Description
Three Months of Monthly Swim Spa Shock for FROG @ease, in Pre-Measured 1 lb Packets
This 3 pack holds three 1 lb packets of FROG Maintain for Swim Spas, the non-chlorine shock FROG made for its @ease swim spa system. Each packet is one complete dose for up to 3,000 gallons.
With FROG @ease, you shock once a month, so three packets cover about three months. There's no chlorine and no cyanuric acid, and the swim spa is ready again 15 minutes after you pour.
Three Months of Shock in One Order
FROG's @ease routine calls for one packet a month. Three packets carry you through about three months, close to one 4-month mineral cycle.
Clean Water Without the Chlorine Smell
Maintain is a monopersulfate oxidizer. It breaks down the sweat, oils and lotions that cloud water and cause odors, without raising chlorine or leaving cyanuric acid behind.
Helps SmartChlor Go the Distance
Adding a packet when the @ease system is about three-quarters tilted helps the SmartChlor Cartridge last roughly another week, according to FROG.
Pour and Go
Cut the corner, pour across the surface with the jets on high and leave the cover open. In 15 minutes you're back in.

- Cut and pour: Cut the packet open and pour the granules slowly and evenly across the surface.
- Let it dissolve: Keep the jets on high for a few minutes until the granules dissolve completely.

One 1 lb packet is one dose for a swim spa up to 3,000 gallons. FROG also suggests a packet each time you replace the SmartChlor Cartridge and after heavy use, so plan a few extra.
FROG Kick-It or FROG Maintain?
| FROG Kick-It Start-Up Shock | FROG Maintain for Swim Spas | |
|---|---|---|
| Job | One-time start-up shock after a fresh fill | Routine monthly shock |
| Type | Chlorine (sodium dichloro-s-triazinetrione) | Non-chlorine MPS (potassium monopersulfate) |

| Where it comes from | Included in the @ease system for swim spas | Sold separately in 1, 3, 6 and 12 packs |
The swim spa manual warns against routine dichlor shocking because cyanuric acid builds up and makes SmartChlor less effective.
Compatibility Notes
Before You Buy
- Made for swim spas up to 3,000 gallons; one 1 lb packet is one dose. For a hot tub, use FROG Maintain for Hot Tubs instead.
- Recommended with the FROG @ease Sanitizing System for Swim Spas, and FROG says it works with all other swim spa chemicals.
- FROG's product listing excludes biguanide (non-chlorine, non-bromine) sanitizers. Don't use it with those systems.
- Maintain is a shock, not a sanitizer. Keep an EPA-registered sanitizer running.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a 3 pack of FROG Maintain for Swim Spas last?
About three months with FROG @ease, since you shock once a month. With systems that need weekly shock, it's about three weeks.
Do I shock monthly or at every cartridge change?
Either. FROG says once a month or each time you replace the SmartChlor Cartridge. Since cartridges last 3–4 weeks, those usually line up.
Can we get back in the same day we shock?
Yes. The swim spa is safe to re-enter after 15 minutes, once the granules have dissolved with the jets on high.
Is FROG Maintain safe to use with my balancing chemicals?
Yes. FROG says it works with all other swim spa chemicals. Add one product at a time with the jets running and don't mix them dry.
Do I save money buying the 3 pack?
No. It's the same price as three single packets at HotTubPirate.com. The 3 pack just saves you from reordering every month.
Does this pair with the SmartChlor 3 pack?
Yes. Three SmartChlor refills and three Maintain packets match up one to one, so you can shock at each cartridge change.
Should I add an extra packet after a lot of swimmers?
FROG says it's best to add Maintain after heavy use as well as on your regular schedule. That's when sweat and oils build up fastest.
How should I pour the granules in?
Slowly and evenly across the surface, with the circulation pump and jets on high. Keep them running a few minutes until the granules dissolve.
Is the 3 pack the same packet as the single?
Yes. Nothing about the formula or size changes. You simply get three of the 01-14-6134 one-pound packets in a single order instead of one.
Can people stay in the swim spa while I shock?
No. Add it with no one in the water, then wait 15 minutes before anyone gets back in.
Should I dissolve Maintain in a bucket of water first?
No. FROG's directions are to pour the dry granules slowly and evenly across the surface with the jets on high, then let the jets dissolve them.
Where should I keep the unopened packets?
In a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from other chemicals, children and pets. Moisture and heat can break down oxidizers.
Do I need Maintain right after a fresh fill?
Use the FROG Kick-It start-up shock after a fresh fill. Start your monthly Maintain routine after that.
Will FROG Maintain throw off my pH?
The packet front says it's formulated to keep pH stable. Still, test with FROG @ease Test Strips and keep pH between 7.2 and 7.6.
Will monthly Maintain shocks raise cyanuric acid?
No. FROG says it has no chlorine and no cyanuric acid, so there's no buildup that leads to irritating water and frequent draining.
Safety Notes
Handle With Care
- The packet label carries the Danger signal word. Per its Safety Data Sheet, FROG Maintain causes severe skin burns and serious eye damage and is harmful if swallowed. Don't breathe the dust.
- Wear gloves and eye protection. If it gets in your eyes, rinse cautiously with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses if easy to do, keep rinsing and get medical help.
- Pour it into the water, never water into the packet, and only with no one in the swim spa.
- Never mix it with other chemicals, including chlorine. Add one product at a time with the jets running.
- Store unopened packets in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place out of reach of children and pets.
- Read the full packet label and Safety Data Sheet before use.
