Description
The FROG® @ease Mineral Cartridge is the mineral half of the @ease In-Line System — the version of @ease built directly into the spa’s filter compartment rather than floating in the water. It’s the cartridge that gives FROG’s Fresh Mineral Water its name: a slow, steady release of conditioning minerals that work alongside the SmartChlor® cartridge to keep your water clean, clear, and soft using far less chlorine than traditional methods.
The minerals do the heavy lifting that lets the whole system work. They condition the water and provide a first line of defense against bacteria, which is the reason a SmartChlor® cartridge can sanitize on up to 75% less chlorine than a manual program. Without the mineral cartridge in place, you’d need significantly more chlorine to reach the same level of cleanliness — and you’d lose the silky, low-odor feel that makes @ease water noticeably different from a traditionally chlorinated spa.
One mineral cartridge typically lasts up to 4 months, so you’ll replace roughly three per year — and you’ll go through about four SmartChlor® cartridges in the same period. Keeping a fresh mineral cartridge on hand (or on autoship) is the cheapest insurance against chemistry drift, hard-feeling water, and burning through extra sanitizer.
Why the Mineral Cartridge Matters: It’s tempting to think of the minerals as optional polish on top of the sanitizer, but the math runs the other way — the minerals are what make the low-chlorine approach work at all. A spent mineral cartridge forces the SmartChlor® to do more work alone, which means a shorter SmartChlor® life, a higher chlorine demand, and water that doesn’t feel the same on your skin.
