Top Quality Hot Tub Chemicals

We have everything you need to keep your hot tub maintained and in fantastic condition for years to come! Below you’ll find answers to common questions about hot tub chemicals, including where to buy them, how to use them, and tips for proper water care and maintenance.

What chemicals should be used in a hot tub?

Some common chemicals include:
  • pH balancers to maintain alkalinity in the water
  • Shock treatment, which will oxidize the water in a potent way
  • Sanitizers, like chlorine and bromine, that are used to remove bacteria

In what order do you put hot tub chemicals in a hot tub?

The most ideal order for adding hot tub chemicals would be:
- Scaler 
- Balancer
- Sanitizer
- Shock (weekly)

Be sure to have the jets in the hot tub running after adding each chemical so it can disperse effectively.

Should you run jets when adding hot tub chemicals to a hot tub?

Running jets while adding chemicals is essential. The current moving in the water allows the hot tub chemicals to disperse evenly and clean the water much more efficiently.

Should I have the hot tub cover open when adding chemicals?

Yes. You should always have the hot tub cover open when adding chemicals. Keeping the cover open allows gases and fumes to safely escape, helps chemicals mix properly, and prevents damage to your cover from trapped chemical vapors. After adding chemicals, let the jets run with the cover open for 10–15 minutes before closing it.

Where can I purchase hot tub chemicals?

You can purchase hot tub chemicals at any of our retail store locations or shop online for added convenience. When you order online, you’ll receive free shipping on orders of $100 or more, making it easy to keep your spa clean and ready to enjoy anytime.

“We recently purchased a Tropic Seas Kauai hot tub, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. The hot tub is well-built, easy to operate, and provides excellent comfort and relaxation. A special thank you to Ariel, who made the entire process smooth and enjoyable.”

 “Purchased a floor model 3-4 person infrared sauna. Installers were very nice and professional and went out of their way to make sure everything worked properly and that we were satisfied. Used it right away. I've been a customer for years and have always had a great experience weather it be visiting the store for dart and billiard supplies, and now the sauna. May get a hot tub in the near future as well! Thank you everyone!”

 “Ariel was absolutely fantastic to work with during our hot tub purchase. She was knowledgeable, patient, and never pushy, which made the whole process enjoyable and stress-free. She took the time to explain all the options, answered every question thoroughly, and helped us find the perfect hot tub for our needs and budget.”

 “We came here to get a permanent above ground pool for my family. Did some looking online, but decided to go with a local shop. The prices were good and they had subcontractors available for us. We love it! Whenever we call about pool maintenance, they are always helping us out which means a lot since we're new to all of this.”

“The two times I’ve needed parts for my hot tub they have been the only ones to have or able to order the parts. Ariel has helped both times and has been nothing but fabulous with finding what I’ve needed.”
