Maintaining clean and healthy water in your spa is essential for a safe and enjoyable experience, especially in warm water where bacteria and contaminants can multiply quickly. While most spas rely on bromine for sanitation due to it’s proven effectiveness in warmer water, an increasing number of spa owners are now seeking alternatives that are gentler on the skin, odour-free and more environmentally conscious. Comfort, water feel and overall enjoyment are becoming just as important as sanitation itself, particularly for people who use their spa regularly. Poppits Chlorine Free Spa Chemicals offer a reliable, chlorine-free solution that makes spa water feel noticeably softer and fresher without compromising on effective sanitation or water safety. Poppits comes in two main products the traditional Poppits Sanitiser and Poppits 395, a more concentrate product which also contains Silver Nitrate.

Why Consider Chlorine Free Spa Chemicals?
Traditional chlorine and bromine sanitisers are widely used because they are highly effective at killing bacteria, controlling algae and maintaining safe water conditions. Poppit sanitisers were designed for sensitive people with allergy to common disinfectants (chlorine, bromine). For spa owners looking for a gentler and more pleasant soaking experience, chlorine free sanitisers like Poppits are becoming increasingly popular. These systems are particularly appealing to people with sensitive skin or respiratory issues, and anyone who finds traditional sanitisers uncomfortable or overpowering. By choosing a chlorine-free approach, spa owners can enjoy water that feels cleaner and calmer, creating a more natural, relaxing spa experience without sacrificing hygiene or peace of mind.
How Poppits Works
Poppits Chlorine Free Spa Chemicals use hydrogen peroxide as the active sanitiser. Hydrogen peroxide is a powerful oxidiser that releases active oxygen to destroy bacteria, viruses and organic contaminants. Unlike chlorine, Poppits does not form chloramines (the compounds responsible for the strong “pool chlorine smell” and eye or skin irritation). As it breaks down, it releases only water and oxygen, leaving spa water fresh, odour-free and environmentally friendly.
Poppits sanitiser is used in conjunction with Poppits Quick Fix a chlorine free oxidiser, similar to a shock treatment it is used to oxidise or “burn up” excess contaminants quickly. Poppit Quick Fix is recommended during the initial start-up of your new spa & when you refresh the water and also for weekly maintenance. Poppits is endorsed by the National Asthma Council of Australia, making it a reassuring choice for anyone with respiratory concerns. With this endorsement, you can relax knowing your spa water is safe and gentle for everyone, even those with sensitivities.
Comparing Poppits Spa Sanitiser and Peroxsil 395
While Poppits Spa Sanitiser is an effective chlorine-free spa sanitiser, some spa owners may be interested in their alternative chlorine-free sanitiser, Peroxsil 395. Peroxsil 395 combines hydrogen peroxide with silver nitrate, providing continuous antibacterial protection. The silver ions work between doses to help control bacteria, which can be especially useful in outdoor spas exposed to sunlight, dust and debris. Both options share the benefits of being chlorine-free, odourless and gentle on skin, but Poppits Spa Sanitiser is ideal for users seeking a more affordable sanitising solution.
Supporting Your Sanitiser with a Non-Chlorine Oxidiser
Even with a peroxide based system like Poppits, regular maintenance is important. Non-chlorine shocks such as Quick Fix help remove body oils, lotions and other organic contaminants that peroxide alone may not fully address. Adding Quick Fix weekly or after heavy spa use improves water clarity, reduces peroxide consumption and ensures your Poppits Chlorine Free Spa Chemicals work at their best.
Maintaining Clean and Balanced Water
Like any sanitising system, Poppits is most effective when used in a well-maintained spa. Consistent monitoring of sanitiser levels (usually around 60–100 ppm) is essential for safe water. pH and alkalinity should also be regularly checked to ensure optimal water balance. Regular shocking with Quick Fix helps keep water crystal clear, reduces peroxide usage and prevents buildup of organic contaminants.
