ChemConnect® Chlorine Dispenser: What is it and how does it work?

The Bestway ChemConnect® is a unique chemical dispenser that attaches to the inside of a Lay-Z-Spa hot tub or Bestway above-ground pool. The ChemConnect® is a great alternative to traditional floating chlorine dispensers, enhancing the distribution speed of chemicals in your spa or pool

What is a chlorine diffuser used for? 

Whether you have a ChemConnect® dispenser or a standard floating one, these chemical dispensers are used for maintaining chlorine or bromine levels in the water using tablets. It's not advisable to place chlorine tablets directly into your spa or pool water, as they can settle at the bottom, potentially damaging or discolouring the liner. 

How does the ChemConnect® dispenser work? 

The ChemConnect® diffuser is engineered to distribute the chemicals in your chlorine, bromine, or active oxygen tablets evenly throughout your spa or pool water. By connecting to a valve on the hot tub or pool's wall, it utilises a water jet to ensure a consistent distribution of the chemicals. You can adjust the intensity of dispersion by rotating the diffuser cap to allow more or less water through.

What tablets do I use with the ChemConnect®? 

The ChemConnect® is compatible with 1" diameter tablets and can hold up to 4 tablets at a time. For the correct number of tablets, refer to the instructions on your chemical product packaging. We recommend these multi-function chlorine tablets

How often should chlorine levels be checked? 

Check the pH and chlorine levels in your pool at least every two days. Use a test strip kit for accurate results. Aim for a pH between 6.8 and 7.6, and free chlorine value between 1 ppm and 3 ppm. If chlorine levels are too high, refrain from swimming until they return to safe levels, and adjust the diffusion intensity of your ChemConnect® as needed.

ChemConnect® vs. traditional floating chlorine diffuser

If your pool or spa comes equipped with a ChemConnect® dispenser, there’s no need to purchase a floating chlorine dispenser. The ChemConnect® will effectively circulate chlorine or your chosen treatment product throughout your pool. However, if your pool doesn’t include a ChemConnect®, we recommend getting a floating diffuser. It makes maintenance easier and automatically regulates chlorine levels, helping to keep your pool water clean and enjoyable for swimming. 

Can I leave the chlorine diffuser in while swimming? 

It’s best to remove the ChemConnect® Chlorine Diffuser (or any floating diffuser) when using your hot tub or swimming in your pool to prevent skin or eye irritation. You can simply pop it back in once you’re done.
