About this deal

Dip a ClearWater® Test Strip in the centre of your Lay‑Z‑Spa, remove and hold it still for 15 seconds. Make sure that any outdoor storage of chemicals is as far away from your hot tub as possible and in a dry, covered area. Humidity or even small amounts of water can cause chemical reactions that could lead to dangerous fumes. When you’re ready to begin mixing your chemicals, you should handle them with chemical resistant gloves. The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation. It is also advised to wear tightly sealed goggles and appropriate protective clothing such as long sleeves, trousers, and closed-toed shoes that fully protect your feet from spills.

Hot Tub Chemicals Quick Start Guide

Having the correct pH levels will ensure your eyes and skin aren’t irritated by your pool water. Most people think it’s the chlorine that causes your eyes to turn red after swimming, but it’s actually the pH level. The ideal levels are between 7.2 and 7.6. Rainwater can significantly affect your pH level, so test your water if you’ve experienced heavy storms. If you need to raise or lower the level, choose the appropriate chemical to add to the water. Calcium Hardness Clearwater® chemicals are designed for and tested on Lay-Z-Spa hot tubs but can be used on any and all home hot tubs. Chemical water treatment for hot tubs is essential regardless of how long or how often you plan to use the hot tub and this starter kit has everything you need to get started and keep up the water maintenance. In the event of spillage, clean up using clean receptacles and dispose of carefully. Do not add water to spilled materials. Do not use floor sweeping compounds to clean up spills. Sweep and scoop spilled material into clean, dedicated equipment. The Clearwater® Dip Tests are manufactured by the founders of dip testing in the USA and are the most accurate available on the market so you know you're getting an accurate reading every single time. Never mix different chemicals in concentrated forms. This includes the kit products but also with other products like bleach or weedkillers – a dangerous reaction may occur.

The hot tub and pool test strips highlight, chlorine levels, the water's pH and Total Alkalinity levels. There are three separate sections on each strip to indicate each individual level. Because pH measures how acidic or alkaline your water is, it is important to make sure your hot tub ph Levels are always balanced between 7.2 and 7.6 to avoid impacting your Lay-Z-Spa and your spa experience.

Chemical Treatment Summary

Total Alkalinity (TA) is the measure of your hot tub water’s ability to neutralise acids. Balanced Total Alkalinity helps control the pH levels and the correct level to aim for is between 80 and 120 parts per million (ppm). It is important to get your hot tub Chlorine levels correct. Not enough Chlorine can result in unhygienic bathing conditions, whereas high Chlorine levels can cause irritated eyes or skin. This TA Increaser helps raise Total Alkalinity levels, which in turn will help control pH levels and chlorine.

Remove the cover from Lay-Z-Spa to allow evaporation of the chlorine (keep the filter running constantly). If you are going away we would suggest emptying the hot tub and cleaning it so the water is not left to go stagnant. Do not re-fill until you return from your trip. You should expect to test your pool water at least once a week. If you experience heavy rainfall or the pool is getting used by a lot of people, you’ll want to test the water more often. At least you won’t have to test the water as much as public swimming pools – most are required to do it every hour! Fresh Strips pH measures how acidic or alkaline your water is and the ideal range for hot tubs is between 7.2 and 7.6. Balanced pH is necessary for other chemicals to work properly and imbalanced pH levels can impact your hot tub components and cause skin irritation. For low TA levels below 80ppm you will need to use Total Alkalinity Increaser. The amount of TA + you need to add to your hot tub depends on the volume of water and how low your readings are. As a guide - a hot tub of 1,000 litres requires 18g to raise Total Alkalinity levels by 10ppm (parts per million).Chlorine demand of water too high at start up, after holidays or due to excess contamination or neglect Drain hot tub to the minimum mark and re-fill with fresh water to the maximum mark, this will help to dilute the excess chlorine. If you are going away we would suggest emptying the pool and cleaning it so the water is not left to go stagnant. Do no re-fill until you return from your trip. Chlorine is a sanitiser that controls and prevents bacteria growth and is essential for the hot tub water to be clean and safe to use. The recommended Free Chlorine* level in a hot tub is 3-5ppm (parts per million).

Dissolve the quantity of Chlorine Granules in a jug of warm water and pour into your hot tub. Activate the AirJets for a few minutes to circulate the chemicals evenly throughout the water. Never use unlabelled chemicals and please read the instructions before use. Avoid getting chemicals in eyes, on skin or on clothing. Avoid breathing vapours when opening a container. Avoid creation of dust. Never add water to the product. Always add product to large quantities of water. Use separate clean dry utensils for each chemical and clean after use. Do not add the product to any dispensing device containing residuals of other products.
