Product Information

The most popular options are chlorine and bromine tablets, with chlorine being the most commonly used thanks to its low cost. When it comes to sanitising your hot tub with chlorine there are two ways to do so; using chlorine tablets or chlorine granules. Chlorine granules can be poured straight into your hot tub’s water whereas chlorine tablets need to float in a dispenser or feeder. If you have a large spa, you will likely need to increase the dose, but start cautiously because you can't easily remove bromide once the tablets have already dissolved in the water. How long should bromine tablets take to dissolve? With hot tubs, cleanliness is king, and this should be your number one priority so that people don’t fall seriously ill after going in the water.

The type on the left is cheaper and more common, but also less sophisticated. The top has an opening and the bromine tablets are placed inside. You twist the bottom to try to limit how much water can get inside, but it's not the most accurate mechanism in my experience. If you do use a bromine floater, it's fine to take it out while you're using the spa if you find it gets in the way. How many bromine tablets should you put in your spa? It has a 55% concentration of chlorine and is stabilized (contains CYA), giving it some extra life in your hot tub.

In addition, bromine has less odour than chlorine and does not produce any by-products (unlike chlorine, which produces chloramines, responsible for “chlorine odours” and eye and skin irritation). Bromine is therefore very suitable for hot tub treatment. It should be noted that it is a little more expensive than chlorine. 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.

Every attempt should be made to avoid mixing spilled material with other chemicals or debris when cleaning up. Do not attempt to reseal any contaminated drums. Do not transport wet or damp material. Be careful though, chlorine is sensitive to high temperatures. It is much less effective above 28C. It is therefore not the most appropriate treatment for hot tubs. Place it somewhere it won’t get damaged if you accidentally spill chlorine. Turn off the pump so there’s no water coming through the jets and the water is still. Step 2. Balance The Water If this is the first time or a pool you don’t know, remember that there are no stupid or unnecessary questions. It is better to find out and ask when you are not sure what you are doing, whether it is at a specialist store, a forum or a friend. You will save time, money and frustration with the condition of your pool water. Treating your hot tub with chlorine

This post looks at the considerations involved when deciding whether to use chemicals in a wooden hot tub, to ultimately answer the question: “ Can I use chemicals in a wooden hot tub?”.

To avoid scale build-up (which can impact water quality and pump components) use a weekly dose of ClearWater Scale & Stain Controller. Tablets offer a good solution for those who don't use a hot tub for period as they ensure chlorine is dispensed slowly over time. Caution - see below pointon how this can be misused.Bromine is more stable, which means the levels stay more consistent, so it lasts longer and doesn't need topping up as often as chlorine
