Are the chlorinating granules the same for a hot tub and a pool?

I have a hot tub and it seems you can not find the chlorinating suppiles as well as the other supplies needed in larger amounts so it seems I am always runng out,I was thinking if the supplies are the same I would just purchase lhe larger supplies provided for pool use to use in my HT.


Answer
As far as I know they are the same. Just make sure you use right amount. As long as they don't say NOT FOR SPA USE. I buy one inch chlorine tablets for my spa from the pool supply section of the store.
Pool chemicals are also a lot cheaper. The pH levelers and such may be different because of the water temp. Just check ingredients on anything you want to switch.
If the spa is under warranty, they may not cover repairs if you don't use specific chemicals. So you may want to check into that also.

I want to buy a hot tub for my arthritis and exercise (water resistance) but am not sure which one to buy?

I have signed a contract to purchase a Catalina swim spa for $21,000.00 but am not sure I want it now. It's 8x 15 x 5 ft tall. I have no place to put it and am not sure I can or even want to crawl in and out of something 5 ft tall every day. I want a hot tub or something similar for my arthritis and water resistance exercise. I live in OKC and am 55 yrs. old. Any suggestions on the brand hot tub, swim spa or other?


Answer
I do not recommend Catalina Spas. The reason is their warranty is awful. One year for labor, Then this crazy 7 year prorated warranty kicks in that covers most everything for 3 years then you get hit for 50%. So your 5hp pumps are going to cost you 300 bucks a piece. Whew! Swimming is great for arth. and warm water. Perhaps look at a Coast Spa Wellness model spa. It's not a swim spa. For swim spas perhaps a Cal Spa with a combo hot tub. Be sure to look at the warranty on all of them. No prorated crap, since there's no reason to make the dealer richer. A decent cheap swim spa I have worked on was ALPS. Good components, Balboa waterway pumps. Bad warranty but the price makes up for it.

By the way...get yur Doctor to write a scrip for it! Tax dedut. then!!!
