FROG® mineral systems are designed to operate at much lower sanitizer levels (typically around 1 ppm) — the minerals are doing the rest of the work. Try to read a FROG® mineral spa with a generic test strip and you'll get a \"low chlorine\" warning on water that's actually perfectly balanced. The FROG 5-Way strips are calibrated for these lower ranges, so the readings match how your system was designed to operate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor traditional chlorine or bromine spas that aren't using FROG® minerals, these strips work just as well as a standard 5-way test strip — they read the same five parameters across the standard ranges. They're a fine general-purpose hot tub and pool test strip, with the added benefit of giving accurate readings at the lower end of the scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"lti-pro-tip\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Reading the Right Range Matters:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eA test strip is only useful if its color scale actually matches what's happening in your water. Standard strips can read \"low chlorine\" on a properly sanitized FROG® mineral spa, which prompts owners to dose unnecessary chlorine. FROG® 5-Way strips are designed to read accurately at the lower levels FROG® systems use — so you don't add chlorine you don't need.\n\u003cdiv class=\"lti-pro-tip\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"lti-pro-tip\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"lti-pro-tip\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan aria-label=\"®\" role=\"img\"\u003eFROG®\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"FROG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40500631830583,"sku":"01-14-3318","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2507\/5288\/files\/FROG_-5-Way-Test-Strips.jpg?v=1708640783","url":"https:\/\/leisuretimeinc.com\/products\/frog%c2%ae-5-way-test-strips","provider":"Leisure Time Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
