I got a Bullfrog R8 coming in 2 weeks and the dealer isn't giving me any starter chemicals, just a frog ease smartclor system with whatever cartridges I need to fill the tub. I've been researching how to maintan the water and I'm thinking I need ph up and down, water clarifier, foam control, total alkality increase and decrease, scale n stain inhibiitor and anything else? I'm a Amazon addict, what brands are the best? Leisure time? Spa guard? Do I need a scumbug or tennis balls? There's so much to learn. Not sure if I will continue with the SmartChlor because it seems expensive so will probably switch to dichlor.
