Hi Adam, just used our santorini for the first time. I’ve now added a couple of the chlorine tabs, does the pump need to stay on to circulate the water? Thanks and first class videos 😁👍
I just filled my softub it has 274 gallons of water which is comparable to what you have in your video. Do I start this floater with tablets straight away before I even adjust the alkalinity and PH. Love your videos!
Hello My pump and heating are on 24/7 I am using Laz-y spa Paris 806 Liters. I am using 20gram chlorine tablets, the one i did put in yesterday was almost gone today, and there is too much chlorine in the lay-z spa, it.s purple when testing, and the ChemConnect was fully closed. Questions! Is it possible to adjust chlorine to be perfect amount all the time so u can jump into pool whenever u want whit this ChemConnect ? Does ur tablet last 5-7 days when pump and heating are running everyday ? Will a different brand tablets help maby ? I can't understand why 1 tablet and fully closed ChemConnect gives it so much chlorine in the spa :( My tablets box says 3 / 4 tablets for 10 000 liters, wich means do i need to use a half one ?
Hi, I've just purchased a chlorine float dispenser for our 8ft paddling pool, and it has arrived but I was suprised to see 2 holes in the very bottom, is this correct do you know? I thought it would just be the slots on the side that would release the dosage into the water. Thanks
Hi Adam. Love your videos, thanks so much for explaining everything in detail! One question though - do I leave the chemconnect with the chlorine tablets in the hot tub when using the hot tub, or do I have to take it out when I use it and put it back in once I"m out of the water? Thanks so much!
Good evening Adam I set my hottub up today and after watching your video I chose to do what you have done!! So it's come to the end of the evening and I've unplugged the hottub what will stop that water going off it's all covered up with the lazy spa cover
Added two tablets today and will start off mid way, if Chlorine is high I’ll close the vent further. Have found this to be too much in a 4 person Barbados so down to one tablet and open one notch on the ChemConnect. Cheers.
I have the same tub as you could you tell me the chlorine measurements you do ? &do you add the tablets after shocking or the day after ? Thanks for the video btw !
Hi Adam just wondering do you have any water pressure coming from the hot water outlet( where the chem connect is connected to)? Ours doesn’t seem to have any water pressure coming from it but my friend has a smaller best way spa and there is water pressure coming from the outlet. Cheers
Hi Adam, I’ve been using these tablets for a while now. I’m having issues where the ph and the the TA keep dropping. Any idea why this could be? Many thanks
The PH and TA should be relatively stable once you get them right on set up, especially if you're staying on top of the chlorine level too (it acts as a stabiliser). Not quite sure what's happening with your water if they keep dropping. Possibly, it's due to how you use the tub and things that are accidentally being added to the water. It's important that everyone showers before they use the tub to remove deodorant, make up, etc from skin. And make sure that no-one ever pees in the water! Otherwise, stick with what I guess you're doing already and add some PH+ to remedy.
@@SailingAquila I’ve always used my chem connect, always showered before entering. I know the chlorine granules are stabilised but not sure about the tablets. I hate the fact that I struggle so much to keep the TA up as well as the PH. GREAT INFORMATIVE VIDEO
Hi Adam, I'm planning on using my ClearWater tablets for a cold plunge tub (converted wheelie bin). It contains about 300 litres of water. I'm just wondering how many litres your pool is and do you think these tablets are good what what I have in mind? Thanks. Great video!
Sounds intriguing. Not sure these are right for cold water. It needs to be 20 degrees C to dissolve and really you'd want to shock the water first with granules. Wasteful as I sounds, think you're better off emptying and refilling after a few uses...
Hi Adam, great video and information. Questions: In using these chlorine tablets… 1. Do I add the chemconnect with the tablets inside for few hours while heating the tub before next use? Or do I add this after use for a few hours? 2. Do I still need to add PH minus or PH plus to manage PH levels right? 3. Is there anything else that can reduce the chlorine levels other than fresh water? Thank you in advance
1. You can adds the tablets immediately after use and leave them in place until you use the tub next time. You may need to adjust the ChemConnect to ensure the rate at which chlorine is added is right. 2. Once you have the tub up and running, provided you keep chlorine levels correct, you shouldn't have to worry about the PH as it remains fairly stable. Just keep an eye on it when you check the chlorine. 3. There chlorine levels drop naturally over time, especially with use. To reduce it a small amount, you can run the bubbles with the lid off and it will lower it gradually. Hope that helps...
My hot tub is the bane of my life. I shocked water and followed all instructions. Then for three days the ph and alkaline were at max level and even when i lowered the water and added a half fresh water there was no change. I tried ph reducer which did nothing. So i emptied whole hot tub, refilled and the tub still shows MAX alkaline and MAX ph with JUST fresh water, but zero free chlorine ofc. The whole process is just making me want to return hot tub and never bother again
If your local tap water has high TA and high PH when you add it to the hot tub, PH minus should bring both down if you keep adding it. The PH should start to drop first.
Hi Adam, I’m a newbie and learning how to get the levels right . I’m having issues with cloudy water after using the tub, I’ve replaced the filter and added a clarifier as I saw this advice from another channel. This didn’t work so I emptied it, refilled and started afresh, in your opinion would using these multifunction tablets be better than just chlorine tablets on their own ?
They do contain a clarifier, so that may help. If you're keeping you chlorine levels right, it should help it stay clear anyway. If it's still getting cloudy with the correct amount of chlorine in the water, it's often caused by things getting into the water from the people using it. This can be make up, deodorant or sun cream etc - always make sure everyone has a shower before getting in.
In the video you describe putting the tablets in while the hot water is running, I was wanting to keep the chlorine levels correct in between using the hot tub, So does it work when the water is cold or not? Confused newby
Water temp is not as important with the tablets as the granules. With the granules for chlorine or PH+/- etc, they need to dissolve. It’s fine for the water temp to drop off to ambient and the tablets will keep working.
4:50 i don't like the dispenser idea, because the waterflow will dissolve the tablets waaaaaaaaay faster than when you use the floating dispenser. i used to have a small pool, but since 2015 i have a lay z spa and i can tell you that 1 tablet in that dispenser is already way too much, let alone 3 or even more! Hell, i would love to see the chlorine level from that tub after 24 hours with that 3 tablets in it! I'll bet anyone that any teststrip will get blown of the scale. I use the floating dispenser and start with 1 tablet and when that is dissolved for about 50%, then i add another one, so that way there's always 1- 1,5 tablet in it every day, and that is waaaay enough. Next thing is that you also need to take care of the Ph level of the water, and that is just simple by adding Ph - or +. And you need a special gel that will glue all floating micro parts to it and get sucked into the paper filter. i use a bottle cap a day and flush out the filter every day and that way the water stays as clear as tapwater and with no sticky bubbles floating on top when the bubble function is on. And i do put the cover on the tub when i'm done, so no sunlight can grow algea, and the heat stays inside and no dirt from outside can't get in. And i take a shower first when i'm dirty from work/sweat/tanning oils, and make sure to step in with clean feet and use a fine mazed net to scoop out any hair, or insect or other minescule dirt, and about once a week i drain away about 10-20% water and refill with fresh water, because the chemicals and simple paper filter can't clear out all the minescule particles and probably bacteria, so that way the water keeps on being refreshed and never gets "old".
Thanks for the comment. Always interesting to hear how others maintain their tub. The ChemConnect is ok vs a float. Not least as I tend to turn the tub off completely when not in use. Also, if you close the vents to one notch or completely off, the chlorine dispensed is quite low.
@@SailingAquila When you shut off the tub after usage, then i can understand why you need 2-3 chlorine tablets, but in my case it's too much because my pump stays on 24/7, and that is because i use the tub every day. And it's cheaper to leave it on all the time because otherwise the water will cool of at night, and then the next day the heater element needs to make alot of hours to heat up the water again.
I cannot get my chlorine up. I shocked the tub with 2 tspn, adding one tsp every 2 days, since added one tab to chem connect .still below 1. Very very soft water area.
Watched all of your videos several times Adam and they have been perfect for a newby hot tub owner. Thank you.
Best video I’ve seen on this topic 👍👍

