Spa Chemicals Home and Commercial Use
A homeowner getting a pool or a hot tub added to their home is a great way to provide both recreation and relaxation in leisure times. However, adding one of these items to the home will produce a few upkeep endeavors that a person may not have foreseen. Spa chemicals are responsible for keeping the walls and water found in these areas clean and sanitary to use.
Water found in any sized pool will need to be treated for sanitation because the water is not readily replaced. this means that each time a person bathes in the tub or pool, bacteria and other viruses find their way into the water and will remain there. this can cause the spread of illnesses and is why keeping the water filtered and treated is paramount to the health of the pool and its bathers.
Chlorine based sanitizers are one of the most widely used chemicals for swimming pool upkeep and has been for a long time. Anyone who has ever swum in a public pool knows chlorine just based solely on its pungent odor. However, chlorine based treatments work well to kill any bacteria causing diseases in water. One drawback of using this material though is that pH levels must be consistently tested.
While chlorine is the most widely used cleaner, it is not the only product that can get the job done available to people. Bromine and other non-chlorine based cleaners are also available and proven to work well to keep these pools sanitary. both Leisure spa chemicals and EZ Spa are two companies that produce these alternative chemical compounds for cleaning bathing water.
Upkeep on a pool, spa, or hot tub is of the utmost importance to both the health of anyone who goes in the water and of the tub itself. Chlorine and bromine compounds are two of the most widely used spa chemicals to serve this end on the market. use a method of keeping pool sanitary to provide the maximum enjoyment out of these relaxation areas.

They seem to be similar and much cheaper than the one's labeled for spa's only.
I would. My spa's part of the pool, and gunite, so I don't worry about it. The biggest issue is not to use too much chemical. take a water sample to a reputable pool or spa store and they will analyze the water for free and tell you what you need to balance the chemicals.
NO it isn't. The pool chlorine shock treatment will interact with the bromine. The two each negate the other and this makes them not work right. you need chlorine free shock treatment. I found this out the hard way when the hot tub at the house I just moved into kept getting cloudier and cloudier. when we questioned the guy at the spa place he told us that you need chlorine free shock treatment. He said we were causing the cloudiness because of the interaction between the bromine and the chlorine. Also besides bromine and the chlorine free shock treatment you also will need rust and scale remover as well as chemicals to raise and lower the PH. you can get a test kit, and test the water yourself, but don't use a pool test kit because they don't measure bromine.
Sure can they are all the same!
Is it ok to use pool chemicals in a or hot tub or spa?

I changed the water in my hot tub @ 3 weeks ago. I have used the right chemicals and have had my water tested but it is still very cloudy. I do not know why it is cloudy and the people at the pool and spa place don't know either. The only thing that I can say is different than normal is we have put my baby in and she was wearing one of those little swimmer diapers. would that cause it? I am willing to change the water again but not if it will not work.
The swimmer diaper may have an agent in it to collect / absorb water / urine? Or, the chemical content is too high.
Make shure your ph and alkalinity is perfect.make shure your filters are clean,if they are a year old get new ones. did you use a spa cleaner when you drained? use spa perfect to break up all the really fine particals that the filters cant get. Add tons of chlorine granuals to see if that might help. I tried to follow the pool and spa place manuals,but you really need to go by YOUR sight and smell. If you think it needs more chlorine then put it in. I tried to follow their guidlines and ended up with green swampwater.
no.it will not work keep others out of your hot tub ok.every one except your baby and you.
Clear hot tub water?
