As warm water attracts more bacterial growth than cold water, you need to ensure the water in your Hot Tub is sanitised on a regular basis to avoid build-up of dirt and mould.

It needs to be sanitised on a regular basis using Jacuzzi® Bromine Granules or Jacuzzi® Chlorine Granules. If you don’t regularly sanitise your Hot Tub water, the quality will quickly deteriorate. This will result in bacterial growth, cloudy water and even white mould. These problems can be time-consuming to rectify and, in some cases, you will need to completely drain the Hot Tub and replace it with clean water.

We also recommend using Jacuzzi® Bromine Tablets and Jacuzzi® Chlorine Tablets with a floating dispenser. This will ensure that your Jacuzzi® Hot Tub is continually being dosed with sanitiser. This is a slow release process and will need supplementing with granules. The aim is to maintain 3-5ppm of sanitiser in your Jacuzzi® Hot Tub.   

There are two ways of using Jacuzzi® Bromine or Jacuzzi® Chlorine to clean your water:

1. You can sprinkle the granulated form of sanitiser into your Hot Tub until the water reaches the acceptable level for bathing, typically between 3-5ppm. The amount of granules you need to use will depend on how many people have been using the Hot Tub, how long for and how much organic matter is present within the Spa.
2. You can use Jacuzzi® Bromine Tablets or Jacuzzi® Chlorine Tablets. You simply add a tablet to the dispenser and the tablet will slowly release the sanitiser into the water. This will clean the water and leave it looking crystal clear. As it’s a slow release of sanitiser, you may need to supplement with granules if the sanitiser levels are showing as low on the test strips.

We recommend testing the Hot Tub water before you enter to ensure the water is safe. Follow up with a test on exit to approximate the amount of sanitiser that was used in that session, and the replace it if required to maintain acceptable bathing levels of 3-5ppm.

Our Jacuzzi® Hot Tub chemical experts believe it’s vital to test your water every day with one of the Hot Tub test strips. This keeps your water quality at an optimum level, regardless of how often you use your Hot Tub.
