Description

SpaPure Chlorinating Granules are a fast-dissolving, concentrated chlorine sanitizer for hot tubs and spas. The active ingredient is sodium dichloro-s-triazinetrione (dichlor) at 97% — a granular form of chlorine that dissolves quickly, works across a wide pH range, and won't cloud your water the way some sanitizers do.

Sanitizer is the single most important part of spa water care. A hot tub is warm, agitated, and used by people at close quarters — ideal conditions for bacteria. Chlorine is what keeps that water safe to soak in, neutralizing bacteria continuously between uses. Let your chlorine drop and the water can turn cloudy, develop an odor, and stop being sanitary; keep it in range and the water stays clear and worry-free.

These granules are the everyday workhorse of a chlorine-based spa: you add a small dose regularly to hold a steady residual, and the same product doubles as a shock treatment at a higher dose when the water needs a reset.

Pro Tip: Add your chlorine in the evening after the spa has been used, with the pump running and the cover open for 15 minutes. Dosing after use replaces the chlorine that bathers just consumed, and adding it at night lets it work while no one's soaking — so the water is balanced and ready by morning.

What's in the Box
  • 1 x SpaPure Chlorinating Granules (resealable container, granular — available in 1 lb or 2 lb, depending on the size you select)
Key Features
  • Concentrated chlorine formula — 97% dichlor for fast, effective sanitizing
  • Controls bacteria — keeps spa water sanitary between and during use
  • Maintains sanitizer levels and water clarity — holds a steady chlorine residual for consistently clear water
  • Fast-dissolving granular — broadcasts evenly and goes to work quickly, with no slow-release wait
  • Dual purpose — routine sanitizer at the standard dose, chlorine shock at double the dose
  • Two sizes — 1 lb for smaller spas or lighter use, 2 lb for frequent users or better value
How It Works

When you broadcast the granules into circulating water, the dichlor dissolves and releases free available chlorine — the active form that destroys bacteria and oxidizes contaminants on contact. The goal is to keep that free chlorine in the 2–4 ppm range at all times, which is why regular additions and frequent testing matter: chlorine gets used up as it works, and warm, heavily used water uses it up faster.

Dichlor is a stabilized chlorine, meaning it contains cyanuric acid that shields the chlorine from burning off too quickly. That's an advantage day to day, but the cyanuric acid stays in the water and slowly accumulates over time.

Pro Tip: Because dichlor slowly builds cyanuric acid (CYA), plan to drain and refill your spa every 3–4 months. When CYA climbs too high, your chlorine gets sluggish and you'll find yourself adding more and more to hold the same reading. A fresh fill resets the water and restores how well your chlorine works.

Directions for Use

Always add with the circulation pump running and the filter operating, broadcasting the granules over the surface of the water. Use a test kit frequently to determine and maintain the proper free chlorine residual — actual dosages vary with how often the spa is used and the water temperature.

Routine Application

  1. With the circulation pump on, add 1 tablespoon (about 1/2 ounce) per 500 gallons of water.
  2. Make regular additions as needed to maintain 2–4 ppm of free available chlorine at all times.
  3. Test frequently with a test kit and adjust your dose to hold the target residual.

Shock Treatment

  1. Add 2 tablespoons (about 1 ounce) per 500 gallons of water, keeping the pump and filter running.
  2. Shock at least once a week, and more often when the spa is used frequently or by several people.

Pro Tip: This one product covers two jobs — routine sanitizing at the standard dose and a chlorine shock at double the dose — so you don't need a separate chlorine shock on the shelf. If you'd rather shock without adding any more chlorine or cyanuric acid, reach for a non-chlorine oxidizer instead.

Compatibility

SpaPure Chlorinating Granules are designed for spas run on a chlorine program — they are the primary sanitizer in that system. They are not intended for bromine spas, which use a different sanitizer chemistry.

They work hand in hand with the rest of your routine: pH and alkalinity balancers to keep the water in range so the chlorine performs, a non-chlorine oxidizer like SpaPure Oxidizing Shock when you want to clear bather waste without adding more chlorine or cyanuric acid, and SpaPure test strips to confirm your free chlorine sits in the 2–4 ppm target before and after dosing.

SpaPure® Brand FAQs

What is SpaPure, and who makes it?

SpaPure is a line of spa and hot tub water care products from Haviland Pool & Spa, a 100% employee-owned American manufacturer with more than 55 years of pool and spa experience. Haviland's Pool & Spa division began in 1968 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and all SpaPure products are made in the USA.

Is SpaPure formulated specifically for spas, or is it pool chemicals in smaller bottles?

SpaPure is engineered specifically for spas and hot tubs. Spa water is a different challenge from pool water — far less volume, a much higher bather load per gallon, and hotter temperatures that accelerate everything. SpaPure's formulas are concentrated and dosed for that environment rather than scaled-down pool products.

Can I use SpaPure products with my chlorine, bromine, or salt water system?

Yes. SpaPure makes products for chlorine, bromine, and salt/mineral programs, plus balancers, shocks, clarifiers, and specialty treatments that work alongside any of them. Match the sanitizer-specific products to your system, and use the balancers and oxidizers regardless of which sanitizer you run. If you're not sure what fits your setup, a quick water test will point you to the right products.

Why buy SpaPure from an authorized dealer like Leisure Time Inc.?

Buying from an authorized dealer means you get fresh, correctly stored product — spa chemicals degrade with age and poor storage — backed by people who can actually help you use it. Leisure Time Inc. has carried spa water care for decades, and our team can match products to your specific spa and water chemistry. Chemicals sold far below market price on third-party marketplaces are often expired, mishandled, or gray-market, with no support behind them.

Why do some SpaPure products ship ground only and can't be returned by mail?

Certain spa chemicals — chlorine and bromine products, oxidizers, and some acids — are classified as hazardous materials by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Federal regulations require them to ship by ground rather than air and prohibit consumers from mailing them back. Products with this restriction are noted on the product page. If you have unopened chemicals you no longer need, you can return them in person at one of our showrooms or contact us about your options.

How do I know which SpaPure products my spa needs?

Start with a water test. Testing tells you what your water actually needs instead of guessing — which sanitizer level to adjust, whether to balance pH or alkalinity, and when to shock. You can test at home with SpaPure test strips, or bring a water sample to any Leisure Time showroom for free in-store testing and a product recommendation. You can also call us and we'll walk you through it.
