Jacuzzi® Chlorinating Granules are a stabilized chlorine product specifically formulated for hot tubs and spas. These granules serve as a quick dissolving oxidation treatment, promoting water clarity by eliminating odors and organic waste such as body oils and cosmetic products. They are versatile, suitable for both regular daily chlorination and super chlorination, ensuring a clean and hygienic spa environment.
Necessity for Hot Tub Care & Personal Health
Regular use of Jacuzzi® Chlorinating Granules is essential for several reasons:
Sanitation:
Chlorine is a potent disinfectant that effectively kills bacteria, viruses, and algae, preventing waterborne illnesses and ensuring safe bathing conditions.
Water Clarity:
By oxidizing organic contaminants, these granules maintain clear water, enhancing the overall aesthetic and experience of the hot tub.
Odour Control:
Effective chlorination eliminates unpleasant odours caused by organic waste, ensuring a more enjoyable spa experience.
Dosage & Frequency
The appropriate amount of Jacuzzi® Chlorinating Granules to use depends on the volume of your hot tub.
Regular Maintenance:
Add 2 grams of granules per 1,000 liters of water to increase the free chlorine level by 1 ppm. Aim to maintain a consistent chlorine level between 3 to 5 mg/l. The frequency of adding chlorine depends on your usage patterns and bathing habits, whether it's a daily, bi-daily, or weekly routine.
Super Chlorination:
Periodically, it is advisable to super chlorinate (shock) the hot tub to control odours and algae. To super chlorinate, add 1 oz of this product for every 500 gallons (approximately 1,892 liters) of water.
Application Steps
Water Testing:
Use test strips to measure the pH and alkalinity levels, ensuring the pH is between 7.2 and 7.8.
Addition of Granules:
Measure the required amount of granules based on your hot tub's volume and sprinkle them evenly over the water surface with the circulation system running to ensure even distribution.
Circulation:
Allow the water to circulate for at least 20 minutes to ensure thorough mixing of the chlorine.
Re-testing:
After circulation, re-test the chlorine levels to ensure they are within the recommended range before using the hot tub.
Safety Precautions
Protective Gear:
Wear gloves and eye protection when handling Jacuzzi® Chlorinating Granules chemicals.
Ventilation:
Ensure the area is well ventilated during the shock treatment to avoid inhaling fumes.
Storage:
Store Jacuzzi® Chlorinating Granules products in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
By adhering to these hot tub maintenance guidelines and incorporating regular shock treatments into your hot tub maintenance routine, you can ensure a clean, safe, and enjoyable spa experience every time.
