FROG Jump Start Spa Startup Shock
Fresh fill in. Chlorine bank set.
FROG Jump Start (King Technology MPN 01-14-6012, PST SKU PST-01146012) is the single-dose dichlor shock you pour in the moment your hot tub is freshly filled. It clears out organic contaminants from the new water and builds an initial chlorine bank up to 500 gallons, so your FROG @ease SmartChlor or FROG Serene Bromine cartridge starts from a clean, sanitized base. One pre-measured packet, no scooping, no guesswork, spa ready in 15 minutes.
Why PST Customers Pick This
Pre-Measured Dichlor Dose
One packet delivers a calibrated dose of sodium dichloro-s-triazinetrione (33%), the fast-acting chlorine that brings a fresh 500-gallon fill up to a proper starting sanitizer level in a single pour.
Effervescent Fizzing Action
Jump Start bubbles the instant it hits the water. That fizz breaks up the granules and spreads them evenly so you get consistent coverage instead of concentrated hot spots.
Dissolves Before It Settles
The formula dissolves before it reaches the bottom of the shell, so it will not sit on the acrylic and bleach or etch your spa surfaces the way undissolved granules can.
Built For Fresh Fills
This is a startup shock, not a weekly maintenance product. Use it every time you drain and refill so your water begins its cycle clean and chlorinated.
Extends Your Cartridge Life
Setting the initial chlorine bank with Jump Start takes the early load off your SmartChlor or Serene Bromine cartridge, so the cartridge lasts closer to its full rated run.
No Scooping, No Math
The dose is portioned for you. Open the packet, pour it into the freshly filled spa, run the high-speed jets for about a minute, and you are done.
Chemical Safety
Jump Start is a concentrated dichlor chlorine shock (sodium dichloro-s-triazinetrione). Keep it out of reach of children, pour it directly into the water and never pre-dissolve it in a bucket, and never mix it with bromine, other chlorine products, or any other spa chemical, doing so can release toxic chlorine gas. Wait until the level drops to a safe range and the 15-minute activation has passed before you enter the water. Add the @ease or Serene cartridge only after Jump Start has fully dissolved.
Specifications
Frequently Asked Questions
When exactly do I use FROG Jump Start?
Use it right after you drain and refill your hot tub, before you drop in your @ease SmartChlor or Serene Bromine cartridge. It sets the initial chlorine bank on the fresh water. It is a startup product, not a weekly shock, so you reach for it every time you change the water, not on a routine schedule.
How much water does one packet treat?
One 1.5 oz packet treats a freshly filled spa up to 500 gallons. Most residential hot tubs fall well within that, so a single packet handles a standard fresh fill. For a larger swim spa, follow the King Technology dosing on the label for volumes above 500 gallons.
How is this different from my regular @ease cartridge?
The cartridge is your ongoing sanitizer, it releases SmartChlor or bromine slowly over weeks. Jump Start is the one-time kick that gets fresh water sanitized immediately so the cartridge does not have to fight dirty startup water. Running Jump Start first is what lets the cartridge reach its full rated life.
Can I install and use this myself?
Yes. Open the packet, pour it directly into the freshly filled spa, let it fizz for a few seconds, then run the high-speed jets for about a minute until it fully dissolves. Keep the cover open during activation and wait 15 minutes before entering. No tools and no measuring required.
Will it damage my spa surfaces?
No, when used as directed. Jump Start is engineered to dissolve before it reaches the bottom of the shell, which prevents the concentrated granules from resting on the acrylic and bleaching or etching it. Always pour it into the water directly and run the jets rather than letting it pile up in one spot.
