Spa Chemicals.
The treatment of water for safe swimming in a hot tub, is broadly the same as for a small pool, a public leisure centre or an olympic 50 metre pool! The main differences are that the concentrations of bacteria tend to be much higher in low volume facilities such as in hot tubs, hydrotherapy pools and teaching pools. Also - the operating temperatures are higher, which in turn encourages bacteria to breed more rapidly.
You can use the same bromine, chlorine, Oxysure (a powerful active oxygen treatment) and pH correction chemicals in 5kg packs, as well as a range of specialist spa treatments such as Spa No Foam, Spa Cartridge Cleaner and Spa Sparkle in 2 litre bottles. In view of the nice warm conditions for bugs to breed, regular water testing is the key to keeping your hot tub safe and enjoyable!
Champion Bromine tablets
Bromine is a very effective pool sanitiser of the same group of chemicals as chlorine (the halogen group), and some poeple find it more pleasant to use in swimming pools and spas.
This is the same product as the Bromine tablets offered here as pool water treatment chemicals. However - if you buy water treatment chemicals packaged in typical spa sizes - for example 500gm or 1.0kg bottles, they can cost over twice the price per kilo!
The need for an effective batericide is just the same in a hot tub as your local public pool - - but the concentrations of bacteria can be higher and the water temperature hotter, so chemicals and dosing rates need to be adjusted accordingly.
pH Increaser - Sodium Carbonate - Soda Ash
These are all different names for the same product!
It is important to adjust the pH of water for swimming - whether in a hot tub, domestic pool,
local leisure centre or an Olympic pool. The water chemistry is broadly similar but the concentrations of bacteria tend to be far higher in smaller volumes of water - your hot tub!
The pH is important as disinfectants that are chlorine or bromine based work better in water that is neither too acidic or too alkaline, and pH is the measure of acidity or akalinity of water - measured as its hydrogen potential or - pH! The range to aim for is 7.4 to 7.6.
This is the same pack size as for swimming pools - the same chemical in fact, sodium carbonate. It is simply much more cost effective to buy in larger quantities, and we just don't sell one kilo packs for the price of 5kg's and call it 'Spa pH Increaser' - so enjoy 5kg's for the price of 5!
Guardex Shimmer
You still need to look after your hot tub water in the usual way, checking sanitiser levels, pH, alkalinity and hardness.
Adding a weekly tonic such as 'Shimmer' is often enough to keep your hot tub water looking crisp and sparkling.
