Aquaspa - PHMB or polyhexanide

[SteveOL]

G’day all,

I was looking for the Ahh-Some product in Australia which is apparently Lo-Chlor Aquaspa Pipe Klenz. I believe Ahh-Some provide their chemicals to Lo-Chlor and it is the same product.

Anyhoo, in doing so I noticed their chlorine and bromine-free sanitising system, Aquaspa. It uses PHMB or polyhexanide as the sanitiser component.

Is polyhexanide worth a go or is sticking with chlorine preferable?

Thanks as always,

Steve

Maybe your mates are familiar with the Aquaspa - @mgtfp @AUSpool @aussieta

That’s basically Baquacil sanitizer … run away as fast as you can from that sanitizing system or else you will be MISERABLE …

I had exactly the same question as I was reading through the LoChlor info. Thanks for the clarification. So I am thinking the only LoChlor hot tub cleaner chemicals I need are;
* The PipeKlenz
* FIlter cleaner.
Does that sound right?
I have all the other stuff like Chlorine, Acid, Calcium etc and Clear Choice Labs test kit.
Thanks.

I think you’re right. I have the same gear.

We do supply Lo-Chlor the active ingredient for Pipe Klenz. Their product is very effective. Please report to the forum after you use that product. Best advice I can share with you. Stick with chlorine as your sanitizer of choice.

Would doing one full purge be enough or should you repeat the process? Or can you purge twice using the same water?

You can use the same water, just add a half dose for each subsequent purge. You can wait between purges to let the cleaner do its stuff. Purge until nothing comes out.
