Because my tub has the Frog inline system, that’s how I solved my going away problem and I use the @ease product if we are going on vacation. I set the cartridge on 4 and put it in right before we leave for a few weeks.
When you get back you can just finish out the month with it.
I took it one step more and I pried the cap off my @ease cartridge and dumped the contents out. If I’m going away for 2 weeks I just add half of it back in. This is the real cheapskate method but it works great. Just be careful doing it.
I've used the @ease twice now. It works well but I notice a significant different in how my water looks and feels with it. The water almost takes on a more bubbly/carbonated look when the jets are on. Like fizzy. LOL. The water also seems softer and my skin doesn't feel as dry. So the @ease is clearly putting other stuff in the water besides chlorine. Not saying it is bad....just different from using the dichlor method. Hard to describe!
Like you I have just used the @ease a couple of times. I didn’t pay enough attention I guess to any changes in the “fizzy” etc to the water and you I’m sure are correct.
What I liked about it was it is easy and the product is completely compatible with the dichlor and chlorox method I uses most of the year.
Being cheap was only part of the reason I only used part of the contents when away. The real reason is I want to get back into the dosage after use plan as quickly as I can when we return home.
