Dosage Guide
Why Choose the 5 lb Size?
The 5 lb size is a practical choice for hot tub owners who sanitize regularly, use their spa often, or prefer buying a larger container to reduce reorder frequency. It offers the same fast-dissolving SpaGuard Chlorinating Concentrate formula in a more maintenance-friendly size for ongoing spa care.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does SpaGuard Chlorinating Concentrate do?
SpaGuard Chlorinating Concentrate sanitizes spa and hot tub water with quick-dissolving chlorine granules. It can also be used in shock-dose applications as an oxidizer.
Is this a sanitizer or a shock?
It can be used as both. Regular doses help maintain sanitizer levels, while higher superchlorination doses help oxidize contaminants after heavier use.
Do I need to pre-dissolve it?
No. SpaGuard Chlorinating Concentrate may be added directly to spa water while the pump is running.
What chlorine level should I maintain?
The product directions reference maintaining an available chlorine residual of 3-5 ppm. Test water regularly to confirm levels before using the spa.
Is the 5 lb size different from the smaller SpaGuard Chlorinating Concentrate?
The core product use is the same. The 5 lb size is better suited for frequent use, larger spas, or customers who want a longer-lasting supply.
