Pure-Spa Chemical Starter Kits: Simplify Spa Start-Ups
Buying a hot tub is easy; keeping water clean and balanced is where most new owners get stuck. Trade professionals know how overwhelming it can be for new customers to face a wall of chemicals and conflicting advice. Pure-Spa Chemical Starter Kits bundle everything needed for clean, balanced spa water in one box.
These kits are perfect for trade dealers, installers and service engineers who want smoother handovers and fewer call-backs. They're also an accessible way for retail customers to try Pure-Spa chemicals without committing to large quantities; consumers can buy the same trade‑trusted kits for personal use.
What's Included?
- Sanitiser (Chlorine or Bromine Granules) - The main defence against bacteria, viruses and algae; chlorine is highly effective at killing contaminants and bromine remains effective at high temperatures and is gentler on skin.
- pH Plus (pH increaser, 500 g) - Raises pH when water is too acidic; helps prevent corrosion and keeps the sanitiser working efficiently.
- pH Minus (pH reducer, 750 g) - Lowers pH when it's too high to prevent scale, cloudiness and skin irritation.
- No Foam (foam reducer, 500 ml) or Total Alkalinity (TA) Increaser (500 g) - Foam reducer knocks back surface foam caused by soaps and oils; it's a quick fix that removes foam within minutes. TA Increaser raises alkalinity to create a buffer that stabilises pH; maintain TA between 80 and 150 ppm for stable water.
- Test Strips (50) - Easy‑to‑use strips to check sanitiser, pH and alkalinity levels.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my hot tub foam?
Foamy water is usually caused by surfactants - residues from soaps, oils, lotions or detergents that reduce the surface tension of water. When jets agitate these surfactants, bubbles form. A foam reducer will quickly clear the surface foam, but maintaining proper sanitiser, pH and alkalinity levels helps prevent foam from forming in the first place. Rinse swimwear thoroughly and avoid introducing lotions or cosmetics into the water.
How do I raise total alkalinity?
Total alkalinity should be maintained between 80 and 150 ppm. If it's low, add a TA Increaser (sodium bicarbonate). Alkalinity acts as a buffer, helping your pH resist change. Test the water, dose according to the product instructions, circulate, then retest. Adjust pH after alkalinity is within range.
Chlorine vs Bromine - which is right for me?
Chlorine granules are the most widely used spa sanitiser; they dissolve quickly, are affordable and extremely effective at killing bacteria, viruses and algae. Bromine is gentler on skin and eyes and stays effective at higher temperatures, but it costs more and dissolves more slowly. Many trade pros recommend chlorine for most spas and bromine as an upgrade for sensitive users.
