When is LESS actually MORE?
Less is more when you are talking about the amount of chlorine in your hot tub water! Everyone loves sparkling clear, clean hot tub water with no chlorine smell. The best way to achieve this is with a combination of products to create the EverFresh System.
This easy system consists of:
1. ozonator
2. mineral purifier
3. a touch of chlorine or bromine
The EverFresh System allows you to keep your PPM (part per million) of Free Chlorine or Bromine at 1-3 instead of the ideal 3-5 ppm. Less chlorine will make your skin feel better, your wallet have more money and your overall hot experience even more relaxing!
So exactly how can you use less chlorine and have more enjoyable hot tub water? It is very easy!
1. Install a CD (corona discharge) ozonator in your spa. An ozonator is the perfect addition to your spa because it is silent, maintenance free and costs only pennies a day to run. A CD ozonator gives you the best in water purification technology by continuously injecting millions of tiny, highly concentrated ozone bubbles into the water, neutralizing contaminates on contact. There are UV units available, but the santization level is less and the bulbs are very expensive to replace. A CD ozonator can be installed at anytime, even when the spa is full of water. The installation can be done by a handyman type homeowner or leave it to the spa professionals to install it for you. This great unit will give you peace of mind that your water is being cleaned daily with no effort on your part so get one today!
2. In addition to the ozonator you will need to insert a mineral purifier into your filter compartment. This little unit contains EPA-registered minerals that release a silver ion into the water. This ion has no smell or feel, but bacteria hate it because they cannot multiply. This unit lasts 3-4 months and costs only about .25 cents a day! Can’t beat that!!
3. Lastly as part of this program some chlorine or bromine should be added to achieve a level to 1-3ppm. Your test strip should read 1-3 or a light shade of purple. The amount will be something that you will determine based on your bather load. Remember if you have more people one day you will need more chlorine or bromine, but achieving the 1-3ppm range is still sufficient. Adding the determined amount of chlorine when you exit the spa daily is best, bromine tends to be in tablet form so you will not need to add this each time- only as needed. If you are using chlorine- be safe and test and possibly treat the water prior to use if you haven’t used the spa for a few days and therefore haven’t added your dose of chlorine in a few days.
Can’t get any easier than 1, 2, 3 to have sparkling clear, safe water for you and your family to relax and have fun in!
As with any program you will still need to adjust, pH, alkalinity and calcium levels. Also the addition of a shock, scale inhibitor and water clarifier will be necessary with the EverFresh System.
