What should I get to chlorinate my new hot tub/pool that I built?

Question

Its 8ft by 4ft and 3 ft high, about 600 gallons of water and it sits outside in the sun. Do I just need to get chlorine, or what? How often do you add it, where should I get it? Thanks

Answer 3

First of all Bromine works better in hot water than chlorine and it is also cheaper...so go with bromine. Second, you can add a granular bromine after every use (amount based on gallonage) or you can use a bromine floater with bromine tabs in it. That is the most economical way to handle the situation. Remember to watch the pH and Total Alkalinity and your water will be fine. You can get the products on-line at https://www.poolsplusinc.com/acatalog/home.html
