If you want to make the most of your jacuzzi, the water quality has to be ideal. Good water treatment ensures:
Two values are very important for good water quality:
You should carry out chlorine shock treatment at least once a week to keep the quality of the water in your jacuzzi ideal.
It is best to perform the chlorine shock treatment in the evening. This ensures that the chlorine can spread well and have the optimum effect. Furthermore, the jacuzzi will be ready to use again the next morning.
If you use your jacuzzi more than 3 days a week, it is best to add an extra dose of chlorine in the middle of the week.
The chlorine level is good when it fluctuates at around 1.5 to 2 ppm. However, anything between 1 and 2.5 ppm is healthy enough to bathe in.
You can also find alternatives to chlorine in various shops such as, for example Aquafinesse. A longer service life for the jacuzzi is the most important reason for not choosing chlorine as a disinfectant. Using too much chlorine in your jacuzzi can cause damage to the jacuzzi components.
In addition, you will have less need for maintenance products if you opt for an alternative disinfection method.
However, do bear in mind that the alternatives to chlorine take longer to work. Chlorine has a quicker effect on the quality of the water. Alternatives like active oxygen, salt, ozone, etc. take longer to have an effect on the water quality.
This is, in retrospect, the number 1 reason for going back to using chlorine. If your jacuzzi turns green, you want to get it clear again as quickly as possible. In that case, it’s best to use chlorine and you can then get back to enjoying your jacuzzi much sooner.
For that reason, we do not offer any alternatives to chlorine because there is nothing as efficient as treating the water with chlorine.
What’s the best way to disinfect your jacuzzi with chlorine? We are happy to help you with the following steps.
The pH level has to be right before you add chlorine. If the pH level is not right, chlorine will have little or no effect on the quality of the water in your jacuzzi.
You can measure this with the help of a tester.
You can increase the chlorine level in your jacuzzi by carrying out chlorine shock treatment. To ensure the perfect dosage, we advise you to follow the instructions on the packaging at all times. Usually, the correct dosage is around 10 grams per 1000 litres.
After adding chlorine, run the jacuzzi filter for at least 1 hour. After around 10 minutes, measure to see if the chlorine value has reached the right level.
As stated earlier, the ideal chlorine level for a jacuzzi is between 1.5 and 2 ppm. You can use chlorine tablets to keep this value at the right level. You can control how quickly the tablet dissolves by using a floating chlorine dispenser.
Check the pH and chlorine in your jacuzzi at least twice a week and add products as needed. N.B.: Adding too much product can cause the water to become turbid and the forming of foam.
