Whether you possess a home spa or a commercial hot tub, it is important to have sparkling the water. Its a place where somebody can find relief from headaches and joint pains and stress as a home hot tub is where you family can spend a lot of time.. Hot tub water that is dirty can pose a major health problem, so we need to talk about spa cleaners.

If you own a spa, or a lodge/resort/inn that has a spa, you have to take care that the hot tub water with spa cleaners to ensure that the water is sparkling or in most drastic cases, lawsuits, penalties, termination of licenses and permits not to mention extra health inspections by negligence of a hot tub can happen. Just a few basic rules is all you need to follow to keep the hot tub water clean.

A ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Be pro active and do not wait for the water to get dirty. You can install additional filters and spa cover (when not in use), to make certain that grime and debris doesn’t find their way into the hot tub water.

Regular maintenance on your filter is crucial.
Cleaning the filter regularly is imperative if you want the spa water condition to be of high standards. Hot tub cleaning of the filter on a normal basis is crucial to the cleanliness of the water. Use chemicals that can clean filters without damaging them, and right chemicals to wash those filters so they do not get damaged. Hard water can cause tough-to-get rid of deposits of minerals on the filters. Use filter spa cleaners that are recommended by the manufacture to get rid of those deposits. Change filters frequently – according to a most estimates, filters in a commercial hot tubs maintain a duration of 10 months before needing to be cleaned or changed.

PH balance is imperative to proper maintenance
Normally water is suppose to be neutral and at a pH of around 7, but environmental factors such as pollution, locality water source can change the acidity/alkalinity. Discouraging growth of algae, your hot tub must possess a pH balance between 7.2 to 7.6. Using chemicals to preserve this is the most ordinary way. If the pH/alkalinity are maintained at the correct levels, you can also use less sanitizing chemicals to maintain clarity.

Rinse out all chemicals thoroughly after cleaning of the filter.
Water with high concentrations of chemicals that are left after the cleaning operation can pose a health danger. So rinse those chemicals out well before somebody uses the spa again. Do this by soaking them in a couple buckets of fresh water with flushing water through them a few times with a garden hose.

Just a few items to consider when using spa cleaners to maintain your hot tub.

Hot Tub Supplies – Where can I get them….

Guest Blogger — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 20:42:25 +0000

Spas or as some people call them hot tubs, are very popular these days. There are so may styles and type of spas, where do you begin… Its like going down the cereal isle at your grocery store. To much selection.. right. And when it comes to hot tub supplies, same thing.. lots of choices.. No problems though.. I’d rather have too much selection than not enough..

What we are seeing a lot of this year (I would imagine because of the recession) is our customers purchasing more parts and hot tub supplies than usual. They are keeping their spas running longer as apposed to just junking them and buying a new one. Tons of switches, boards, and heater elements have been purchased this year. Many of our customers don’t know what parts they need to purchase, so we have them tell us the symptoms that they are experiencing and we can usually walk them through to purchase the correct parts. It’s a good thing that we have such a huge selection of hot tub supplies, because it is all about being able to help our customers out. Every single person in the company has that philosophy.

Keeping your spa stocked up with hot tub supplies is an easy task if you can purchase all your items from one source. Here is Chicken Coop Hq take on spa’s,

“The hot tubs are truly a dream for many people. It is actually the best way to relax with family and friends. Nothing can give so much peace and soothing effect like the hot tub. Hot tub offers many benefits and is completely superb, but it demands a lot of look-after and time. Preserving the hot tub is very essential or else it may cost you a lot. Some of the most essential things that are required for maintaining the hot tubs are as follows:

Hot tub supplies are yet another essential thing for your hot tub. These days, the hot tub supplies are very easily available in the market. But before you make any selection amid so many options, it is very important to make a detailed study about them and then select. Make sure that you chose the best one that ensures complete safety to your hot tub. Hiring a hot tub professional can also be great and very useful.”

As it gets cooler, we are spending more time in our hot tub. And keeping stocked up on all our hot tub supplies this year is even more important..

Accessorize Your Hot Tub With Spa Supplies

Guest Blogger — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 14:20:52 +0000

We purchase a spa 2 years ago. It has been one of the most enjoyable things we have gotten for some rest and relaxation in a long time. I enjoy the rush of the water through the spa jets and it helps my aches and pains of being a automobile mechanic the first 20 years of my professional career. And since then we have also purchased spa supplies to accessorize our hot tub.

What do I mean accessorize? Well there are tons of items available out there to make your spa more comfortable and enjoyable. We have a detached spa from our inground pool. The seats are not molded like a portable spa would. So basically your are sitting on concrete. What we have purchased to make our seating more comfortable are inflatable spa cushions. Along with those we got spa pillows. These is one of the spa supplies I enjoy the most and the pillows cushion your head in case you want to lean back. Let me tell you, if it wasn’t for the hot temperatures we run our spa at, I would be in there much longer.

What we have also added that is real cool is a spa bar. It has a table and three stools. The table butts up right against the outer wall of the spa, and is great for when you entertain. Your guests can sit up right beside the people in the spa. It is a very cool item. We also keep our cold drinks on top of the table when we are in enjoying the spa. Drinks are served….lol

The latest addition to our spa supplies arena is spa steps. This makes it great for smaller kids, or people that have a difficult time stepping to get in and out. Ours are made of molded plastic and the steps are textured to make them non-slippery. I’m more the kind of person that just jumps in like the Dukes of Hazzard boys did in the television show from back in the 70′s when they jumped in and out of shier car. Boy I just dated myself.. My wife really enjoys them as it helps here greatly getting in and out.

Oh I forgot one other thing that is a great addition to our spa supplies. Its a battery operated spa vacuum. This makes it so easy to spot clean the spa. We have a pressure side automatic cleaner for the pool, and also a manual vacuum and hose that you hook up to the telescopic pole. You can’t use the automatic pool cleaner for the spa, and the manual vacuum you can use, but it is very cumbersome. The battery powered pool cleaner makes it real easy to just do a quick clean when needed, and since it is self-contained cleaning up is quick. I love this accessory too.

There are many more spa supplies available, but these are items we have, and they make our spa experiences much more enjoyable. If you have a spa, I encourage you to look into these kinds of items and enjoy your spa like we do.
