Product Information
Full details
The Wave Spas Hot Tub Algaecide is an essential chemical treatment designed for hot tub and swimming pool owners who want to maintain clear, hygienic water without the frustration of persistent algae growth. It is ideal for those performing regular weekly maintenance who need a reliable booster to supplement their primary disinfectant routine. While highly effective at prevention and elimination, it is important to note that this product must be used alongside a standard sanitizer, as it is not a standalone solution for total water disinfection.

FAQs
How often should I use this algaecide?
It is recommended to use it once per week as part of your routine maintenance program.
Can I swim immediately after adding it?
It is best practice to allow the water to circulate for at least 30 to 60 minutes after application before entering the water.
Will this affect my spa's pH level?
While it is formulated to be pH stable, always test your water a few hours after adding any chemical to ensure balance remains optimal.
Does this replace the need for chlorine?
No. This product is designed to work in conjunction with a sanitizer like chlorine or bromine, not as a replacement for it.
Can I use this in an inflatable hot tub?
Yes, this product is safe for use in most hot tubs, including inflatable models, provided you follow the dosage instructions for your specific water volume.
Troubleshooting
Water remains cloudy despite treatment
Check your pH and alkalinity levels first; if these are off, the algaecide will be less effective. Also, ensure your filter cartridge is clean.
Algae keeps returning
Verify that your primary sanitizer (chlorine or bromine) levels are within the recommended range, as algaecide works best when the sanitizer is doing its primary job.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, ensure your hot tub's water is properly balanced (pH between 7.2 and 7.6) before adding the algaecide. Always read the bottle instructions for exact dosage based on your spa's water capacity.
Compatibility: This product is compatible with most standard pool and spa chemicals but should not be pre-mixed directly with other concentrated chemicals in the same container.
