King Technology Flippin' Frog Mineral + Chlorine Sanitizer for Soft-Side Pools
Set it, float it, forget the chemical guesswork.
The King Technology Flippin' Frog (SKU PST-01128406, MPN 01-12-8406) is a self-floating mineral and chlorine sanitizer built for soft-side and above-ground pools from 2,000 to 5,000 gallons. It uses EPA-registered Fresh Mineral Water® technology to kill bacteria two ways, so you run up to 50% less chlorine and stop chasing your test kit every few days. Drop it in, let it float, and it doses your water automatically until the chlorine cartridge runs out and the frog flips over to tell you.
Why PST Customers Pick This
Kills Bacteria Two Ways
EPA-registered minerals and a low level of chlorine work together, so your water stays clean and clear without the heavy chlorine smell of a floating tab feeder.
Up To 50% Less Chlorine
The mineral cartridge lets chlorine last up to 2x longer, cutting your chlorine use roughly in half and softening the water feel on skin and eyes.
The Frog Flips To Remind You
When the chlorine cartridge is spent, the floater literally flips upside down. No calendar, no guessing, just click-twist a fresh chlorine cartridge on and keep swimming.
Built For Soft-Side Pools
Sized for 12 to 18 foot soft-side, pop-up, and above-ground pools up to 5,000 gallons, including popular Intex and Bestway style setups.
No Plumbing, No Install
There is nothing to connect and no tools required. This is a self-contained floating dispenser, so setup takes seconds and it works with any pool that has a filter running.
Prefilled And Ready
Ships with the mineral and chlorine cartridges prefilled, so you get a full season of easier water care straight out of the box.
Chlorine Handling
The chlorine cartridge contains a concentrated pool sanitizer. Handle spent and fresh cartridges with dry hands, never mix the contents with other chemicals or bromine products, and store cartridges sealed and out of reach of children and pets. Maintain a free chlorine level of roughly 0.5 to 2.0 ppm and a pH of 7.2 to 7.8, and test with FROG-compatible strips, since standard strips can read low on a mineral system and lead you to over-chlorinate.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size pool does the Flippin' Frog cover?
It is rated for soft-side and above-ground pools from 2,000 to 5,000 gallons, which covers most 12 to 18 foot pools. If your pool holds more than 5,000 gallons, step up to the Flippin' Frog XL, which is built for 5,000 to 10,000 gallon pools.
How does it reduce chlorine use by 50%?
The green mineral cartridge releases EPA-registered minerals that kill bacteria alongside a low level of chlorine. Because the minerals do part of the sanitizing work, chlorine lasts up to twice as long and you use roughly half the chlorine of a standard floating feeder. Keep free chlorine around 0.5 to 2.0 ppm rather than the higher levels a chlorine-only pool needs.
How do I know when to replace the chlorine cartridge?
The floater tells you. When the orange chlorine cartridge runs out, usually every 3 to 4 weeks, the Flippin' Frog flips upside down in the water. Click-twist the empty cartridge off, twist a fresh replacement (King Technology 01-03-8356) on, and set it back in the pool. The mineral cartridge keeps working for the rest of the season.
How long does the mineral cartridge last?
The mineral cartridge lasts 6 months or one pool season, whichever comes first. You replace the chlorine cartridge several times over that period, but the mineral side runs the full season before it needs swapping.
Do I need any tools or plumbing to set it up?
No. The Flippin' Frog is a self-contained floating dispenser with nothing to connect and no tools required. Balance your water, drop the frog in with your filter running, and it doses automatically. It is one of the easiest sanitizing systems to run yourself.

Let customers speak for us
The process was smooth and lights arived as expected. Everything test out in good working order.
Needed to replace the control overlay on our Nordic Impulse hot tub, but could not find out the make or model number of the actual control panel on our tub. By taking measurements and photos or our actual control panel button positions and functions, I was able to narrow down the options. I ordered this overlay as the button positions seemed to be in the right positions, even though the overall size was smaller than the control panel. The overlay works, in that all buttons and functions are in the right place, and the overlay seems to have adhered well to the panel. It is not a perfect match, as it is smaller overall than it should be. But I am happy with the result and will buy an additional identical overlay as a backup in case this one, too, deteriorates at some point. Took a lot of detecting, but the result is successful!
This costume is legit. It has the sparkle, glittery sheen to it like the one used on screen! Very happy with it!!
Excellent service!
PST was great at communicating the status of my order throughout the various stages. I actually did encounter a shipment issue and they handled it without issue. I will be doing business again with them.

as described, fast shipping
My wife has RA and is always uncomfortable. Our hot tub heater failed and all the local shops were not able to assist until November. I was able to order an exact replacement part which was delivered within 3 days the hot tub was up and functioning in three days. I was very impressed with the quality and service.
Good quality just ordered wrong size and also need thicker cover
Fit perfectly, and fast shipping
Super fast shipping and reliable product !
I accidentally broke the original knob by tightening it too much. This was a perfect fit and works 100%. Fast delivery too!
Swapped out broken heater (lasted about 6 years) for this one. The instructions are for the electronics, not for the plumbing. You must get everything perfectly aligned or the plumbing may leak. I needed to loosen the electronics box to get the plumbing perfectly aligned. I have hot water again.
Great prices, fast shipping, great products
Haven't received yet but I'm sure it'll be great
