Why do I need to have a chlorine or bromine residual in the hot tub?
IN THE USA:
• The EPA requires by law to have a residual of sanitizer in the water at all times as a blanket requirement in order to protect consumers from health problems caused by unclean water. Many hot tubs do not have 24/7 true 100% filtration, which can cause the growth of bacteria and bio-film.
• Beachcomber Hot Tub’s Smart Sense Technology equipment automatically purges all piping and jets twice a day, even if the hot tub is not used, ensuring 100% filtration and ClearTech operation.

IN CANADA:
• Health Canada equires a minimum chlorine or bromine level of 3-5 ppm.
