with a low dose of chlorine or bromine, keeping water fresh while using noticeably less chlorine than traditional methods - which means softer-feeling water, less odor, and less day-to-day fuss. This guide breaks down every product in the Frog line, what each one does, and how to pick the right setup for your pool or spa.
How the Frog system works
Every Frog system combines a mineral cartridge with a chlorine or bromine cartridge. The minerals handle part of the sanitizing, so you can run a lower chlorine level and still keep water clear and safe. You simply swap cartridges on a schedule instead of constantly testing and dosing - consistent water, far less hands-on effort.
