Is this safe for hot tubs? Doesn't Trichlor have a very low pH that would require neutralization?

I dont know about oh or be neutralization ,, but I do know that I use it in my hot tub, and it works very well, it also seems to not disappear like other chlorine, I use a lot less.

I don't know. I will say this: I thought it worked great in my regular tub and someone recently told me to get chlorine test strips from a pool supply place - said she tested this and it did nothing. I've been using mine, thinking it removed the chlorine, etc. and now I want to test it! If it does work, great. If not, I'm going to be quite upset that I soaked extra long in the tub so often, believing I was not soaking up toxic chlorine!!!!!

This is a bit more purified as it is meant for swimming pools. It is still effective. But the best root killer is plain old rock salt. May damage the trees that have the roots in the pipes though.

It is an excellent heater for your pool. You must keep you water chemistry balanced, the heater does not like low ph.

I don't know about a specific acid, probably should visit your pool store for that, but, be careful with the tool as I followed the instructions and stained my pool surface. If I use it again I will not let the unit filled with acid sit any more than maybe 10-15 seconds at a time.

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.

I have personally found chlorinating granules to be better than bromide. I feel they do a better job. I just sprinkle a little bit in (about a teaspoon) each time we use the hot tub.

You will need to get a water sample and get the chemicals right 1st. Once in balance (Chlorine, PH, etc), Clear balance will help to keep it in Balance. We also use well water and have no problems. We've used this product for years and it works great. Hope that helps.

I used it in a 25000 gal. pool. I worked great in my pool. I'm not real sure how it would work in a hot tub. In my hot tub I throw in a tablespoon of chlorine once a week and that seems to work well. I think they have a smaller model for just hot tubs.

I'm no chemist, so here is my unscientific answer: Yes, I'm sure it's fine. You know how you have to shake up the contents, anyway...I actually leave the bottle lying on it's side, on top of my bucket of chlorine tablets, each week, so that the sediment collects itself on the large side of the bottle rather than the smaller bottom...I'm just superstitious about shaking it up so that I get the same concentration of active ingredients each week I use it. A bottle lasts so long in my small pool! Best of luck. We're year round in California so we're going strong, and no freezing either. :-)

We have a pool and a spa. I use the same testing kit on both, the Taylor K 2005, which you can buy on amazon. You will need to test your alkalinity, ph, and bromine. You will need chemicals to manipulate out of range findings, most importantly bromine and muriatic acid ( brings down your ph and alkalinity). You may also need alkalinity up. My ph is never low! I really like this bromine, it seems to last longer than the bromine you can buy at walmart.

Yes, I have used it in my hot tub for months (I don't keep it in the tub, but use it every few days to check the PH..seems to match the strips fairly well)

Sorry very hard typing on my phone. But hopefully you understand. I love my salt water setup. I don't mess with any real chemicals.

Hi, this is Steve at Aqua Products. This unit is safe to use in all pool waters including salt. Note: It's a best practice to always remove the unit after each use and rinse it when possible with fresh water. This will help prolong the life of the cleaner

This is marketed as a "no-chlorine system" this is a mis-representation of their product. You will need to use chlorine to sanitize as with any ionizer or mineral stick that puts minerals into the spa.

No. This is the reagent to test the cyanuric acid level, not cyanuric acid. What do you consider expensive? I'm looking at a 7lb bucket at pool supply world for 26 dollars. More than enough for your needs. Be careful about running your cya levels too high as higher levels weaken chlorines ability to sanitize. I have brought mine down to 20ppm and get much better sanitization. This will save you some money too. Some godd info on the web. www.lincoln.ne.gov/city/health/environ/pollu/pdf/Cyanuric.pdf

I have not used this product in this way. I seem to vaguely remember, however, that skin irritation resulting from hot tub use is usually a result of actual bacteria and a function of the warmer water used. Try reading this blurb from the CDC (http://www.cdc.gov/healthywater/swimming/rwi/illnesses/hot-tub-rash.html) and consider consulting a physician, unless you are confident that what you are experiencing is a result of chlorine exposure.
