Hot Tub Floating Chemical Dispenser

Keeping your water sanitised is a really important part of maintaining your hot tub. One way you can do this is to use a floating chemical dispenser. Using a floating dispenser with either chlorine or bromine tablets keeps your water clean and healthy. It just floats on the surface of your water and you regularly put tablets in it which slowly dissolve over time.

Tablets have become more popular over the years, as the inflatable spa market as grown but many hot tub owners use them too. They are cheap and easy to use. A floating chemical dispenser is not the only way to sanitise your hot tub, you can also use an in-line chemical feeder or a skimmer basket but the floating dispenser is more popular because it’s so easy to use.
