I guess the million dollar question is does the spa frog system significantly decrease the amount you need to spend on Bromine?
Ok, I am under the impression that the Spa Frog alone cannot sanitize a tub. Even a tub with Ozone and a Frog still needs Bromine or Chlorine, at least thats what I thought I read.....
Emerald and Caldera offer the option of the Spa Frog system in their spas....It sounds great in theory, but is it just a gimmick? Does this really reduce maintenance and baby sitting? Does it lessen the cost in chemicals and reduce the need for chlorine or Bromine in the tub or do you end up spending the extra cash on Spa Frog catridges?so far I've been able to establish that the costs associated with the Spa Frog itself are:Mineral Cartridge ($20+) lasts exactly 4 monthsBromine Cartridge ($8+) lasts 2-4 weeks depending on useThis is not even counting regular bromine you must add to the spa to maintain the proper levels. Also this is not counting the initial cost of the Spa Frog option. I guess the million dollar question is does the spa frog system significantly decrease the amount you need to spend on Bromine?
In my industry, I would compare this to a sat-nav system. Necessary? NO. Convenient, Yes, do people buy it? Oh Yes, does it cost a lot??? Yes. I have seen this on the Calderas, and as described to me, it would provide the majority of the chemicals that my tub needs to operate cleanly. I am not a huge fan of Chlorine, so I like this option, and the fact that it is inline and does not increase the cost of the tub is very nice. Many tubs I have looked at have an upgrade item that you can get that will do much of your water sanitation for you, and they charge a pretty penny for it too.You dont need the Sat-Nav system in a new car, the paper map works just fine. But many of my customers have got to have it... But if you like their tub, it test drives nice for you, this is a great no cost added feature that you can use or not.
