Hot Tub Supplies
Keeping the chemistry in your hot tub correct is important and hot tub supplies or hot tub chemicals are needed to keep the water consistent. You should also drain your water every 3 to 4 months, depending on usage. While drained, make sure you clean the walls of the tub with bleach and water to kill any bacteria that may grow. Clean your filter every month and more frequently with more frequent usage. There are many online stores that sale discount hot tub supplies and offer free shipping. Cheap is always better in my opinion.
In the initial treatment of fresh water, let the water reach 80 degrees Fahrenheit before you start adding any hot tub supplies and chemicals. The warm water will help the granular chemicals dissolve. First test the pH level of the water with a testing strip. Adjust the pH by using pH up or pH down, and wait 30 minutes before retesting the pH. Then use a protective product to help keep the water clear and protect the metal parts within the unit. Using an enzyme product will also help keep the water clear and reduces scum-lines and odors cause by the natural oil in the skin.
To sanitize the spa water, you will need to choose one of the three hot tub supplies: 2-part bromine system, a bromine tablet, or a granular chlorine system. Test your spa water weekly to make sure you have a proper sanitizer level; if you are using an ozonator you can keep the bromine or chlorine level low. With an ozonator you spa will use less of the sanitizer because the ozone is killing most of the bacteria. Because you are using less hot tub supplies with an ozonator, balancing becomes easier and takes less time.
