The product works great, we are on our 4th tub.To the people who say they can’t get the lid off…you must be special. I have NEVER had an issue getting the lid off, and I’ve never had to use a tool. You break the seal on the red lock first by squeezing very firmly up and simultaneously start twisting it open back and forth (it does not lift off.) It’s not hard.We keep a measuring cup in our locked deck box with the other chemicals, and shock when needed, usually 1/4 cup for our size tub. Run jets with top open for 30 mins and voilà. Bromine levels stay steady.

Great product for our hot tub as we went away from chlorine

Tore out the red tab and it still won't open. The lid doesn't rotate at all. Even with the red tab gone, it's completely fixed into place.Edit: they've reached out and offered a full refund, so I'm switching from one star to five since they've at least got excellent customer service.

I use this for my 4k gallon swim spa and it works great. Keeps it clean and clear. Doesn't affect any of the chem levels. We dose once per week and go through one tub per month. Totally worth it.

No one, but no one, should buy this product in this packaging. In theory, you use some sort of tool to lift the "catch" out of bucket top from the lid and then unscrew the top. In reality, the top is screwed on so tight, there is no way to make this a one-person job. You need one hand to hold the bottom, another to torque the top, and then a third to hold the "catch" up, and that's if you have enough strength to actually loosen the top when the "catch" is in release position. No one I know has three hands, so it turns into a two person job, IF you have a second person. As anyone who has ever tried a two-person job that involves any amount of force/torque, you don't want either person holding a tool like a screwdriver. Just a bad, bad design that just doesn't work and is bound to draw blood, if not poke an eye out. I ended up using a utility knife to cut a big hole in the top close to the edge, then cut the top edge through the lip of the bucket and poured the contents into my old 6 lb container that opens and closes with a simple twist.

This product works as advertised and has been EXTREMELY effective in keeping our water clear. Complaints about the lid on the container are real. It is extremely difficult to open and I don't see any reason for such a complex lid design...the company must have gotten sold on this design from a family member or someone they owed a favor because no sane person would think its easy to open or use. But it's worth the headache for how the treatment works!!

Addendum: I wrote a review months after purchasing this product about my frustrations with the inability to open the container. The company reached out to me immediately and issued a refund for my troubles. Excellent customer service! The product worked great, so I’d say it’s worth buying and shooting your shot at getting the lid off. If you struggle with this, reach out to the company and they will make things right.Initial review:I saw the reviews of others saying that the lid does not come off. I figured that had to be a user error and there had to be a way to get it off. Bought the product anyway. Discovered that the reviews are true: there truly is no way to remove the lid. I ended up having to drill a hole in the lid, therefore the next time I went to use it, the product was a solid block that was not usable anymore. The product itself worked well, but terribly designed packaging. Would not recommend it for that reason.

Despite using less than recommended, this stuff smells so strong! Wouldn’t buy again. The smell lingers for days. Concerning.
