Description
Three Months of Monthly Shock for Your FROG @ease Hot Tub
The FROG Maintain 3 Pack gives a FROG @ease hot tub about three months of maintenance shock: one 2 oz pouch every time you put in a fresh SmartChlor cartridge. Each pouch is a complete dose for hot tubs up to 600 gallons and is ready in as little as 15 minutes.
Three pouches line up with a typical run of SmartChlor cartridges, so you can keep one pouch next to each spare cartridge and never shock with the wrong product.
Built Around the SmartChlor Change
FROG recommends shocking right before a new SmartChlor cartridge goes in. As the old cartridge runs low, a pouch of FROG Maintain clears out contaminants so the new cartridge starts with clean water and no lingering odors.
Pair a 3 Pack with a 3 pack of SmartChlor cartridges and the routine takes care of itself: new cartridge, one pouch, done.
Protects the Low-Chlorine Benefit of FROG @ease
FROG @ease keeps chlorine at a low, steady level. A chlorine shock would spike it and work against the minerals. FROG Maintain removes organic waste without adding chlorine, so the water stays soft and easy on skin.
No Cyanuric Acid Building Up Between Drains
Many chlorine shocks contain cyanuric acid, which builds up over months and can lead to cloudy, itchy water. FROG Maintain has none, so three months of monthly shocking adds nothing that builds up between drains.

How to Use FROG Maintain
- Run the circulation: Turn on the pump or jets so the water is moving, and open the cover.
- Cut open one pouch: Snip the top of a single FROG Maintain pouch. There is nothing to measure.
- Pour it into the water: Pour the whole pouch slowly into the hot tub water, close to the surface. The granules dissolve quickly.
- Circulate for 15 minutes: Leave the circulation running with the cover open while FROG Maintain breaks down organic contaminants.
- Check and soak: Test with your usual strips, and once your sanitizer reads in its normal range, the hot tub is ready. That can be in as little as 15 minutes.
How Often to Use FROG Maintain
| Your FROG System | Routine Shock | Extra Pouch |
|---|---|---|
| FROG @ease Floating, @ease+ or @ease In-Line (SmartChlor) | Once a month, or whenever you replace the SmartChlor cartridge | After heavy use |
| FROG Serene (bromine) | Once a week | After heavy use |
| FROG Filter Mate | Once a week | After heavy use |
One pouch is one dose for hot tubs up to 600 gallons. Always follow the directions on the pouch.
Compatibility Notes
Before You Buy
- Made for hot tubs up to 600 gallons. One pouch is one complete dose.
- Recommended by FROG for every FROG hot tub sanitizer: FROG @ease Floating, @ease+ Floating, @ease In-Line, FROG Serene bromine and Filter Mate.
- As a monopersulfate shock, it is compatible with other hot tub chemicals, so it also fits chlorine and bromine routines outside the FROG line.
- With FROG @ease, avoid dichlor shock. FROG Maintain is the shock FROG recommends for SmartChlor systems.
- For swim spas, choose FROG Maintain for Swim Spas, which comes in a larger pouch made for bigger water volumes.
- Use FROG Jump Start, not FROG Maintain, to set the first chlorine level after a drain and refill.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a 3 pack of FROG Maintain last?
About three months on FROG @ease at one pouch a month, or three weeks on FROG Serene or Filter Mate at one a week. Extra pouches after heavy use shorten that.
Should I shock before I put in a new SmartChlor cartridge?
Yes. FROG recommends shocking right before the new cartridge goes in, roughly once a month, so contaminants are cleared as the old cartridge runs out.
Why does a self-regulating FROG @ease system still need shock?
SmartChlor handles daily sanitizing, but a monthly pouch of FROG Maintain breaks down built-up oils, sweat and lotions so the cartridge does not have to work as hard.
When do I use FROG Maintain with FROG @ease?
Once a month, or whenever you replace the SmartChlor cartridge, whichever comes first. Add one more pouch after a party or a stretch of heavy use.
Does it work with the FROG @ease In-Line and @ease+ systems?
Yes. FROG recommends FROG Maintain for all of its hot tub sanitizers, including FROG @ease Floating, @ease+ Floating and the In-Line cartridges.
Does it work with FROG @ease made for Bullfrog or Sundance spas?
Yes. FROG's pages for its Bullfrog and Sundance @ease versions also point to FROG Maintain for periodic shocking.
Will FROG Maintain raise my chlorine level?
No. It is a non-chlorine oxidizer, so it clears organic waste without pushing your SmartChlor level up.
Does it affect the FROG minerals?
FROG notes that high chlorine levels can reduce the benefits of FROG Fresh Mineral Water. Because FROG Maintain adds no chlorine, it avoids that problem.
Will FROG Maintain get rid of hot tub odor?
Usually, yes. Strong odors come from chlorine reacting with contaminants. FROG's guidance is to shock with FROG Maintain, and a fresh SmartChlor cartridge helps prevent them.
Do I need shock when I drain and refill?
Yes, but a different one. After refilling and balancing, use FROG Jump Start to set the first chlorine level, then use FROG Maintain monthly until the next drain.
What is the difference between FROG Maintain and FROG Jump Start?
Jump Start is a chlorine start-up shock for fresh water. FROG Maintain is the non-chlorine shock you use for ongoing care between drains.
How should I store the extra pouches?
Keep them sealed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated spot below 122°F, away from other chemicals, and locked away from kids and pets.
Is the 3 pack the same product as the single pouch?
Yes. It is three of the same 2 oz FROG Maintain pouches, part 01-14-6132, each one a full dose for up to 600 gallons.
How soon can we soak after shocking?
FROG says the hot tub can be ready in about 15 minutes. Leave the cover off with the circulation on, then test before you get in.
Can I use it with other hot tub chemicals?
It fits right into the rest of your routine. FROG states this monopersulfate shock pairs with every other hot tub chemical; give each product its own turn in circulating water.
Safety Notes
Handle With Care
- Danger: harmful if swallowed and causes severe skin burns and eye damage. Wear gloves and eye protection when you open and pour the pouch.
- Do not breathe the dust. Pour low over the water surface in a well-ventilated outdoor area, and keep your face away from the pouch.
- If in eyes, rinse cautiously with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses if easy to do, keep rinsing and call a poison center or doctor right away.
- If on skin, take off contaminated clothing and rinse with water. If swallowed, rinse the mouth, do not induce vomiting and call a poison center or doctor.
- Add the product only to hot tub water. Never mix it with other chemicals, and keep it away from moisture, heat and flammable materials.
- Store pouches sealed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place below 122°F, locked away from children and pets. Do not reuse empty pouches.
