FAQs
How often should I test my pool or spa water?
Test at least twice a week, or more frequently during periods of heavy use or after rain.
How much chlorine granules should I use?
Dosage depends on your pool or spa size and desired chlorine levels. Refer to the product label for specific instructions.
Can I add the granules directly to my pool?
Yes, but pre-dissolving is recommended for water temperatures below 20°C.
What is the ideal pH range for my pool or spa?
The ideal pH range is 7.2 – 7.6.
What should I do if the chlorine level is too high?
Add fresh water to dilute the chlorine concentration. Avoid using the pool or spa until levels are back to normal.
How do I shock dose my pool or spa?
Use a higher dose of chlorine granules to quickly eliminate contaminants. Follow the product label instructions.
How should I store ClearWater Chlorine Granules?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, and out of reach of children.
Troubleshooting
Cloudy Water
Check and adjust pH levels. Shock dose the pool or spa to eliminate contaminants.
Low Chlorine Levels
Test the water and add more chlorine granules as needed. Make sure the filter is running.
High Chlorine Levels
Dilute the water by adding fresh water. Reduce the amount of chlorine added.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Application Instructions
- pH Adjustment: Ensure the pH level is within the ideal range of 7.2 – 7.6. Use pH Plus or pH Minus products as needed.
- Chlorine Level: Maintain free chlorine residuals for spas between 3-5 mg/l (ppm) and 1-3 mg/l (ppm) for swimming pools. New spas require an initial shock dose of chlorine: 50mg/l (ppm) for 1 hour or 20mg/l (ppm) for 2 hours.
- Application: Apply directly to pools or spas when temperatures are above 20°C. If the temperature is lower, pre-dissolve 10g of product per 0.2 gallons (1 liter) of water in a clean plastic container, stirring until fully dissolved. Add the solution to the pool or spa while the pumps are running.
- Repeat Dosage: Repeat dosage as necessary to achieve the required chlorine levels.
- Shock Dosing: Periodically (e.g., weekly or after heavy use) shock dose your spa to eliminate excess contamination.
Dosage Rates
A medium hot tub of 1,000 liters (220 Gallons) requires 2g for an increase.
Important Considerations
- Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for dosage.
- Use a test kit to monitor chlorine and pH levels regularly.
- Store chlorine granules in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
