Q. I have looked on alot of sites and I cannot find what I am looking for. My question is what chemicals do you use in a hottub to make it sanitary? and also how do you shock a hot-tub? 10 points to whoever is the most helpful, please list all of the chemicals.
Thanks
Thanks
Answer
try these out. there are many choices for sanitizing.
Mineral Sanitizers,
chlorine,
bromine,
Ultraviolet UV Sanitizer, Sanitizes with UV rays instead of chemicals.
ionization-oxidation systems, proven to eliminate bacteria, algae, and most viruses.
Install an ozonator for cleaner water. Ozonators convert oxygen into ozone.
Shocking a spa or hot tub refers to the application of non-chlorine shock or hydrogen peroxide. The purpose is to break down the combined chlorine, organic waste and contamination. Products such as sodium dichlor and non-chlorine shock are used for this purpose, with spas utilizing chlorine, bromine, ozonation, ultraviolet treatment, mineral purifiers or ionization.
try this for the shock treatment, Oxy Spa Non-chlorine MPS spa & pool shock

hot tub question?
Patty
I am getting ready to start the hot tub up for the winter. What do I need in the form of chemicals from the start up?
Answer
First thing everytime you put new water into your hot tub or pool is you have to balance the water. First test your alaklinity. It needs to be between 80-120ppm. You cna adujst it upwards by adding Baking soda (Sodium Bicarbonate/Sodium hydrogen carbonate) next adjust the ph to 7.2-7.8. YOU want it as close as you can to 7.4-7.5. Next adjust the Calcium level to 250ppm-400ppm, by adding Calicum Carbonate (Hardness increaser). After all of th add your sanitizer, being Bromine 35 ppm, or Chlorine 1-3ppm. I hope you have a CD ozonater and perhaps a mineral stick also of copper or silver. I really like using a non-cholrine shock...MPS. Of course there's are othersanitizers like biguinde and hydrogen peroxide for a shock by Baquaspa or Bioguard. I am not a fan of them, especially if you have any kind of breathing issues.
If possible take you water to a hot tub store and have them test it. I cannot stress ths step enough since then you will have a nice computerized record 6x a year showing you have nice perfectly balanced water then when the heater goes you will be able to not let the manufacture say your heater was destroyed form improper water chemistry.
The more things you use too by the way that are not needed if your water is perfectly balanced like water clarifier, fragrances and foam dispensers will cause more peoblems by dreating more total disolved solids to be in the water there fore making it harder to balance and keep clean. Be sure to clean your filters properly with a filter cleaner. Bromine is more stable at high temperatures then chlorine.
