Product Information

Unfortunately this question doesn't have one simple answer and it depends on lots of factors likewater flow, usage and hot tub size. The water treatment tablets should be used with a Bestway 5in Chemical Floater or dispenser such as ChemConnect which slowly releases them into the water to keep it consistently clean. Tablets offer a good solution for those who don't use a hot tub for period as they ensure chlorine is dispensed slowly over time. Clearwater® Multi-Function Chlorine Tablets are an incredibly simple way to maintain clear and hygienic hot tub water.

Total Alkalinity and pH work hand‑in‑hand and if these two are not balanced the sanitizer (chlorine) will not work properly. These multi-function chlorine tablets are designed for use with floating dispensers or the Lay-Z-Spa® ChemConnect.Chlorine tablets (Trichlor) are acidic which means PH and Alkalinity will reduce when using this product.

Thankfully the container of 1kg Multi-Function Chlorine Tablets is clearly labelled with warnings and precautions. Verdict: Whilst multifunction tablets have a slightly higher cost, they contain a combination of three chemicals so you make an overall saving if you require more than just chlorine for your spa water.If your chlorine, alkalinity or pH levels are not correct, please refer to our chemical How To guides below. Not balancing the Total Alkalinity levels in your hot tub can cause a number of issues that can impact your spa experience. On the flip sidemany acrylic hot tub manufacturers do not recommend chlorine tablets for reasons thatwe will outline below. Please note: Allow at least 2 hours between adding each chemical type and only use the hot tub once Total Alkalinity, pH and chlorine are within the required ranges.

As they release chlorine relatively slowly it may be necessary to shock dose or oxidise prior to their use to first establish some chlorine more rapidly. Small 20g chlorine tablets will dissolve slowly over a period of 3-7 days depending on water flow, water temperature and hot tub usage. Even if you’re handling the same type of chemical, mixing a new batch of a chemical with a leftover batch of the same chemical can lead to a reaction from the older residue, or create fumes. Blue Horizons Multi-Functional Stabilised Chlorine Tablets are an enhanced version of regular Chlorine Tablets as they are stabilised to minimise chlorine loss to sunlight and also contain a C larifier and A lgaecide for sparkling clear water. It will also help to extend the time until you have to replace the water (assuming you keep up with regular chemical maintenance).When you’re ready to begin mixing your chemicals, you should handle them with chemical resistant gloves. To ensure safe use of your pool, maintain a free chlorine level of between 1-3ppm and a pH level between 7.

The amount of TA + you need to add to your hot tub depends on the volume of water and how low your readings are. Alternatively keep the dispenser aperture constant and vary the tablets inside to achieve 1-3 mg/l (ppm). If you only require chlorine then the granules offer a slightly cheaper alternative when purchased in bulk. Verdict: Multifunction tablets are a great hassle-free solution for regular hot tub users, however, if you often find yourself shock dosing your spa then chlorine granules may be more convenient. If you are unsure of the correct amount, you can add chlorine little by little until you reach perfection.Monitor your first batch to ensure you know the dissolving time in your hot tubfor future reference. These Blue Horizons Stabilised Multi-Functional Chlorine Tablets contain a C larifier and A lgaecide and they are designed to slowly erode over a period of 3 - 4 days, depending on the water flowing over them. Clearwater pH Minus , also known as ‘pH reducer’ is the most simple and effective way to decrease the pH of your spa water when it has surpassed the recommended level.
