As pool season begins, it’s the perfect time to reintroduce one of the easiest and most reliable sanitizing systems available: the Aqua Smarte System (also known as Pool Frog). Many Clover customers already have this system installed in line with their filter — and for good reason. It delivers clear, comfortable water with far less chlorine and far less work.

This guide explains how the system works, how to start it up, and why it remains one of our most trusted pool‑care solutions.

🌿 Why Pool Owners Love the Aqua Smarte  System

Manufactured by King Technology, the Pool Frog System has become one of the most popular sanitizing options on the market. Here’s why:

• Extremely easy to use
• Uses up to 50% less chlorine than traditional methods
• No direct handling of chemicals
• Low maintenance
• Gentle on pool surfaces and equipment
• Reduces odors, fading, and irritation

The result? Cleaner water with fewer chemicals — and more time to enjoy your pool.

⚙️ How the System Works

The system uses a two‑part approach:

1. Mineral Canister

A replaceable canister filled with sanitizing minerals that:

• Kill bacteria
• Reduce chlorine demand
• Improve water clarity
• Last six months (a full pool season)

2. Pre‑Filled Chlorine Pac

A sealed chlorine cartridge that:

• Dispenses a controlled amount of chlorine
• Works with the system’s adjustable dial
• Lasts 2–4 weeks, depending on pool size and usage

Important:
Never cut, puncture, or open the chlorine pac.
Doing so disables the metering system and can cause unsafe chlorine levels.

Together, the minerals and chlorine pac maintain a steady, low‑chlorine environment — similar to drinking‑water levels — while keeping your pool clean and safe.

🚀 Startup Guide: How to Use the System

Whether you’re opening your pool for the first time or need a quick refresher, follow these steps:

1. Start With a Running Filter

Your pool should be full and circulating.

2. Insert Fresh Cartridges

Install:

• A new mineral canister
• A new chlorine pac

3. Set the Dial to 5

Run the system for 48 hours with the dial at #5 to establish your initial chlorine level.

4. Test Your Water

After 48 hours:

• Use a test strip
• Or bring a sample to Clover for free testing
• Keep the sample in a sealed container and out of sunlight

5. Adjust the Dial

Your target chlorine reading is 0.5 ppm (yes — point five).
If chlorine is:

• Too low → turn the dial up
• Too high → turn the dial down

6. Retest in 24 Hours

Fine‑tune the dial until you consistently reach 0.5 ppm.

7. Mark Your Setting

Once you find the perfect dial number, mark it.
This makes future cartridge changes and spring startups effortless.

📉 Why 0.5 ppm Chlorine Works With Pool Frog

Because the mineral system does most of the sanitizing work, the Pool Frog only needs 0.5 ppm chlorine to maintain safe, clear water.

For comparison:

• Traditional chlorine pools require 1–3 ppm
• Pool Frog pools stay clean at 0.5 ppm thanks to the mineral technology

This means:

• Softer water
• Less odor
• Less fading of liners and swimsuits
• Less wear on equipment

🧪 Weekly Maintenance Tips

Even with the Aqua Smarte System, basic water care still matters:

Test Weekly

Check:

• pH
• Alkalinity
• Chlorine

Balanced water ensures the system works properly.

Shock After Heavy Use

If you’ve had:

• A big pool party
• Excessive sun
• Heavy rain

Add a dose of chlorine shock to eliminate contaminants and restore clarity.

Replace Cartridges as Needed

• Minerals: once per season
• Chlorine pac: every 1–3 weeks

✨ The Benefits of Using Aqua Smarte

When used correctly, the Aqua Smarte System delivers:

• Crystal‑clear water
• Lower chlorine levels
• Less maintenance
• Longer equipment life
• More enjoyable swimming experience

It’s one of the simplest, most effective sanitizing systems available — and a favorite among Clover Home Leisure customers for over a decade.
