A brominating product is also more effective in killing certain types of algae.

Chlorinating Program
Chlorination is the method of sanitation often used in outdoor spas where the UV rays of the sun can destroy the sanitizer residual.

This chlorinating system also oxidizes, meaning it eliminates undesirable compounds such as oils, cosmetics, perspiration, etc. from the water.

SpaGuard Chlorine Kits contain all the products needed to start and maintain your chlorinated spa or hot tub.
