Like most people, you probably invested in a spa to have your own personal sanctuary to escape the aches, pains and tension that comes with life. What you didn’t expect was the challenges of spa maintenance. Constantly adding chemicals to keep the spa balanced and clean can become a chore that nobody wants to do, kind of like walking the dog and cleaning up after it. Well the drudgery of maintaining a spa has finally come to an end with the introduction of a chlorine generator.

What makes the ColorChlor and TechniChlor different?

Simplicity, economy and pure relaxation are what you can expect from using the ColorChlor. No more driving to the spa store to buy expensive spa chemicals and no constant testing and adding chemicals are needed to keep your spa in an inviting state. You will also find that the water in a ColorChlor treated spa is like nothing you have ever experienced before. Your water will have a silky-smooth feel without offensive chemical smell, and no itchy, dry skin when you get out – these are problems associated with traditional chemical treatments.

What’s wrong with traditional spa chemicals?

When you bathe in a salt water spa , get out, dry off and go about your evening without feeling the need to take a shower.  Your skin, suit and towel will smell as fresh.  Your skin will be silky smooth.

With all that said, here is how you can really start enjoying your spa with minimal effort and pool supplies purchased from any grocery store for a fraction of what you would pay at a spa store.

1. Put a Chlorination system in your spa according to the directions supplied. It is important to start with fresh water and a clean tub in order to obtain the results expected.
2. Add recommended amount of salt to the spa water.
3. Check the alkalinity of your spa water and adjust to 80-120 PPM if needed. This will help maintain optimal pH levels. Common baking soda is all you need to increase alkalinity. If your alkalinity is too high, you can lower it with pH adjustments listed next.
4. Adjust pH. If you needed to add baking soda, wait 2-3 hours before performing this step. To lower pH add small amounts of white vinegar. To bring alkalinity down maintain a pH of 7.0-7.2 for a week and test again. Low pH can also be increased using a small amount of baking soda. The ColorChlor will also slightly increase your pH so as long as it is 7.0 you don’t need to adjust it.
5. Check your water every month and adjust if needed. Every 2 weeks if heavily used.

This is all you will have to do in most cases. Should you experience any difficulties send me an e-mail and I’ll be happy to assist you.

This is always something people ask about and we haven’t had the time to take a good set of pictures or video, so thanks a ton to Definitive Water Tech!

A recent newsletter by the APSP states the concern over declining hot tub sales. My opinion on this after talking to many hot tub owners is that they are tired and frustrated with hot tub maintenance. They never imagined what a chore it would be after spending thousands of dollars on something they wanted to enjoy, not end up dreading.

By adding a salt water chlorine generator, half those chores are handled for you – and you get fresher sanitized water to boot!

Now for those who already own spa’s – ther are more than 5,000,000 in the States alone – the chlorine generators will save you a great deal of money.  The SpaChlorinator.com products only require salt, vinegar and baking soda all readily availabe in your local grocery store and without the markups added by the pool chemical specialty stores.
