Welcome to our forum.
What actually is in them and is there a way to refill them? I know the spa frog is technically not reusable, but I open my bromine ones and put new tabs in them and reuse them. If I found out what was in the mineral one and could purchase the stuff in bulk, I could also refill the mineral spa frog ones (which are expensive)

I went out and bought a $5 floater and put my own 1" bromine tabs in it...I stopped using minerals and have not noticed any difference in bromine usage or water quality.

Cartridges are not refillable. There will also be minerals in the mineral cartridges even if they are a couple years old. If you are using the spa frog bromine cartridges, they technically are not reusable either. If you are opening the cartridge and putting bromine tabs in then I would just get a floater. Bromine tabs are not what they come with and will dissolve at a different rate.

Bromine tabs are not what they come with and will dissolve at a different rate.I understand, however opening them is actually really easy. I have found that bromine levels have been higher in the tub with the cartridge set at the same setting as I used with the spa frog chemicals (3)....so I just knocked it down to 2 and it seems to be working fine. Prefer not to have something floating around in tub when there is something built in to handle it.
Which begs to question..what is in it. Only a matter of time before it can be replicated (at least with a refill product).
