Jrisebo Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 What chlorine granules do you guys use? Hot tup takes the frog cartridge but I pop them open and put tablets inside. Want to get granules instead. Seem all are fast dissolving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratchett Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 The Frog system does not use a standard chlorine - instead it uses this chemical. You're not the first to try to find a replacement to refill your own frog system. The problem everyone has is that while they have been able to identify the chemical compound, there is no supplier for this chemical selling it in granular form on the market (the closest someone has gotten was a powdered format). So unless you have a Chemist friend who wants to be the next Walter White, it's a fools errand That said, I personally use a Dichlor 56 product (AllClear Spa Sanitizer) in my tub for sanitizing.

Cusser Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 I've used a floater and 1" bromine tablets in my spa since 1988. When your spa reaches that age, drop me a note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will look into it. 2 minutes ago, Cusser said: I've used a floater and 1" bromine tablets in my spa since 1988. When your spa reaches that age, drop me a note. I have been popping off the top and putting 1" tablets in the frog cartridge. It works good, but so much wasted space, I was hoping a granular option was available. The 1" tablets work good, just a bit of a menace to refill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
