Enjoy cleaner, clearer, softer hot tub water with less chlorine or bromine using FROG Filter Mate. This convenient mineral sanitizer fits inside most spa filter cartridges, where circulating water passes through FROG's patented mineral formula to provide continuous mineral sanitation.
FROG Filter Mate works alongside a low level of chlorine or bromine to kill bacteria two ways. Because the minerals actively contribute to sanitizing the water, FROG says you can use up to 50% less chlorine or bromine compared with traditional sanitizing levels.
The benefits go beyond reducing sanitizer use. FROG minerals help condition the water for a softer feel and help maintain pH, making your hot tub water easier to manage. Installation is simple, with no mineral measuring or messy refilling required. Just set the built-in replacement reminder, place Filter Mate in the appropriate location, and let your spa's circulation system do the rest.
Each FROG Filter Mate lasts up to four months and should also be replaced whenever you drain and refill your hot tub.

How Does FROG Filter Mate Work?
FROG Filter Mate releases a low level of sanitizing minerals as spa water circulates through the filter area. These minerals work together with chlorine or bromine to kill bacteria, allowing you to maintain a lower chlorine or bromine level than you would with a traditional sanitizer-only program.
FROG recommends maintaining at least 1.0 ppm chlorine or bromine while Filter Mate is in use. The manufacturer's instructions identify a typical chlorine or bromine range of 1.0–2.0 ppm when using FROG minerals.
Filter Mate does not replace chlorine or bromine. Instead, it works with your sanitizer so you can enjoy the benefits of mineral water while using less of it.
How Do You Install FROG Filter Mate?
For most hot tubs, insert FROG Filter Mate into the center core of the filter cartridge. Before installation, set the reminder dial for four months from the current date.
If the Filter Mate is too long, the stem can be shortened at the marked notches. For high-flow spas or filter designs where placing it inside the cartridge could restrict water flow, FROG provides alternative installation locations such as the filter well. Some smaller-cartridge systems can use the skimmer tray.
Always follow the installation instructions included with the product for your particular filter configuration.
