King Technology 01-12-8406 Flippin’ FROG Pool Mineral Sanitizer
The King Technology 01-12-8406 — known as the Flippin' FROG Pool Mineral Sanitizer — is an easy-to-use, dual-cartridge floating sanitizer designed to deliver soft, clean, mineral-enhanced water with far less chlorine than traditional sanitizing methods.
Key Features
- Dual-action sanitation: combines mineral sanitation with a low-level chlorine dose for effective bacteria control.
- Pre-filled cartridges — no measuring, no handling of loose chlorine granules or tabs.
- Automatic flip indicator: when the blue chlorine cartridge is spent, the unit flips over so you know it’s time to replace it (typically every 3–4 weeks).
- Mineral cartridge lasts up to 6 months — covers an entire pool season under normal use.
- Reduces chlorine usage by up to ~50% compared with chlorine-only systems for gentler water that’s softer on skin, hair, and swimsuits.
