Autumn in East Tennessee is stunning, but for backyard pool and spa owners, it also brings the dreaded “leaf drop.” Between falling foliage, blowing pollen, and the frequent temperature swings that can throw off water chemistry, keeping a hot tub crystal clear in the fall might sound like a lot of work.
Fortunately, if you own a Bullfrog Spa, you have the most advanced water care technology on the market working for you behind the scenes. Here is how Bullfrog Spas make autumn water care practically effortless so you can spend less time skimming and more time soaking.
1. WellSpring™ Filtration Catches the Debris
As autumn winds kick up, leaves, pine needles, and dust will inevitably find their way under your cover when you open it. Bullfrog Spas’ advanced WellSpring™ Filtration System is built specifically to handle this. Using a dual-filter design, the system pulls maximum water volume through the skimmer, immediately trapping physical debris before it has a chance to sink and decay at the bottom of your spa.
Pro Tip: During the heavy leaf-falling weeks of October and November, pop out your WellSpring filters once a week and give them a quick spray with a garden hose to ensure maximum water flow.
2. EOS™ O3 Ozone System Eliminates Impurities
Organic matter (like autumn leaves or rain runoff) can introduce bacteria to your water, which depletes your sanitizer and causes cloudy water. The EOS™ Enhanced O3 System is your secret weapon. This ground-breaking system generates powerful ozone gas to oxidize away impurities, eliminating 99.9% of potential bacteria. It is up to twice as effective as conventional hot tub ozonators, meaning your water stays incredibly clear even when organic debris occasionally blows in.
3. Hands-Free Chemistry with FROG @ease®
Nobody wants to stand outside in the freezing November air measuring out liquid chemicals. The FROG @ease Water Care System completely changes the game by using self-regulating SmartChlor® technology combined with sanitizing minerals.
The system automatically delivers exactly how much sanitizer is needed based on the water’s condition. When the cartridge is empty, it simply flips over in the water to let you know it is time to replace it. It gives you perfectly balanced, silky-soft Fresh Mineral Water® with almost zero odors and a fraction of the traditional maintenance.
Keep Your Spa Protected
Your first line of defense against autumn weather is your hot tub cover. Ensure your cover is fitted properly and free of tears to keep out the heavy East Tennessee leaf drop. A high-quality cover paired with Bullfrog’s advanced internal filtration means you will always step into a pristine, welcoming spa.
