Frog Cycler

How to change and care for your Pool Frog Chlorinator (model number 5400)

With a FROG ® auto-chlorinator your pool water will look and feel better without a lot of work or a lot of chlorine. The minerals destroy bacteria and help keep the pH in a safe range without monitoring while reducing chlorine use. The end result is softer water that has an added sparkle. Using your test kit (included with maintenance package) and your FROG ® Cycler you will be able to maintain the ideal water balance chemistry.
