Today, water is a scarce and essential commodity. We must all consume it responsibly and intelligently.
But…
What can I do if I own a spa?
Something as simple as carrying out the correct weekly maintenance of your spa will make its use and that of its water more respectful of the environment.
To achieve this, it is essential to follow the instructions of experts and carefully read the instructions for the type of hot tub you have.
Learn how to maintain your spa correctly
Attention! Today we bring you some simple steps you can follow to improve the cleanliness of your spa.
How can I keep my spa water clean?
Spa water should be changed at least every three months but it all depends on your usage.
If you use your spa frequently, it is essential to check the water every two days to keep it clean.
During this time, it is important to observe if you notice that the colour has changed or is the right colour. This constant checking will ensure that you only need to change the spa water twice a year.
The reality is that the number of times it is changed also depends on the personal requirements of each user. If during these checks you notice that the hot tub needs more water, add the necessary water.
Check the pH, chlorine/bromine and lime levels.
In order to keep the water in perfect condition for as long as possible, it is necessary to check the following parameters on a weekly basis.
Recommended pH values: Between 7.2 and 7.8ppm.
Recommended chlorine values: Between 1 and 3 ppm.
Recommended lime values: Between 80 and 140 ppm.
Clean filters monthly
It is important to remove any debris that may build up inside the spa as this can cause problems in the long run. This process is very important as it will help to extend the life of your equipment and allow the water to stay cleaner for longer.
On the other hand, even if you have strict cleaning rules, it is important to regularly check that there are no hazards that can get trapped in the filter.
Finally, it is important to change the filter every year. This will help to keep it in good condition.
It is important not to eat in the spa
Eating in the spa can make the water dirty, as well as generate waste. Avoid this.
The filter protects the hot tub motor so that nothing can get into the filter and clog it. Eating in the spa can foul the water, as well as create debris that can affect the proper operation of the hot tub. Avoid this.
Shower before entering the spa
Just like in a swimming pool, it is important to shower before going into the spa to prevent the oils released from your body from dirtying the water.
Use suitable products
Nowadays, in many specialised shops you can find chemical products that will help you to keep your spa water in good condition. It is important that before buying any of them, you read carefully what chemicals they contain.
Check the manufacturer’s instruction manual to make sure that the products you use will not cause any damage to the spa.
Covering the spa
To keep the spa clean, it is important not to forget to prevent it from getting dirty when it is not in use.
The use of a spa cover protects and prevents dirt from entering the water. It is also an essential option for outdoor spas as it insulates and protects the spa from environmental agents and objects that may fall into it, such as small toys.
Here are our tips.
Go for a rational and more conscious use.
Make sure you follow these recommendations to make better use of your spa water!
