About this deal
Verdict: Initial measuring is easier with chlorine granules; however after a little experience with the chemical floater, multifunctional tablets also offer an easy way to keep chlorine levels consistent.
Test the water using the ClearWater Test Strips to make sure the Total Alkalinity, pH and Free Chlorine levels are balanced before using the hot tub. Material Data Safety Sheets (MSDS) are provided with each chemical product upon purchase and should be referenced with care. It is common for chlorine tablets to create a high chlorine level which can be damaging to hot tub components. Thankfully the container of 1kg Multi-Function Chlorine Tablets is clearly labelled with warnings and precautions.
It is a good idea to get into the habit of giving your Lay-Z-Spa a nice clean at least once a month. You can control the amount of chlorine released into the hot tub by adjusting the opening on your Chemical Floater or ChemConnect Dispenser so you can easily maintain a constant level of chlorine.
Chlorine granules are most convenient if you are an irregular spa user who needs to shock dose the hot tub often.If you are going away we would suggest emptying the hot tub and cleaning it so the water is not left to go stagnant.
