Hot Tub Supplies
Maintaining a hot tub involves keeping the water clean and free of harmful bacteria. Spa chemicals are used to keep water clear for 3 months or more between having to change out the water. A sanitizer such as bromine or chlorine takes care of the bacteria, sometimes with help from an ozonator. Test strips or a water test kit are used to monitor the level of sanitizer in the water.
PH is balanced between 7.2-7.6 using pH plus or pH minus as needed. The water is shocked every week or two to reinvigorate and reactivate the chlorine (or bromine) sanitizer in the water. These supplies as well as spare filters (change the filter annually!) are available online. Take care of your spa and your spa will take care of you!
