Dichlor The most common chlorine used in hot tubs |
SmartChlor A unique form of chlorine that works only with FROG minerals
|
| Dissolves quickly | Dissolves slowly even in hot water |
| Used up immediately as contaminants enter the water and has no reserve | Creates a reserve of chlorine that converts to free chlorine when contaminants enter the hot tub |
| Free chlorine level drops significantly under demand, more dichlor must be added to keep up with the demand – it’s a yo-yo effect | Self-regulates; it maintains a consistent 0.5 to 1.0 free chlorine level in the hot tub for the life the cartridge |
| Must maintain industry standards of 2 – 4 ppm | Reduces overall chlorine use up to 75%* by only needing 0.5 – 1 ppm |
| Contains up to 50% Cyanuric Acid, which leads to a quick build up resulting in itchy, cloudy water with shorter life. You must drain and refill more often. | Contains zero Cyanuric Acid – no build up possible; the water lasts longer |
| Strong odors occur when dichlor combines with contaminants in the water. Requires a shock treatment. | SmartChlor is self-shocking for the life of the cartridge. We recommend that you shock right before putting a new cartridge in which is about once a month. Therefore, when the SmartChlor level is declining as the old cartridge is used up you get rid of any contaminants with a shock and start, and then with a new cartridge. The result is no unpleasant odors at any time. |
