Title: softub
Post by: NC Softub on July 05, 2010, 10:33:33 pm

I own a soft tub- and am generally happy with it. There are no distributors in my area- so I have to mail order all supplies.  Currently I use a product called sof-chlor.   Is there any alternative products that I can purchase at a regular pool store that would be safe for use in a softub?  If so how would I use them...i.e. amount and frequency.   Thank you.

Having handled SofTub in the past, and witnessing how consumers care for them, I would strongly recommend "SofTub chemicals" ONLY.  They are buffered for the vinyl liner.  Regular chemicals can and will do damage to the vinyl skin, which can be replaced by a "new" vinyl skin for close to a $1,000.  The cost of potential damage far exceeds the savings of any "sale priced" chemicals that could do some serious damage to your tub.
