I’m teaching my baby to swim and she became too big for our bath tub. We have a Jacuzzi outside (Portable Inflatable Spa) and I want to use it as our place for swimming lessons. What kind of chemicals can I put in it so it’ll fight the bacteria. Are there any safe methods/chemicals which will b safe for the Spa and the most important for my baby. (She likes to drink the water , well sh swallows a bit of it.)
Potassium and Hydrochloric Acid
Baking soda to neutralize/lower PH or Borax to raise the PH. Chlorine is fine to use as long as you give it 24 hours after shocking the pool or 4 hours after a regular dosing.
If you can afford it though, switch the whole system over to a salt water system - completely natural and safe and once the system is established you don’t put any chemicals in it at all.
Grew up with a pool in the backyard and always hated the weekly pool shock because we couldn’t use the pool for the whole day, no matter how hot it was or how much we bugged!
