Chlorine Granules - Disinfection
To protect your health, ensure that your spa water is disinfected thoroughly on a regular basis. This is
particularly important in spas, as the high water temperatures provide an ideal breeding ground for bacteria.
To prevent water problems, there must always be sufficient levels of disinfectant in the water.
The use of Chlorine granules is the traditional method of disinfecting spas. Chlorine granules dissolve quickly,
without residues, and do not bleach the surfaces. The granules are pH-neutral, i.e. the pH value of the water
does not change with the dosing of the granules.
Check the pH value using the 3 function test strips at least once a week, and, if necessary, adjust it to 7.2
– 7.6. Add 10 g/m³ of Chlorine granules after each bathing session. Let the circulation pump run for 10
minutes, and then check afterwards using 3 function test strips that the ideal value of 1.0 – 1.5 ppm (mg/L).
is reached. If necessary, continue to dose. The granules are dosed directly into hot tub water.

pH Up and pH Down
The pH value is the basis for reliable disinfection. The care products only work perfectly when the levels are
correct, meaning the water is not harmful to skin, hair or eyes. The ideal pH value is between 7.2 and 7.6.
The pH value is influenced by various factors. For example it increases when fresh water is added. Increasing
the water temperature or using the jets changes the pH value. Therefore, check the value at least once a
week and, if necessary, increase the levels using pH Up or decrease with pH Down. The granules are dosed
directly into the spa water.
Foam Free
If your spa water has a tendency to
foam, then we recommend you add
Foam Free. The product is added
directly to the spa water. If the water
continues to foam, even after the
product has been added, replace the
water.
Chlorine and pH should be
checked EVERY TIME the spa is
used to ensure that the water is
safe to use!

and how much.
Test Strips
Canadian Spa 3 Way Test strips to check the
levels of Chlorine, PH and Total Alkalinity. Simple
and easy to use. Ensure your spa is always safe
to use. Pack of 50 strips. Dip a test strip into
the water and compare to the colour chart to
take readings for: - Chlorine, pH, Total Alkalinity.
