Maintaining a clean and healthy spa cannot be stressed enough!

Loose debris and exposure to the elements can create a health risk that involves the use of special chemicals to get rid of. If we do not employ chemicals and sanitizers into our clean up regimen, our hot tubs will be as good as dead. Remember, hot water attracts bacteria more effectively than cold water so take note. Let’s discuss the important spa accessories of sanitizers to improve the state of our whirlpool tub and outdoor living experience.

Spotless, clear water cannot be achieved without the use of spa chemicals and sanitizers. Sanitizers serve the purpose of breaking down dead organic material and micro organisms that feed into the water – and eliminates it entirely. As you know, chemicals break down and start working after coming into contact with spa microgens. A recommended hot tub and whirlpool tub sanitizer are Bromine tablets and Zorbo. Another word for using chemicals to blast water with health is shock treatment. In retrospect, these spa accessories shock the water – converting it from germ infested cesspools to clean and safe in a matter of minutes.

Another important maintenance operation to perform on hot tubs, whirlpools, and spas are maintaining positive water balance. 

In certain situations, water can become infected if not properly cleaned by alkaline, a high pH acid that rips into the finish of cheaper hot tubs such as fiberglass ones. Low pH also does the same thing, but on a lesser scale. In some cases, individuals can sense the feeling of high pH or low pH by its ¨hard water¨ or ¨soft water¨ feel – measured by the dissolved calcium in the water. Attend to this by using sanitizers again to maintain a health water balance. By exercising proper spa chemical upkeep, water will continue gliding over your skin like a hot knife through butter.
