Welcome to our forum.
I don't believe Dichlor comes in tablets. Its probably Tri-chlor which is for pools and will void many warranties.
Thanks, just checking. Â I sort of surprised that some suggest it.I will stick with my regular routine of Dichlor granules.
Only chlorine tablets out there are Trichlor. Â This raises several issues.1) Â Your CYA level will skyrocket. Â CYA is something that hot tub owners don't really know about because with a cover it doesn't pertain to them- but trichlor tablets will feed in a chemical called cyanuric acid that helps stabilize the chlorine from being knocked out by the sun. Â This will also hold any chloramines in the water that you may have and make them harder to break apart.3) Â pH of 2.9 in trichlor tablets. Â This will bottom out your alkalinity and your pH as well- wreaking havoc on all your equipment. Â With Hot Spring you've got the "No Fault" heater, but I think they'll only replace it once free of charge.Tri-chlor should only be used in the case of heavy operation with seasoned pool/spa vets. who monitor their chemical levels every single day. Â It works well for some, but I wouldn't recommend it if you held a gun to my head.
