The Pool Frog Model 5400 and the Pool Frog XL Pro are both mineral systems designed for inground pools up to 40,000 gallons, but the main difference comes down to convenience and cartridge size.
The Frog 5400 Series is a single cycler system that holds both the mineral reservoir and the Bac Pac chlorine cartridge. The mineral reservoir lasts up to six months, while the smaller Bac Pac typically needs replacing every one to three weeks depending on pool usage and conditions.

In contrast, the Frog XL Pro Series uses a dual cycler setup. One cycler is used for the same mineral cartridge as the 5400 series, and the second cycler is used for a much larger 6-pound chlorine Pac. This larger Pac lasts longer, often three to four weeks or more, which reduces how often you need to replace it. Because of this, the XL Pro is especially appealing for larger pools or pool owners who want less frequent maintenance.

Both systems provide the same Fresh Mineral Water benefits, but the XL Pro stands out for its extended chlorine life and added convenience.
