Know before you buy

Yes, Leisure Time Renew is a non-chlorine oxidizer designed to be compatible with most sanitizing systems, including chlorine, bromine, and biguanide.
No, this is an oxidizer, not a primary sanitizer. While it helps eliminate organic contaminants and odors, you still need to maintain your regular sanitizer levels to keep the water safe.
It is recommended for weekly maintenance to keep your water clear and fresh. You can also use it during startup or whenever the water appears cloudy or develops an odor.
Leisure Time Renew is pH buffered, meaning it is designed to have a minimal impact on your water balance. However, it is always good practice to test your water after any chemical addition to ensure it stays within the recommended 7.2–7.8 range.
It effectively breaks down organic contaminants such as body oils, soaps, deodorants, and perspiration. By oxidizing these materials, it helps prevent odors and keeps your spa water looking clear.
