Clearwater® chemicals are designed for and tested on Lay-Z-Spa hot tubs but can be used on any and all home hot tubs. Chemical water treatment for hot tubs is essential regardless of how long or how often you plan to use the hot tub and this starter kit has everything you need to get started and keep up the water maintenance. 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. Clearwater Clarifier contains flocculants which bind small particles of debris and algae together so that your Lay-Z-Spa filtration system can adequately remove them, resulting in clean and sparkly water. This is a very effective way of preventing your spa water from looking dull and cloudy, due to the build-up of dead algae and debris that is too small to be trapped by your filter. Even if you have treated your spa for algae using Clearwater Algaecide, it is recommended that you use the Water Clarifier to remove any residual debris. This TA Increaser helps raise Total Alkalinity levels, which in turn will help control pH levels and chlorine.

Remove the cover from Lay-Z-Spa to allow evaporation of the chlorine (keep the filter running constantly). For low pH levels below 7.2 you will need to use pH Plus to help raise the pH levels and balance the water. The gold starter kit also includes Clearwater 1kg Multifunction Mini Tablets which offer an incredibly simple way to maintain clear and hygienic hot tub water. The water treatment tablets are perfect for use with a Bestway 5in Chemical Floater, which slowly releases the Mini Tablets into the spa, to keep it sanitised. It’s a wonderful way to maintain healthy water if you have a busy schedule or are spending an extended time away from home. Chlorine levels are fluctuating, the pool has been left and gone stagnant or other chemical levels are not correct. Clearwater pH Plus , also known as ‘pH increaser’ is the best way to increase pH levels that have dropped below the recommended level. To avoid skin discomforts and enable the chlorine in your spa to work effectively, it’s vital that acidity is monitored and controlled. The recommended pH balance of spa water is between 7.2 and 7.6.After testing the PH with your dip test strips you can use the following chemicals to increase or decrease the PH.

Not balancing the Total Alkalinity levels in your hot tub can cause a number of issues that can impact your spa experience. It is important to get your hot tub Chlorine levels correct. Not enough Chlorine can result in unhygienic bathing conditions, whereas high Chlorine levels can cause irritated eyes or skin. Please note: The table is only applicable to Clearwater® Chemicals.

Water Problem Solving Chart

The award-winning Bestway Clearwater Spa Starter Kit is a fantastic option for new inflatable hot tub owners and is an easy-to-understand introduction to the world of water treatment. 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. Dip a ClearWater® Test Strip in the centre of your Lay-Z-Spa, remove and hold it still for 15 seconds. If you are going away we would suggest emptying the hot tub and cleaning it so the water is not left to go stagnant. Do not re-fill until you return from your trip.

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. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Have a First Aid Kit available for any accidents The Chemical Starter Kit includes 500g of ClearWater Chlorine Granules for disinfecting spas, 500g of pH Plus for increasing the PH of spa water, 700g pH Minus for decreasing PH of pool & spa water, 500ml Foam Remover to control & prevent foaming and 25 test strips to test for total alkalinity, chlorine and PH. Clearwater pH Minus , also known as ‘pH reducer’ is the most simple and effective way to decrease the pH of your spa water when it has surpassed the recommended level. pH minus can also be used to lower TA (Total Alkalinity) levels.For high chlorine levels above 5ppm, we would suggest you drain the Lay-Z-Spa to the minimum mark and re-fill with fresh water to the maximum mark, this will help to dilute the excess chemical. Or, remove the cover from the hot tub to allow evaporation of the chemical (keep the spa filter running constantly). Drain pool to minimum mark and re-fill with fresh water to maximum mark, this will help to dilute the excess chemical. Clearwater Multifunction Tablets are an effective and hassle-free way of maintaining clear and healthy spa water. They contain a combination of chemicals that act in a number of ways. These slow-release tablets contain chlorine, algaecide and water clarifier. The chemical dispenser slowly releases the mini-tablets into the water, making this a completely hassle-free way of treating your water even for the user with a busy schedule. 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). 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).
