DrewM Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 Just looking to see how people add the granular chlorine and other chemicals. Does everyone just add straight into the water? Does everyone add it to through the filters system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
contact634 Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 I measure out the amounts and add them with all jets running others mix them in water then add the water to the tub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratchett Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 I bought a dosed Sugar Dispenser off amazon. Comes with different inserts for dosages. I use the 1/2 teaspoon size so I dose my tub as needed (my dealer's math for my 200-gallon Jetsetter is 1/2 teaspoon per person per 30 minutes of soaking, always rounding up). After each soak, I open the filter cover, give the sugar dispenser a click or two depending on the usage that day and then press the "CLEAN" button on my display to run the jets for 10 minutes. This sucks up the dichlor and dispenses it around my tub to sanitizer the spa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDspaguy Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 Adding chemicals into the filter area is not recommended. Jets on, broadcast chemicals over the water surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadianSpaTech Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 IMO It is caustic stuff and adding it undiluted into the filter hole would be hard on the heater, any seals inline and also the paper filters if they are left in while adding chems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDspaguy Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 Exactly. High concentrations of harsh chemicals in the equipment are the issue. Add rubber o-rings, pressure switch diaphragm, and jet internals to that list of potential damage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
