GNAPY Chlorine Tablets for Hot Tub, Multifunction 4-in-1Pool Cleaning Tablets for Swimming Pool Spa Hot Tub Bathtubs Instant (50G)

Product Information

With a high bather load in a small body of water, hot tubs are subjected to high levels of pollutants every time they’re used. Chlorine has a rather bad reputation. However, it is a very good disinfectant, as long as the balance of the hot tub water is well respected. It is the most powerful and cheapest treatment. Over time, the chemicals will react with the wood, causing grey-scale (where small grey flakes will come off the wood and end up in the bathing water) and ultimately decaying the structure of the wooden hot tub. Why Use Chemicals In Your Wood-Fired Hot Tub? To test your sanitiser level dip a Happy Test Strip in the spa water about 12 inches/30cm under the water level, following the instructions on the test strip container, and compare the colour to the chart on the test strip bottle. (Happy Test Strips come in handy pots of 50).

PHMB, unlike chlorine, is not an algaecide. It is not a stand-alone treatment. Thus, PHMB is often used in addition to an anti-algae treatment. However, PHMB should not be combined with other substances. Chlorine or bromine-based products, as well as copper and bronze are not compatible with PHMB and should not be mixed.Replace all of the water. This is a last resort, but if you're still struggling to get your levels in an acceptable range, you might be better off with a fresh start and new water. PHMB is an interesting treatment because it is soft and stable. It is very insensitive to temperature and pH variations. Most test strips will allow you to test for either chlorine or bromine. If your test strips are 4-way (or higher) this means they can test for both. If you only have 3-way chlorine test strips, then you will need to buy some new bromine-compatible test strips.

Impact on bathers is a consideration you will need to make when trying to decide between granules and tablets. Chlorine tablets are acidic which means when they are dissolving in your hot tub, they are influencing the PH and alkalinity levels. Poor water chemistry can cause irritation to the skin and eyes of bathers. Furthermore, if the dispenser is not removed before use and bathers tamper with the tablets, they can be harmful. While their water chemistry contains a sanitizer such as chlorine or bromine, if the level of contaminants in the water exceed the level of sanitizer, you’ll be bathing in filth. Many people enjoy the simplicity of a wood-fired hot tub in part because there is no requirement to chemically treat the water, and the use of such chemicals should not be thought of as mandatory. Indeed, the majority of wooden hot tub owners enjoy their peaceful retreat without ever using them. Many symptoms are similar. However, swimmer’s itch can also cause tingling skin and a rash that looks like small red or purple pimples.Failure to upgrade the steel, and the use of chemical treatment is guaranteed to cause premature failure of your wood-fired stove, and invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty. Chlorine tablets are fantastic at killing bacteria and making your hot tub safe. An upside of tablets is they dissolve over a period of time, meaning you have a constant supply of chlorine caring for the water. However, this has its own risks as not enough chlorine could be dissolving into the water as needed.
