The powerful TubTab formulation can, when used for the very first time, loosen all sorts of gunk trapped in your hot tub plumbing. This could be dirt, oils, scale, biofilm, etc. These wastes will eat up your sanitizer residual a little faster than your normal rate. Toss in an extra BroTab to keep levels up. But this won’t last long. These loosened wastes will be destroyed by the sanitizer or get filtered out. Following this you can relax in your tub knowing that it is far cleaner than before using TubTabs. After this point, you should notice that your sanitizer consumption drops significantly because your tub is so clean. Make sure to monitor the residual levels and adjust accordingly to maintain the proper levels.

Simple. We sell through an online ecommerce platform (2020’s style) while the others sell through bricks and mortar stores (1970’s style). The savings get passed down.

There are two options. The first, if you want to keep the water your currently using, continue using your sanitizer of choice according to the user directions, and start using TubTabs right away.

The second, ditch your water, give your tub and filter a good clean, and refill the tub with water. Before adding any other chemicals make sure you balance total alkalinity, pH, and hardness to the appropriate levels. Then to start, add two TubTabs and two BroTabs for every 2000 L of water. Every week afterwards, use one TubTab and one BroTab for normal use.

Normal use: 1 TubTab and 1 BroTab weekly
Heavier use (multiple people, daily): 1 TubTab and 2 BroTabs
Party Party: 2 TubTabs and 2 BroTabs

Generally, a TubTab will take, at most, 30 minutes to completely dissolve. Some components of the TubTab will dissolve faster than others, so don’t be alarmed if you see a few little specks still floating around. They will dissolve eventually. The BroTabs are meant to slowly dissolve, constantly releasing a little sanitizer into the tub. They will last most of the week before completely dissolved.

As always, we’re aiming to keep this simple. Store your tablets in a cool, dark, and dry place. Make sure that the package is firmly closed when not is use. That’s it! Happy tubbing!

Clean filter and add 2 TubTabs and 2 Brotabs. If this doesn’t fix it – Fresh fill then balance water. Then back to normal TubTab and BroTabs for maintenance.

Part of the magic of TubTabs is that it loosens dirt and gunk from all substrates (the tub shell, the pipes, the pump, the jets etc) Hence, your filter may be overloaded the first couple times and you’ll need to scoop this gunk away.

We have a subscription service that will bring 3 months worth of TubTabs (and BroTabs if you buy the kit) right to your door 4 times per year.

You don’t need to buy BroTabs for TubTabs to work – however, you do need to have some sort of sanitizer to accompany TubTabs to work. We recommend BroTabs as it is a good quality Bromine that is gentler on your skin and at a good price.

Best not to, but it’s certainly not the end of the world. One can get pretty good at opening the pouch and rolling a tab into the skimmer without touching it. These products may irritate your eyes so best to wash your hands immediately after contact.

Absolutely! The TubTab system is perfect for a Swim Spa. Just be sure to adjust the dosing requirements according to the volume of water in your Swim Spa.
