The spa should have two cylindrical filters and a triangular Classic cartridge holder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow can I tell the Classic and Simplicity systems apart?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Classic system uses triangular cartridges installed in a separate holder between two cylindrical filters. The Simplicity system uses rounded cartridges installed alongside flat, rectangular filters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this kit use Simplicity Filter Housing 10-04669?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.southernleisurespas.com\/products\/bullfrog-simplicity-filter-housing-10-04669\"\u003eupdated Simplicity Filter Housing 10-04669\u003c\/a\u003e is used with regular-size and XL Simplicity cartridges.

A compatible Bullfrog Classic cartridge holder is required and must already be installed or purchased separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is included in the System Kit?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe package includes one Classic SmartChlor Cartridge, one Classic Mineral Cartridge, one FROG Jump Start packet, and one bottle of FROG @ease Test Strips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow long does the SmartChlor Cartridge last?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt typically lasts approximately three to four weeks in an average 400-gallon hot tub. Actual life depends on water capacity, temperature, bather load, filtration, water balance, and cartridge setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow often should I replace the Mineral Cartridge?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReplace it every four months or whenever the hot tub is drained and refilled, whichever occurs first. The minerals are depleted after four months even if material can still be heard inside the cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy do I need FROG @ease Test Strips?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmartChlor creates a sanitizer reserve that standard test strips may interpret as elevated total chlorine. FROG @ease Test Strips are designed for this system and include an Out Indicator showing when the SmartChlor Cartridge needs replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDo I still need to shock the spa?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Use the included FROG Jump Start packet during startup. For recurring maintenance, use FROG Maintain or another compatible non-chlorine MPS shock when replacing the SmartChlor Cartridge or approximately once per month. Routine dichlor shock is not recommended because cyanuric acid buildup can reduce SmartChlor’s effectiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I switch from bromine without draining the spa?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. If the spa was previously maintained with bromine or biguanide, drain and refill it before installing FROG @ease. A spa previously using dichlor may be converted without draining only when its cyanuric acid level is below 80 ppm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow can I confirm compatibility before ordering?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook for two cylindrical filters and a triangular cartridge holder between them.
