Pool or spa water can begin to look murky as algae, dirt and grime that’s too small to be trapped in the filter begins to build up in the main body of water. Over time, tiny particles of dirt can make pool water look cloudy and uninviting and will eventually make your pool or spa unhygienic and unpleasant to be in.

Make sure the pH level of your water is between 7.2 and 7.6 before using the clarifier. You can use the Clearwater pH Plus and pH Minus to do this Never mix different chemicals in concentrated forms. This includes the kit products but also with other products like bleach or weedkillers – a dangerous reaction may occur.

It is important to get your hot tub Chlorine levels correct. Not enough Chlorine can result in unhygienic bathing conditions, whereas high Chlorine levels can cause irritated eyes or skin. Transforms Unhygienic Environments: By binding tiny particles in combination so your filter out can work more efficiently and take away the dust/filth Measure out the recommended amount of clarifier (as stated on the bottle) and pour directly into the pool water whilst the pump is turned on, preferably near the water inlet to aid distribution 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. If you are going away we would suggest emptying the pool and cleaning it so the water is not left to go stagnant. Do no re-fill until you return from your trip.

This TA Increaser helps raise Total Alkalinity levels, which in turn will help control pH levels and chlorine.

Algae Control

pH measures how acidic or alkaline your water is and the ideal range for hot tubs is between 7.2 and 7.6. Balanced pH is necessary for other chemicals to work properly and imbalanced pH levels can impact your hot tub components and cause skin irritation. 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). Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Have a First Aid Kit available for any accidents Dip a ClearWater® Test Strip in the centre of your Lay-Z-Spa, remove and hold it still for 15 seconds. Remove cover from pool to allow evaporation of the chemical (keep the pool filter running constantly).

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. Keep the filter turned on whilst the clarifier is working to ensure the broken down particles are filtered out For low TA levels below 80ppm you will need to use Total Alkalinity Increaser. The amount of TA + you need to add to your hot tub depends on the volume of water and how low your readings are. As a guide - a hot tub of 1,000 litres requires 18g to raise Total Alkalinity levels by 10ppm (parts per million).

Perfect Additions For Your Hot Tub

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. Not balancing the Total Alkalinity levels in your hot tub can cause a number of issues that can impact your spa experience. Chlorine demand of water too high at start up, after holidays or due to excess contamination or neglect
