- The cartridge will last approximately 3 to 4 weeks, depending on the size of your swim spa and how often it is used.
- The system is designed to flip over when the SmartChlor Cartridge is empty and ready for replacement.
- Regularly test your swim spa water using FROG @Ease Test Strips to ensure optimal water balance.
