FAQs

Which hot tub sanitiser is right for me?

A sanitiser is a chemical which is used to kill bacteria in your spa water.

There are three types of sanitiser –

• Chlorine – this is the most popular choice as it’s fast acting at killing bacteria. Check out our chlorine hot tub maintenance guide to learn more.
• Bromine – this is ideal for people with sensitive skin. Find out more about maintaining you hot tub using bromine in our guide.
• Oxygen – this is a mild mineral solution, which is also great for people with sensitive skin. Learn more in our oxygen maintenance guide.

How soon can I use my hot tub after adding chemicals?

Once you’ve added chemicals to your hot tub, we advise that you wait for at least 20 to 30 minutes before testing the water again. If the levels are balanced, you can take a dip.

If levels are showing as too high or too low, it could take up to 24 hours for the balance to adjust. Be sure to test the water each time and refer to the chemical’s instructions for use.

How often should I test my hot tub water?

We recommend you test your hot tub water daily whether your spa is in use or not.

What should hot tub water be tested for?

Test your hot tub’s water for sanitiser levels – whether that’s chlorine, bromine or oxygen – along with pH and total alkalinity. This then allows you to make any chemical adjustments that may be required.
