Bromine Test Strips
Using a simple color-match system, the included test strips instantly measure the bromine levels in your hot tub.
Brominating Tabs
Bromine is ideal for smaller bodies of water and is a germ-fighting chemical that helps keep your hot tub free of bacteria, even at high temperatures. Because bromine remains stable and effective in warm water, it provides continuous protection when maintained at the proper level through regular testing and adjustment.
pH Plus
The pH level of your hot tub should be kept between 7.2-7.8. If it is lower than that, adding pH Plus will return it to the ideal level.
pH Minus
The pH level of your hot tub should be kept between 7.2-7.8. If it is higher than that, adding pH Minus will return it to the ideal level.
Scum Destroyer
When a ring of scum inevitably appears around the wall of your hot tub, it’s time to use this solution. It will dissolve the substances and make it easier for the filter pump to catch and eliminate them from the water.
If you follow these steps and still feel like your water isn't at the quality it should be, you may need to drain your hot tub and start fresh. Learn how often you should be changing your inflatable hot tub water to maintain optimal chemical balance.
When it's time for a basic cleaning or deep cleaning for your portable hot tub, follow these simple steps to have it sparkling again.
