The rate of chlorine consumption can and does vary depending on different conditions and chlorine will be consumed even when there is no swimming (i. The frequency of water changes should reflect the degree of use of the hot tub, as well as the results of chemical testing. To ensure the ideal reading of 1 – 3 ppm is maintained it is advised to aim for 3 ppm to provide a useful “buffer” for fluctuating conditions such as bathing loads and hot weather.Chlorine levels are fluctuating, the pool has been left and gone stagnant or other chemical levels are not correct. The Clearwater Dip Tests are manufactured by the founders of dip testing in the USA and are the most accurate available on the market so you know you’re getting an accurate reading every single time.
