Do you still have to treat the hot tub as usual with chlorine or bromine on a daily basis or just use the tablets? Regards Steve

Yes. It still clorine. Hot just kills the germs. The pills neutralize the clorine

I use Bromine in a floater because I don't like Chlorine or salt. Yes, you can use a salt watersystem. Remember to drain and clean pool and system completely if you change from onesystem to another.

We had a 12' round pool and used one tablet weekly. I would assume for a pool that size you would put in two tablets and may need to up the frequency some. I think the bottle has recommended doses for each popular pool size

We use it so we don't have to use as much chlorine. There are times where we do add a little chlorine, but the spa is not maintained on chlorine all the time. Hope this helps.

I have for years. Never had a problem. I do notice that when the water is warm, it seems the chlorine level is higher. I'm guessing that warm water releases the chlorine from the tablets in the floater faster. When you take the cover off and the water is exposed to the sun, chlorine seems to dissipate from the water fast.

Yes it is, our tub was given to us and the previous owners used Baqua-Spa we should have used the Citri-Clean twice right off the bat but I didn't to save money, instead we had stuff floating around that would release from the hoses. Live and learn and the owner told me to do it twice too. ENJOY

Only need to use chlorine tablets in floating basket. No other chemical are needed beyond the initial shock and occasional muratic acid.

I have personally found chlorinating granules to be better than bromide. I feel they do a better job. I just sprinkle a little bit in (about a teaspoon) each time we use the hot tub.

I personally use the 3" tablets, although I have used the pellets as well and it has worked great as long as it is ran at least once daily. If it sits unused too long the diluted chlorine will form a sort mud and can clog the little output pipes inside the unit. What I do is take all tables out and run it empty for about 30 minutes to purge it out before going on vacation.WARNING: When you open the lid keep your face away from the opening as you remove the lid....I learned it the hard way, my eyes burned for about 30 minutes and I had the taste of Chlorine in my mouth for about an hour, not to mention the initial discomfort of breathing the fumes !!!Good luck and enjoy....Another pool owner I personally use the 3" tablets, although I have used the pellets as well and it has worked great as long as it is ran at least once daily.

I live in San Antonio and the people at the pool and spa supply store told me not to worry about alkalinity just the ph up and down. So i dont use alkalinity chemicals . As for the other two they told me to dilute before putting into tub because they might be harsh on the tub. I use the foam down and the bromine tablets also. Leisure time is recommended by the store as well. Also, wait about 15 minutes between chemicals

I have only had this tub for about a week. It's been filled with water for that time, with NO chemicals. I assumed that it was something to do with being filled for the first time and just needed a rinse out. So hopefully that (along with chlorine) will solve it.

John, we have a rather large hot tub and use about one scoop when required. However, it depends on how often you check the spa itself - I do it weekly and add accordingly. This lasts a long time and have been using it for years. Hope this helps.

Yes, now and then. When I top off the water (when water needs to be added to the spa) we add a bit of chlorine just to make sure the added water is clear (because it is well or creek water). And then we wait until the chlorine is dissipated before the enzymes. The other time we use it is after six cycles of enzymes, after the cirri-clean cleaning and we drain the tub and refill...we add chlorine to the new water, wait until it registers totally dissipated...and then the new bottle of enzymes is added.

Get yourself some chlorine and PH test strips or test drops and check it to see what the chlorine level is. I use about two tablespoons a day with a 550 gallon hot tub. But that varies with use.

If your skin is irritated due to chlorine, this is the product for you! Completely removes it, as well as the smell. Double check your hot tub chemicals to make sure all are balanced. Then use SwimSpray to soothe your skin

i usually use chlorine tabs in a floating dispenser. I don't know anything about salt water pools.

I always use warm/hot water (but warm enough to touch) & stir a bit so salt can dissolve. Then I use it. And I do use regular salt without the iodine.
