I added the bleach and the bromide and turned the jets on. I thought it'd be smart to ask how long should I wait before entering the spa after adding those two chemicals?

Thank you! This is helpful.

Hey thanks again for answering my previous questions. I think I'm going to go with bromine tablets and a bromine booster because that seems to be the simplest route. I'm wondering if you or anyone reading this could help me understand what chemicals I need to buy. I have purchased a new and better test kit, but reading online am overwhelmed at the number of different types of chemicals. This link lists balancers, clarifiers, shocks, cleaners, and sanitizers among the different types of chemicals. My questions are Are bromine tablets and booster what I would use to control the PH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness? Are any of those types of chemicals I listed above from the link necessary in addition to bromine tablets and booster?

Thank you so much. This was very helpful!

I have purchased a Coleman Lazy Spa, an inflatable hot tub, and am overwhelmed trying to learn how to maintain it. I have purchased a few items to help me maintain it, but am not sure if I'm using these items correctly. The items I've purchased are the following; Leisure Time A Spa Bright and Clear, Litmus pH Test Strips, and Clorox Pool & Spa 60001CLX Small Pool 1-Inch Chlorinating Floater Tablets. I have a lot of general questions, so I'll just list them below and hopefully somebody can help me learn about this. I would appreciate it greatly. What temperature should I keep the spa at when I'm not using it? Is it okay for the water if I leave the heat off for extended periods of time? How important it is to check alkalinity in addition to pH? How often should I add chemicals to the spa? When adding chemicals what chemicals should I add? Is the Leisure Time Spa Bright and Clear I purchased adequate? How often should I refill the chlorine dispenser with chlorine tablets? The hot tub has a filter setting. How often should I run the filter setting on the hot tub? Should I invest in a more sophisticated water testing kit like a Poolmaster 22260 5-Way Test Kit? What basic tasks should I do weekly to make sure that my spa operates smoothly? If you have any tips or other comments that you think would be helpful I would be grateful.
