Usefull Tips For Clean Hot Tub, Jacuzzi and Spa Water.

1. Detergent is a major contaminant of your hot tub water, to combat this place the swimwear to be used in the spa into your washing machine on a quick wash with no washing powder or comfort softener this will ensure the garments are rinsed and all detergent deposits are removed. This will also help to reduce what we call " foaming " which is a by product of detergent saturation.
2. Ensure all users shower before use, ensuring that the likes of deodorant, hair spray, hair gel, make up, perfume etc are removed before entering the spa.
3. Use hydrotherapy oils, gels, liquids sparingly and if you can manage without them do so, these will only affect the water quality.
4. Do clean filters on a regular basis as instructed by your hot tub manufacturer, this will make a significant difference to your water, do not expect clear sparkling water if you cannot spare the time to clean the filters. Use a filter cleaner once a month to de-grease the filters in addition to the weekly cleaning which is a minimum requirement. Also change the hot tub water on a regular basis making sure to " spa flush " the spa at least once a year to help reduce the build up of chemicals in the pump, pipes and heaters.
5. Chemicals must be applied as instructed by the spa manufacturer, this may be chlorine, bromine or such products as Aquafinesse or Aquasafe 90. With all products the water chemistry must be considered at all times and testing may be required with some chemical systems.
6. When using your hot tub or spa advise other users to treat the area around the spa as "a clean area" this applies in particular with respect to the younger users who will give little thought to running around the garden in their bare feet and then entering the hot tub. With a small amount of effort and common sense procedures your hot tub, spa or jacuzzi water could be clean and sparkling all the time.
