Assemble Your Chemical Starter Kit
Proper water care is key to the enjoyment and longevity of your hot tub. With this in mind, we highly recommend the use of granulated sodium di-chlor (Granular Chlorine) and highly advise against the use of bromine in your tub. We have included our suggested chemical starter kit down below. Please note these are our recommendations. Your hot tub may require a slightly different care regimen. For further chemical questions and to identify the best products for your hot tub, be sure to reach out to your local dealer!
| Product | Recommended Amount | Typical Quantity/Package |
|---|---|---|
| Granulated Chlorine | 1 bottle | Usually 2 lbs. |
| Spa pH Up | 1 bottle | Usually 16 oz |
