Anyone recommend a good place to get chemicals online in Canada?

Are you looking to patronize a Canadian company or just someone who ships up there? We don't ship outside the US, but I think Doc does. Try www.rhtubs.com.

I searched around a couple of years ago when we got our tub. I couldn't find much, there was one place in Alberta (I think) that was OK but the shipping prices were to high. I have ordered some stuff from Doc (rhtubs) and the service and delivery was great,

I like to stick to a Canadian company when I can but sometimes it just doesn't work out

Tried to place an order with rhtubs, however they don't ship sanitizers internationally since it's considered a hazardous substance. Any other suggestions? Essentially at this point I'm looking at getting some Bromine tablets.

Thanks

Why can't you just buy some Bromine tablets from your dealer??

Where are you located? I'm sure there are a few good dealers close by or Tom, FamilyBiz or Pathfinder could recommend one. They are three of the Canadian dealers that post here

I've never used them because, well... they're a competitor. But they are in Canada and they sell sanitizers. May fit your bill. But like the previous poster mentioned, are you just a long way from your dealer?

If your looking for volume just go to your local dealer that sells pool chems as well since the bromine tabs are the same & a 2kg - 8kg will be cheaper than the equiv in the spa chem packaging.

I'm not a dealer. Not even official factory rep any more.

Yes I know that Tom but I wasn't quite sure what to call you :-? Anyhow, I did know that you would be able to provide a name for Styx555.

So do we call you the artist formerly known as Tom the factory service rep or do you just go by a symbol now days

It's one thing to purchase chemicals on line (for price I'm assuming?) :-? but quite another to understand how to balance water. My suggestion would be to support someone local who understands water balance, offers free water analysis and will help you keep your water clean, clear and safe.

I've seen many people save a few bucks only to drain and refill twice as often due to poor water quality, not to mention having unsafe or even harmful conditions. Don't step over a dollar to pick up a dime...
