LEISURE TIME Spa 56 Chlorinating Granules for Hot Tubs, 5 lb — Fast‑Dissolving Stabilized Chlorine

LEISURE TIME E5 Spa 56 Chlorinating Granules are a fast-dissolving, spa-specific chlorine sanitizer designed to keep hot tub water clear and free of bacteria and algae.

Designed for hot tubs and spas, Leisure Time Spa 56 delivers concentrated, EPA-approved chlorinating power in a granular form that dissolves quickly and distributes evenly through small volumes of water. This 5 lb bucket offers a balance of performance and value, using sodium dichloro-s-triazinetrione dihydrate as the active ingredient to sanitize, control algae, and reduce organic contaminants that cloud water. The formula is made for routine dosing and compatible with most standard chlorination systems used in residential spas.

How do these granules keep spa water safe and clear?

Spa 56 works by releasing stabilized chlorine when the granules dissolve; this chlorine oxidizes organics and inactivates microorganisms that can create cloudy or odorous water. Because the product is formulated for spas, it is concentrated so you need less product per treatment than pool-grade chlorines. Regular use as part of a sanitation routine helps maintain balanced, swim-ready water.

• Active ingredient: sodium dichloro-s-triazinetrione dihydrate for stabilized free chlorine
• Quick-dissolving granules spread evenly in small water volumes
• Reduces organic contaminants that consume chlorine
• Helps control algae growth between shock and maintenance doses

How should I use Leisure Time Spa 56 in my spa or hot tub?

Use Spa 56 according to your spa’s manufacturer guidelines and the product label directions; dissolve granules in a bucket of spa water before adding when instructed to avoid direct contact with surfaces. Typical dosing depends on spa capacity and current sanitizer levels—test water and adjust dosage to reach the recommended free chlorine range. For routine maintenance, follow a predictable schedule instead of large, infrequent doses.

• Dissolve granules in water before adding for even distribution
• Test free chlorine and pH before and after treatment
• Adjust dose by spa volume—refer to label for exact amounts
• Use as part of a regular maintenance program, not a one-time fix

Will Spa 56 work with my spa’s equipment and ozone or bromine systems?

Spa 56 is formulated for chlorine sanitizing systems and is compatible with most standard hot tub equipment and materials when used as directed. It is intended for chlorine-based sanitation; if you use a bromine system or an advanced oxidation (ozone) device, check compatibility—chlorine can be used alongside ozone but may not be ideal with bromine-only programs. Always consult your spa manufacturer and the product label for mixing and compatibility guidance.

• Compatible with standard chlorine sanitizers and most spa materials
• Works with ozone systems but follow combined-use guidance
• Not intended as a direct replacement in bromine-only programs
• Check manufacturer recommendations for any unique equipment

How should I store and handle this 5 lb bucket safely?

Keep the bucket sealed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat and direct sunlight; granules are a chemical oxidizer and should be kept separate from acids, household cleaners, and organic materials. Use gloves and eye protection when handling concentrated product, and never mix with other sanitizers or chemicals in the same container. Dispose of empty pails per local regulations and keep out of reach of children and pets.

• Store sealed in a cool, dry place away from incompatible chemicals
• Wear gloves and eye protection when measuring and adding
• Do not mix with acids, other sanitizers, or organic materials
• Keep container out of reach of children and pets
