Clear water Hot Tub, Pool and Spa Test Strips x 50-3 in 1 - Measures Chlorine, PH and Total Alkalinit (Pack of 1 (50 Strips))

Product Information

Chlorine levels inside an above ground pool should be 1 ‑ 3 ppm (3 ‑ 5 ppm for spas), pH levels should be 7.2 ‑ 7.6 and Total Alkalinity levels should measure 80 ‑ 100 ppm or 100 ‑ 120 ppm, depending on the chemical solutions used to treat a pool. When you’re ready to begin mixing your chemicals, you should handle them with chemical resistant gloves. The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation. It is also advised to wear tightly sealed goggles and appropriate protective clothing such as long sleeves, trousers, and closed-toed shoes that fully protect your feet from spills. You should also wash your hands after handling chemicals. Drain hot tub to the minimum mark and re-fill with fresh water to the maximum mark, this will help to dilute the excess chlorine. Chlorine levels of a hot tub should be 3‑5 ppm (Parts Per Million), pH levels should be 7.2 ‑ 7.6 and Total Alkalinity levels should measure 80 ‑ 120 ppm (Parts Per Million).

For low TA levels below 80ppm you will need to use Total Alkalinity Increaser. The amount of TA + you need to add to your hot tub depends on the volume of water and how low your readings are. As a guide - a hot tub of 1,000 litres requires 18g to raise Total Alkalinity levels by 10ppm (parts per million).Chlorine demand of water too high at start up, after holidays or due to excess contamination or neglect Dip a ClearWater® Test Strip in the centre of your Lay‑Z‑Spa, remove and hold it still for 15 seconds.

Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Have a First Aid Kit available for any accidents Remove the cover from Lay-Z-Spa to allow evaporation of the chlorine (keep the filter running constantly). The award-winning ClearWater® Pool Starter Kit is ideal for getting started with pool chemicals and easily understanding how to get a clean and healthy swimming environment.

Chlorine is a sanitiser that controls and prevents bacteria growth and is essential for the hot tub water to be clean and safe to use. The recommended Free Chlorine* level in a hot tub is 3-5ppm (parts per million). If you are going away we would suggest emptying the pool and cleaning it so the water is not left to go stagnant. Do no re-fill until you return from your trip.Dissolve the quantity of Chlorine Granules in a jug of warm water and pour into your hot tub. Activate the AirJets for a few minutes to circulate the chemicals evenly throughout the water. Not balancing the Total Alkalinity levels in your hot tub can cause a number of issues that can impact your spa experience. In the event of spillage, clean up using clean receptacles and dispose of carefully. Do not add water to spilled materials. Do not use floor sweeping compounds to clean up spills. Sweep and scoop spilled material into clean, dedicated equipment. pH measures how acidic or alkaline your water is and the ideal range for hot tubs is between 7.2 and 7.6. Balanced pH is necessary for other chemicals to work properly and imbalanced pH levels can impact your hot tub components and cause skin irritation.

Always pre-dissolve chemicals in a clean, plastic container in a well-ventilated area. When pre-dissolving chemicals always add chemicals to water and not vice versa. Always add the chemicals to the water. Total Alkalinity (TA) is the measure of your hot tub water’s ability to neutralise acids. Balanced Total Alkalinity helps control the pH levels and the correct level to aim for is between 80 and 120 parts per million (ppm). Keeping your test strips stored in a cool dry place is very important. If they become damp or bleached out by the sun, they may produce inaccurate results. Test strips also have an expiration date, so make sure they’re not too old. Strip Dip Chlorine levels inside an above-ground pool should be 1 ‑ 3 ppm (3 ‑ 5 ppm for hot tubs), pH levels should be 7.2 ‑ 7.6 and Total Alkalinity levels should measure 80 ‑ 120 ppm. Having the correct pH levels will ensure your eyes and skin aren’t irritated by your pool water. Most people think it’s the chlorine that causes your eyes to turn red after swimming, but it’s actually the pH level. The ideal levels are between 7.2 and 7.6. Rainwater can significantly affect your pH level, so test your water if you’ve experienced heavy storms. If you need to raise or lower the level, choose the appropriate chemical to add to the water.

Chemical Handling & Storage

For low pH levels below 7.2 you will need to use pH Plus to help raise the pH levels and balance the water. Never mix different chemicals in concentrated forms. This includes the kit products but also with other products like bleach or weedkillers – a dangerous reaction may occur.
