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.
Manufactured by King Technology, the Pool Frog System has become one of the most popular sanitizing options on the market. Here’s why:
The result? Cleaner water with fewer chemicals — and more time to enjoy your pool.
The system uses a two‑part approach:
A replaceable canister filled with sanitizing minerals that:
A sealed chlorine cartridge that:
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.
Whether you’re opening your pool for the first time or need a quick refresher, follow these steps:
Your pool should be full and circulating.
Install:
Run the system for 48 hours with the dial at #5 to establish your initial chlorine level.
After 48 hours:
Your target chlorine reading is 0.5 ppm (yes — point five).
If chlorine is:
Fine‑tune the dial until you consistently reach 0.5 ppm.
Once you find the perfect dial number, mark it.
This makes future cartridge changes and spring startups effortless.
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:
This means:
Even with the Aqua Smarte System, basic water care still matters:
Check:
Balanced water ensures the system works properly.
If you’ve had:
Add a dose of chlorine shock to eliminate contaminants and restore clarity.
When used correctly, the Aqua Smarte System delivers:
It’s one of the simplest, most effective sanitizing systems available — and a favorite among Clover Home Leisure customers for over a decade.
