Your spa or hot tub is an investment is relaxation. Follow these simple steps to ensure your spa is maintained properly.

Chlorine

If you prefer to use chlorine, add Just For Spas Chlorinating Concentrate per label direction. Do not add all needed product at once, repeat additions every 15-20 minutes until a 3-5 ppm chlorine residual is established. Use water test strips or an Aquatech test kit to check sanitizer level.
