Add algae concentrate or copper chelate solution to the water, depending on the needs of your pool. Clearwater Multifunction Tablets are an effective and hassle-free way of maintaining clear and healthy spa water. They contain a combination of chemicals that act in a number of ways. These slow-release tablets contain chlorine, algaecide and water clarifier. The chemical dispenser slowly releases the mini-tablets into the water, making this a completely hassle-free way of treating your water even for the user with a busy schedule. Not balancing the Total Alkalinity levels in your hot tub can cause a number of issues that can impact your spa experience.

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.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). Drain pool to minimum mark and re-fill with fresh water to maximum mark, this will help to dilute the excess chemical. 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.

Every attempt should be made to avoid mixing spilled material with other chemicals or debris when cleaning up. Do not attempt to reseal any contaminated drums. Do not transport wet or damp material. This TA Increaser helps raise Total Alkalinity levels, which in turn will help control pH levels and chlorine. We have a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return. Clearwater Clarifier contains flocculants which bind small particles of debris and algae together so that your Lay-Z-Spa filtration system can adequately remove them, resulting in clean and sparkly water. This is a very effective way of preventing your spa water from looking dull and cloudy, due to the build-up of dead algae and debris that is too small to be trapped by your filter. Even if you have treated your spa for algae using Clearwater Algaecide, it is recommended that you use the Water Clarifier to remove any residual debris.Outdoor storage areas for your hot tub chemicals should be situated away from anything flammable. Keep any petrol-powered equipment, like your lawnmower, in a different location. The storage area should also be away from sources of heat, like an outdoor fire pit or BBQ. After testing the PH with your dip test strips you can use the following chemicals to increase or decrease the PH. ClearWater® is our chosen and recommended chemical provider. Developed with Lay-Z-Spa in mind, the range of ClearWater® hot tub chemicals includes everything needed to make sure your Lay-Z-Spa's water stays safe, clean and clear. Explore the table below which includes each product’s use and function. Clearwater pH Plus , also known as ‘pH increaser’ is the best way to increase pH levels that have dropped below the recommended level. To avoid skin discomforts and enable the chlorine in your spa to work effectively, it’s vital that acidity is monitored and controlled. The recommended pH balance of spa water is between 7.2 and 7.6.

The different colors of algae in your pool are signs that may be a reason to use an algaecide. 💚 Green algae Remove the cover from Lay-Z-Spa to allow evaporation of the chlorine (keep the filter running constantly). Clear Water Scrubbers are an external design that needs to be mounted higher than the sump of your tank for the drain to flow into or higher than the full water level of your sump with an in-sump stand. The feed for the scrubber can be done with a stand alone feed pump (we recommend a Sicce SDC 3.0) or manifold plumbed into the included ½” or 3/8” barb fitting. Water will then flow into the tray and down the algae screen that is blasted with a proprietary design of red/blue LED lights. Water will then drain into your sump thru the 1” bottom drain installed in the scrubber. To accurately determine the correct flow for the scrubber, the tray should be full of water but not so much that it is overflowing over the sides. Overflowing over the sides will increase the sound coming from the scrubber.

Chemical Treatment Summary

Please note: The table is only applicable to Clearwater® Chemicals. Dosages are only approximate and the effect of chemicals on your water can vary each time you use them, depending on the exact amount of water in your hot tub, water type, water temperature, positioning of hot tub etc. Therefore it is essential to test the water every time before you use it.

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. 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. You should also wash your hands after handling chemicals. Mount the scrubber over the sump or above it elsewhere with either an in-sump stand, wall mount stand or whatever you want to use to hold the unit. It will need to be above the full line of your sump as the lamps cannot be submerged. They are splash proof and not 100% waterproof. Need it in a hurry? We are also able to offer before 12 noon and Saturday delivery services. See here for information on these services For high chlorine levels above 5ppm, we would suggest you drain the Lay-Z-Spa to the minimum mark and re-fill with fresh water to the maximum mark, this will help to dilute the excess chemical. Or, remove the cover from the hot tub to allow evaporation of the chemical (keep the spa filter running constantly).Adjust your pool pH and keep a close eye on chlorination levels. Remember: safe chlorine levels range between 1 and 3 parts per million. If the concentration is above 6 ppm, the pool is unsafe.
