I have a 4 person soft side hot tub. Can I use only this product and no other chemicals to keep it clean and safe?

gotta love how the one person said no but you should use chlorine granuals. um ya that's chemicals. I use this with the nature2 spa stick ( alternative to chlorine / bromine chemicals)

You use this after every use. You will still need Dichlor for shocking and chemicals to keep the PH in range. Save your money you can use baking soda to raise Ph.

No you'll need many ph adjuster. Clarifier. And nature 2 silver cartridge. Chlorine granules. Oxidizer is most frequent though.

In addition to the oxy-spa in your hot tub you need copper (Cleanwater Blue). This is environmentally friendly and it works.Go to www.spadepot.com and take a look at sanitizer for hot tubs. You also have other environmentally friendly choices.The website will explain all you need to know to keep your hot tub clean. But you don't need anything else except the testingstrips unless you do have a problem with your water.

One of the comments I read said it was nontoxic & that the best way to do it in the tub is with your feet & a sponge! Well that's what finally made it cleannnn for me & my feet are none the worst for the wear plus I do it in the shower so its only a few minutes & really only once a month!

I like to mix a pound in a one gallon jug of water for convenience. Before I add it to my hot tub I give the jug a shake. Our water is very soft. I use Calcium Hypochlorite (to shock and treat) until the hardness comes into the proper range, then I switch to Sodium Hypochlorite (Bleach). I have an acrylic hot tub so calcium is not a serious issue.

Microfiber with just water is a proven disinfectant system. You don't need to use any cleaner additive if residue is a concern.

Yes it is great for hot tubs. I have had mine for nearly two months, stuck it on the hot tub and it is still there with no discoloration or odor like others I have tried. It also more maleable and feels softer than others I have tried too. I've been meaning to buy more for the other seats in our hot tub.

The best thing to use is a Saltron Mini saltwater system for spas. You NEVER have to add chemicals and the water stays crystal clear for months. I added a saltwater system to my Intex 15' x 48" pool and it has also been maintenance free for 4 years now! Saltwater is the best way to go! It is not salty like the ocean, but like a water softener system in your home. As salty as tears. I added 8 cups of Morton's pool salt and the salt remains there until you drain the spa. It can remain set up all year without adding any chemicals! Read Saltron Mini reviews.

Here is what I have learned: clean tub as frequently as possible so the oils and chemicals from body washes, scrubs, shampoos, etc don't break it down and wear it out. Also don't scrub too hard because that will wear it down too. But I agree... GREAT PRODUCT!

Sounds expensive and the tub is so small, you'd have to get a lot of it.... Otherwise it's a great product.... Could be slippery. Good luck.

I would not delute the product with water. I would use it straight and keep it moist with towels for atleast a few hours. I love this product I have used it on car seats a brand new select comfort bed and a whole host of wet floor spots. Never on a hard surface though

This product has been installed since July 2012 and there does not appear to be any loss of material. There are 5 people in our home who use the tub daily.

In the user instructions I believe it is recommended you DO NOT. The extra chemicals shorten the life of heating element used to create the steam. Keep a little additional cleaner in a spray bottle and apply it directly to the floor if you wish.

I think to answer your question more fully...bromine is what they use in hot tubs because it is easier on the skin and has less odor than chlorine. I believe that it simply chemically breaks down into other compounds and dissipates, but you'd have to do further research and be a chemist to fully understand. Hope this helps.

Negative... clean your whole tub then rinse it out when completed. This is assuming of course that you don't have a whole beachful of sand in your tub.

Yes. I alternate this product with chlorine. Bromine doesn't seem to work as effectively in my hot tub. As a long time hot tub owner, I have noticed the actual tub accepting or rejecting certain chemical combinations at different times during ownership. I use an oxy product like this (I bought this specific brand because it was easy through Amazon), the Nature 2 cartridge, and occasional chlorine in my 2001 Vanguard Hot Springs tub. I do have an ozonator and I installed a UV in-line sterilization system using a standard Pondmaster UV filtration light. If you have any other question just ask. - Kris

Yes, I think that it can. I have a ThermaSpa hot tub and it replaced their chemicals just fine. This chemical makes my spa water very clear and I love it. I would recommend this product to anyone.

It isn't the only thing you need, however you will use the Bromine a lot more than you will use anything else. When I did all the work on our hot tub, that was pretty much all I ever used and the balance was usually spot on. My husband is a tad more "strict" about things so he uses other chemicals I never really had to use. He changes the water every 3 months or so though. Good buy on the Bromide though. You'll definitely get your money's worth. Scale defense is another one that might be used more often. Rarely did I use chlorine. Hope this helps.

John, we have a rather large hot tub and use about one scoop when required. However, it depends on how often you check the spa itself - I do it weekly and add accordingly. This lasts a long time and have been using it for years. Hope this helps.
