Chemical Selection for a Newbie

<< < (2/2)

JS,

If you decide to go with chlorine I would suggest you read post on rhtubs.com from Northman and Vermonter.  They were a big help to this newbie as well.  I would suggest you spring for the Taylor's Test Kit also.  Those darn test strips were the root of my problems to begin with, things have gone much better since I got a reliable test kit.

Any way you go just be patient, stick with it for a while before you decide to switch to something else and give yourself the chance to become familiar with you water and how it reacts.  If you have a HS dealer nearby that you will be getting chemicals from take your water in to have it tested before your spa comes and he can help direct you too.

Good luck and welcome to the neighborhood.

You are best off to go with the chemical system that your dealer suggests.

After you get a feel for balancing and maintaining your water then you might want to experiment with other systems.

There is a learning curve when you first get started unless you have had previous experience with hot tub ownership.
