FROG WATER CARE SYSTEM
The FROG Water Care system is comprised of the following two
products:
THE FROG MINERAL CARTRIDGE. This cartridge introduces minerals
into the spa water, inhibiting bacteria growth.
THE FROG BROMINE CARTRIDGE (BCDMH). The only recommended
sanitizer that will work in conjunction with the FROG Mineral cartridge.
It is important that in addition to regularly testing and balancing your
spa water, a weekly "shock treatment" is required. The shock treatment
quickly destroys any remaining contaminants while revitalizing the
bromine in the water.
To weekly “shock treat” your spa, we recommend that you use either
MONARCH MPS Plus or sodium dichlor (chlorine). Sodium dichlor may
be a more appropriate weekly shock for those users that experience
heavy bather load conditions.
The following optional products can be used in conjunction with the
FROG Water Care system:
MONARCH MPS PLUS NON-CHLORINE SHOCK (MPS/
Monopersulfate) is an oxidizing chemical used to prevent the buildup
of contaminants, maximize sanitizer efficiency, and improve water
clarity. When used in conjunction with the FROG system it oxidizes
particulates in the spa water.
IMPORTANT NOTE: MONARCH MPS Plus is an oxidizer, not a
sanitizer.
MONARCH CORONA DISCHARGE (CD) OZONE is a high output
ozone system and is the only ozone purification system approved for
installation in your CALDERA Spa. The MONARCH ozone system
utilizes CD technology to produce a higher concentration of ozone
than is produced by a competing chip style CD or ultraviolet light
ozone systems.
NOTE: Refer to the Start-Up instructions on page 4 of your FROG
owner's manual for start-up and operation instructions. The
owner's manual can be found with your FROG starter kit.
It is important to follow the recommended application and maintenance
programs outlined for each product’s use. If the spa is being used over
an extended period or time, such as a whole afternoon or evening,
additional sanitizer will be needed.
NOTE: The FROG Mineral Cartridge is not approved for use in
Canada.
NOTE: For Canada, if you are only using the bromine cartridge, your
bromine levels should be between 3.0 - 5.0 ppm.
FROG CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT
INSTRUCTIONS
The FROG bromine cartridge should be replaced every 2-4 weeks,
depending on User Load. The FROG mineral cartridge should be
replaced every 4 months. When replacing the mineral cartridge, it is
highly recommended that the spa be drained and refilled at the same
time. After refilling the spa with water, balance the Total Alkalinity (TA),
Calcium Hardness (CH) and pH to the recommended levels. Shock
the spa by adding MONARCH MPS Plus non-chlorine shock shock or
sodium dichlor (chlorine).
To replace FROG
cartridges, follow these steps:
1. Turn off power to the spa.
2. Unscrew FROG cap on top edge of spa.
3. Turn handle counter-clockwise.
4. Lift cartridge holder up and out of spa.
5. Remove and discard old cartridges.
6. Turn top cap of new Mineral cartridge to setting #6 (evaluate water
in 1 week and adjust as necessary).
7. Turn top cap of new bromine cartridge to setting #6 (measure
bromine with bromine Test Strip in 1 week and adjust as
necessary).
8. Snap bromine cartridge into the bottom of holder and snap mineral
cartridge into the top.
IMPORTANT: It is important that the bromine cartridge is on
the bottom; otherwise, the bromine cartridge could dispense
prematurely.
9. Reinstall cartridge holder into spa, push down, and twist clockwise.
10. Replace FROG cap.
11. Reconnect power to the spa.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Adjust bromine cartridge setting down by one
setting each day until a residual of 1.0 - 2.0 ppm level of bromine is
established.
WARNING:
High sanitizer levels can cause discomfort to the users
eyes, lungs and skin. Always allow the sanitizer level to fall to the
recommended range before using the spa.
THE CALDERA SPA WATER
MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
FILLING THE SPA WITH WATER
Use the CLEAN SCREEN pre-filter to remove unwanted contaminants
such as rust, dirt, detergents, and algae from the fill water. Dissolved
metals, copper, iron, and manganese are also removed. Instructions are
included with the CLEAN SCREEN pre-filter. Always fill the spa through
the filter compartment. Do not fill your spa using water from a swimming
pool as pool
chemicals are very different from those used in a spa and
can damage your spa.
ADDING CHEMICALS TO THE WATER
All spa water chemicals, including granulated dichlor, MPS, granulated
pH increaser or decreaser, granulated total alkalinity increaser, liquid
stain and scale inhibitor, and liquid defoamer must always be added
directly into the filter compartment while the jet pump is running in its
high speed mode, and it must run for a minimum of ten minutes with the
cover off. Use the Clean button/feature to ensure that the chemicals are
properly mixed when adding.
BUILDING A SANITIZER ROUTINE
During the first month of ownership, measure the sanitizer residual
daily in order to establish a baseline of sanitizer needed vs. spa usage.
Sanitizer needed is the amount of Free Available Chlorine needed to
accommodate the number of users and their combined usage time. For
example, two spa users for twenty minutes every day creates regular
demand on the sanitizer that is used to determine how much sanitizer
to add in order to maintain the proper residual. If the usage pattern
increases dramatically with invited guests, the amount and frequency of
sanitizer required increases dramatically.
