Maintaining Clean Hot Tub Water
Keeping hot tub water sanitary and clean is extremely important. To ensure that your hot tub maintains a hygienic state, it is vital to properly clean and sterilize your water.
First and foremost, you must keep in mind that your hot tub needs to be drained at a least once every 4 months. The build-up of chemicals in the water can cause skin problems and other issues. If the hot tub is used by more than 2 adults for more than 30 minutes a day it is essential to empty the water more frequently.
Sanitizers and purifiers need to be added to the water often to keep ph levels correct and safe for soaking. If you wish to have a hot tub that is free of bacteria, frequent use of chemicals can prevent problems.
Balancing your water is an important step in keeping your spa in good shape. The ph and alkalinity of your water need to be tested to ensure that eye irritation, skin irritation, cloudy water and spa damage do not occur.
There are two products that will help keep your water clean and healthy. Clarifiers basically turn bacteria into a solid so that it can then be caught in a filter. If you are going to use clarifiers we suggest natural enzyme to prevent a scum line from forming at the waterline. The second product we recommend is a stain & scale preventative agent. A stain & scale agent prevents the water from oxidizing and becoming stained by minerals.
Common problems that you might encounter as a spa owner are discolored water and foam. These can easily be rectified by draining your spa and refilling it. Stain & scale agents can also help to cleanse discolored water.
