Sanitizers

A hot tub sanitizer kills bacteria and purifies the water. The sanitizer is the most critical component of a healthy hot tub experience. The Center for Disease Control only recommends a few sanitizers as proper hot tub disinfectants, or “Primary Sanitizers”. These include chlorine, bromine, and a few mineral sanitizers when used in combination with an oxidizer. Other products that do help destroy microorganisms but are not effective enough to use alone are “Secondary Sanitizers.”

• UV is not a primary sanitizer.

• Ozonators are not primary sanitizers.

• Oxidizers aka non-chlorine shock or MPS are not primary sanitizers.

UV, Ozone, and oxidizers can be noted as chemical reducing aids, but still require the use of a halogen-based or primary sanitizer.

There are many sanitizers on the market. Some are great, some are mediocre and some are terrible. We offer only the best sanitizer products based on years of experience.