Thank you so much I learning so much 💗 really grateful 🙏 x I got my hot tub last month and your videos have helped loads x
Thanks so much for sharing the video Adam, I'm a new Spa owner and have some of these tablets arriving today, your advice has been really insightful.
Great video buddy, just brought a vegas lazy spa with the chemconnet included and this video is a god send. 💙
Great introduction video, thanks!
I'll take a look at your added chemicals videos next.
I love this guy and how his voice is so cool n smooth. Adam Ant ty for the advice. Billy from Virginia
Hi Adam
Just wanted to say thanks for the videos. As a newbie you have made it all make sense. Much appreciated Gary 😊
You’re welcome. Glad they’ve helped.
Thank you Adam for another great straight to the point video
Thank you we are new to this
Hi Adam.
When using the hot tube, do I have to pull the chemconnect out of the water or it can be all the time. Thank you and best regards
I just filled my softub it has 274 gallons of water which is comparable to what you have in your video. Do I start this floater with tablets straight away before I even adjust the alkalinity and PH.
Love your videos!

You can close it completely and it should be fine, but better still to remove it. You don’t want to be adding chlorine when you’re in the tub.
After the float is taken out the water how long before you can safely use the hot tub
Hi Adam will I still need to do my every 2 week agaecide treatment with the chlorine tablets
Regards Dan
Do you have to shock the hot tub or can you use tablets?

Hi from EVE, Thank you for the advice, I have just purchased a hot tub and plan to get it up and running soon.

Love your videos. Really helpful. Is it possible to use salt water in LayZee spa?

I have the palm springs lazy spa, how much chlorine granules do I put in?
If you watch my video in how to shock the water, it will give you a rough idea
How long would 3 tablets last within the chem connect before they would need replacing/topping do you think?
All depends on how open or closed you have the vents, but I normally get a week or two out of each batch.
Excellent
I cannot get my chlorine up. I shocked the tub with 2 tspn, adding one tsp every 2 days, since added one tab to chem connect .still below 1. Very very soft water area.
Try going for a bigger dose all at once. Worse case it gets too much in and you have to water it down.
@@SailingAquila thank you so much for the advice and vids.
1st keep it up
How do I remove cloudy water
You can try a chlorine shock to see if it fixes it, otherwise drain, clean and refill.
Seriously, Lazy-Spa should just put a QR to your videos on the box as they are spot on. The instructions with the tub is trash!
Many thanks!!
Iv had a hot tub for over a week not and ever day I’m adding chemicals ! Chlorine is annoying
I have through the powder direct 😝🤭😳
Very helpful, thank you
