King Technology Instant Frog

The mineral cartridge releases silver and copper ions into the water, which destroy bacteria and algae. Because these minerals handle a significant portion of the sanitizing work, you can lower your free chlorine levels to 0.5 ppm instead of the standard 1.0 to 3.0 ppm.

The Instant Frog is designed specifically for in-ground pools up to 25,000 gallons. It works with most pool finishes, but you should ensure your pool uses stabilized chlorine, as this system is designed to complement that specific chemical type.

Yes, you will still need to shock your pool periodically to clear out contaminants that minerals alone cannot handle. However, because the minerals are constantly working to sanitize the water, you will likely find that you need to shock less frequently than with a traditional chlorine-only system.

The cartridge is designed to last for six months. You should mark your calendar for the replacement date upon installation, as the minerals will gradually deplete over that period and stop effectively sanitizing the water.

Minerals can slightly impact your water chemistry, so you should continue to test your pH and alkalinity levels weekly. While the system makes water feel softer and reduces irritation, it does not replace the need for basic chemical balancing.
