Tip 1: Keeping Your Water Clean

As warm water attracts more bacterial growth than cold water, you need to ensure the water in your hot tub is sanitised on a regular basis to avoid build-up of dirt and mould.

This is to avoid bacterial growth and general dirt building up in your water. It needs to be cleaned on a regular basis using bromine or Chlorine tablets. If you don’t regularly sanitise your hot tub water, the quality will quickly deteriorate, including bacterial growth, cloudy water and even white mould. These problems can be time-consuming to eradicate and in some cases you will need to completely drain the hot tub and replace it with clean water.

There are two ways of using bromine or Chlorine to clean your water. Firstly, you can purchase bromine or Chlorine granules. You simply sprinkle the required amount into your hot tub until the water reaches the acceptable level. You can also use the pH testing strips to check if you need to add more granules to the water. The amount of granules you need to use will depend on the hot tub you have and the required level you need to achieve. Alternatively, you can use bromine/Chlorine tablets. You simply dispense a tablet via the dispenser and the tablet slowly releases the sanatiser to clean the water and leave it looking crystal clear.

Our hot tub chemical experts believe it’s vital to test your water everyday with one of the pH strips to keep your water quality at an optimum level; regardless of how often you use your hot tub.
