Floating Sanitizing
System Operating Instructions
This is not a toy. For sanitizing hot tubs only!
@ease ® is the hot tub sanitizing system
work out of water care so you always feel at ease while
enjoying your hot tub.
Step 1: Prepare the Hot Tub
1.
Fill hot tub with fresh water. If using
source water that is high in iron or
Metal
Out
other metals, see your dealer before
filling the hot tub. It may require the
use of a metal control product.
If previously using bromine and switching to @ease SmartChlor,
you must drain and refill your hot tub before using this product.
If previously using dichlor you may convert to SmartChlor without
having to drain the hot tub.
2.
Clean or replace filter cartridges
when dirty (Follow manufacturer's
instructions).
3.
Balance water by following STEPS a - d in order.
IMPORTANT:
Always follow printed instructions on the balancing
chemical packages. Add balancing chemicals in small increments one at a
time with the jets on and wait 6 hours before testing again and adding any
additional balancing chemicals.
Water Balance Guidelines
pH: 7.2 – 7.8
Total Alkalinity: 80 - 120 ppm
Calcium Hardness: 150 - 250 ppm
Total Dissolved Solids: <1500
a.
Take a water sample from the hot tub
and dip an @ease Test Strip into it.
b.
Look at the Total Alkalinity reading first. Adjustments
should be made to bring the Total Alkalinity in the range of
80 – 120 ppm prior to making any adjustments to pH even if
it throws pH off further.
c.
After Total Alkalinity is in range, test for pH. It should be
between 7.2 and 7.8. If higher or lower, add a pH adjuster.
d.
Lastly test for Calcium Hardness. It should be between
150 and 250 ppm. If higher, partially drain the hot tub (about 6 inch-
es) and fill with water low in calcium. If lower, add Calcium Increaser.
If balancing takes longer than 2 days shock the water and
maintain a chlorine level while continuing balancing.
Very Important!
4.
establish an initial residual of 0.5 - 1.0 ppm
free chlorine with FROG
up shock, included in this package, that
FOR SPAS AND HOT TUBS
quickly dissolves with an effervescent fizz-
ing action – one packet per 500 gallons.
5.
Heat water to the manufacturer's recommended
temperature.
6.
Begin routine hot tub care (see Step 3: Routine Hot
Tub Care) as soon as hot tub is prepared.
@ease Mineral Cartridge
DIRECTIONS FOR USE: For use in hot tubs up to 600 gallons. Use with the
@ease SmartChlor Cartridge. Ensure all hot tub equipment is working prop-
erly. Operate the pump and filter for at least 3 hours per day. Clean filter fol-
lowing manufacturer's directions. May be used with a previously filled hot tub
unless it was sanitized with bromine. Then drain and fill the hot tub with fresh
water. Start-up: Balance the water according to the water balance guidelines
with pH between 7.2 to 7.8 and total alkalinity at 80 to 120 ppm. Establish a
free chlorine residual of 0.5 to 1.0 ppm in the hot tub with FROG Jump Start
start-up shock or an EPA approved hot tub chlorine shock following the direc-
tions for that product. When using other products as outlined in directions for
this product, always follow directions on those products.
To assemble: 1. Remove outer packaging. 2. Align arrows on blue mineral
cartridge and silver chlorine cartridge. 3. Push together and twist to lock.
4. Set the dial on the chlorine cartridge (see Setting Chart in manual).
5. Place entire system in the hot tub water. 6. Shock the hot tub when replac-
ing an @ease SmartChlor Cartridge or once a month.
Replacing the Cartridges: Replace the @ease SmartChlor Cartridge when
the system flips over. Follow label directions carefully. After four months or
when draining and refilling the hot tub, replace the @ease System.

evaporation and the make-up of your source water so
maintaining water balance regularly is important.
Troubleshooting
Cloudy Water or Low-Chlorine Levels
• Check water balance. pH and Total Alkalinity need to be in the
proper ranges for the @ease Floating System to work correctly.
• Check SmartChlor Cartridge and replace if empty—see
instructions under "Replacing SmartChlor Cartridges".
• Check your calendar. The entire @ease Floating System, including
the mineral cartridge, needs to be replaced every four months.
Without the minerals, SmartChlor will not be enough to sanitize
the hot tub.
SmartChlor Cartridge Life
• If hot tub is larger than 400 gallons with significant bather load,
the cartridge life will be shorter.
• You can turn the dial setting down 1 number and monitor
chlorine levels for a few days. If needed, turn dial down again.
•If FROG @ease continually is sucked into the skimmer or filter
well, tether the product to the tub away from the jets.
•Remove FROG @ease while using the hot tub with the jets running.

@ease SmartChlor Cartridge
Remove outer packaging from
the SmartChlor Cartridge.
Line up arrows on
both cartridges,
push together to
lock.
SmartChlor cartridge will last
about 3-4 weeks for an average
400 gallon hot tub.
Floating System naturally lists in
the water. To check if SmartChlor
is empty, lift up and drain all
water from the system, then
replace in the hot tub and see if
it flips completely.
Drain and refill hot tub as direct-
ed by your hot tub manufacturer
or every four months when FROG
minerals need to be replaced.
Run filtration system as
recommended by your hot tub
manufacturer.
Regularly test water with @ease
Test Strips and follow directions
in Step 1 for maintaining pH,
Total Alkalinity and Calcium
Hardness.

The @ease Floating System has two replaceable cartridges.
Blue = Mineral Cartridge
Silver = SmartChlor Cartridge
The combination provides the Fresh Mineral Water benefits of
cleaner, clearer and softer water that's easier to take care of.

Twist the dial on the SmartChlor Cartridge to the setting number

4. Toss into the hot tub. It will float in
the water at a slight tilt.
If you like, remove @ease from the
spa while soaking. Lift out @ease and
let drain into the hot tub. Place on any surface not susceptible to
chlorine bleaching. Remember to return it to the hot tub afterwards.
Detach chlorine cartridge by twisting
to align with "unlock" arrow and pull
apart.
Attach new cartridge (see Step 2: Put
the System to Work)
Recycle empty cartridge or discard
in trash.
Note: If the chlorine cartridge still
contains a small amount after detach-

ing, place in hot tub to float on its own
until empty. Do not let it sink to bot-
tom as it may bleach hot tub surface.
4.
SmartChlor will maintain 0.5-1.0 ppm free chlorine level
as long as the water is balanced.
NOTE: Free Chlorine levels are reduced up to 75%*
when using @ease Minerals.
NOTE: Why @ease Test Strips? The SmartChlor cartridge forms a
chlorine reserve that will be inaccurately measured as total chlorine
on other test strips. Unlike conventional chlorine, the SmartChlor
reserve readily shifts to free chlorine as needed, maintaining spa
health with a low level of chlorine.

Shock the hot tub with a
non-chlorine shock when you
replace the SmartChlor Cartridge
or once a month.

System as directed.
High Chlorine Levels
This is highly unlikely with @ease
because SmartChlor is self-regulat-
ing. However, if you use standard test
strips, it may appear that total chlo-
rine is higher than the free chlorine.
No worries—the strip is measuring the
SmartChlor reserve, which will shift
to free chlorine as needed. Please
always use the @ease Test Strips that
were included with your System.

used in conjunction with the @ease SmartChlor Cartridge (EPA Reg. No. 53735-14).
