Best online pricing for hot tub chemicals?
Levelheadsteve:
Thank you very much. I ordered my tub with an ozonator. Is there a big difference then in the amount of dichlor to use?
chem geek:
Yes there is. With an ozonator, you use roughly half the rule-of-thumb dose after each soak, but you need to add roughly twice as much chlorine during the days in between soaks. This estimate depends a lot on the strength and on-time of the ozonator so the real rule is to add whatever amount of chlorine after a soak so that you still have a residual 24 hours later and then to add enough chlorine every day or two to maintain a residual.
So an ozonator is a great thing if you are using the spa every day or two since ozone oxidizes bather waste so you use/need less chlorine (or any other oxidizer) for that purpose. However, ozone also reacts with (uses up) chlorine so when there is no bather load you need to add more chlorine to maintain a background level. So if you aren't using the spa every day or two, it's more work to maintain when using chlorine with an ozonator. In that situation, a method such as Nature2 with MPS works better or bromine works better since ozone makes more bromine from a bromide bank.

I found a place in Northern CA called Leslie's Pool Supplies. The brand of Chlorinated Granules that they sell is called Chlor Brite Quick Dissolving Chlorinating Granules and it's 99% Dichlor. You can buy 1lb bags for $5.29 so 5lbs equals $26.45. Seems like a good deal.
You can also buy a 12lb box for $57.96 which comes out to $4.83lb. And then they sell 25lb tubs and it's gets even cheaper by the pound at that size.
I have some Spa Choice Chlorine Granules coming from the Spa Depot that was $29.95 for 5lbs plus $3.95 shipping. I'm going to give the Chlor Brite Chlorine a try when I run through my current shipment of Spa Choice.
Thanks.
