It is specifically designed for beginners, providing a complete chemistry set to balance pH levels and sanitize water effectively.

FAQs
How often should I use the 3-in-1 test strips?
We recommend testing your water before every use, or at minimum, twice a week to ensure safe soaking conditions.
Can I use this in a saltwater hot tub?
This kit is specifically designed for traditional chlorine-based systems. It is not intended for use in salt-chlorine generator systems.
How long do the chemicals last?
Depending on the frequency of use and the volume of your spa, the kit typically lasts 3-6 months for an average user.
Is it safe for pets or children?
Chemicals should be stored out of reach. While treated water is safe for soaking, do not allow pets or children to drink the spa water.
Can I add all chemicals at once?
No, you should add chemicals one at a time with the pump running, waiting at least 15 minutes between applications for the best results.
Troubleshooting
Water appears cloudy despite sanitizing
Check your pH levels. If pH is too high or low, it can prevent chlorine from working. Adjust accordingly.
Chlorine smell is very strong
This often indicates 'chloramines' (spent chlorine). Leave the spa cover off for an hour to allow gases to escape and shock the water if necessary.
Test strip colors are hard to read
Ensure you are holding the strip horizontally and reading the results within exactly 15 seconds.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure your spa filtration system is running before adding any chemicals. Always add chemicals to water, never add water to chemicals, to prevent splashing. Store all containers in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, keeping them securely capped to prevent contamination. This kit is universally compatible with all inflatable and rigid spa setups; however, always consult your specific spa manual for recommended chemical ppm (parts per million) ranges to ensure you are meeting manufacturer requirements. Always rinse your test strips quickly and read them in natural lighting for the most accurate results.
