Pool Frog Mineral Reservoir Cartridge

No, this specific mineral reservoir is designed exclusively for use with the Pool Frog Classic System (model 01-01-6180). It will not function correctly with other brands or different Pool Frog models.

The minerals in the cartridge actively destroy bacteria and inhibit algae growth, which allows your primary sanitizer to work more efficiently. Because the minerals are doing a significant portion of the heavy lifting, you can typically lower your chlorine output by up to 50%.

No, this is a supplemental system, not a complete replacement. You will still need to use a low level of chlorine to maintain proper sanitation, but the mineral reservoir makes that chlorine much more effective.

The cartridge is designed to last for a full swimming season, or up to six months of continuous use. Once that timeframe has passed, the mineral effectiveness will deplete, and you should replace it to maintain water quality.

Yes, by reducing the amount of harsh chemicals like chlorine needed to keep the water clean, the mineral system helps prevent the rapid pH fluctuations often caused by high chlorine levels. This makes it easier to keep your water chemistry stable throughout the season.
