We just recently moved into a house with a hot tub and the previous owners gave us everything they use to maintain the hot tub. They never used chlorine or bromine and just used the ClearChoice Spa drops. Our water is crystal clear and it doesn’t have a smell. I tested it and the chlorine level is low (obviously) and the PH was high. Does anyone else use these drops and how do I know if my hot tub is safe and free of bacteria?
ClearChoice Enzyme Spa Drops

There’s no way of knowing if the water is safe without sending a sample to a lab and having it checked for dangerous contaminants. That’s why the enzyme stuff isn’t a good option. I’d also suspect it doesn’t work anyway given my limited experience with similar thing years ago.
The website has a bunch of goofy statements about how great it is to use a “chemical free” spa which you get by buying their one chemical to add to the spa.
If they are that lazy with their marketing, I wouldn’t trust anything else they do.
Hey HTG and Welcome !!!
There are seemingly a million products out there to allow you to use less chlorone/bromine, but under zero circumstances is that ok. Full sanitation is needed at all times, period. Or you are not sanitary.
It's bad enough in a pool, but in a hot tub making people soup........
How do you test ?
I hope not. They're a bunch of manufactures lies which promote unsanitary/unsterile water.

If you are in target range for your CYA, you are sterile. A hot tub bather load is off the charts and usage will require lots and lots of chlorine to replenish what's lost. Not at once, but a little at a time and frequently. If it sits all week there will be some demand at first as you sterilize the leftovers, but then FC demand will lower (but not stop.... You'll need to test and maintain safe FC) anywho, check the the chart
