Hot Tub Chemicals

Hot Tub Chemicals

Your hot tub is a your special place for pleasure and relaxation. The right hot tub chemicals help keep it clean, safe, and fun with minimal effort. Because hot tubs are warm, they can quickly become hot spots for algae and microorganisms. The water’s pH levels can become
unbalanced, and stray debris can also impact your water quality.

The experts at BuenoSpa can help you choose the right chemicals to ensure your hot tub is a safe, clean environment. Spend more time enjoying your tub when you understand exactly what chemicals you need thanks to our quick hot tub chemicals guide.

Types of Chemicals for Hot Tub Maintenance

An effective hot tub chemical kit will probably contain one of each of
the following solutions.

Sanitizers

Chlorine or bromine are two types of hot tub sanitizer, both widely used for disinfecting water. These chemicals kill bacteria and other microorganisms — so you know your water is as germ-free as possible

pH Balancers

The pH balance of water tells you how acidic or alkaline (basic) it is. If your water is too acidic, it has a low pH — use alkaline-based chemicals to rebalance it and prevent the water from irritating your skin. Water with a high pH needs an acidic compound to bring it back down. Test the water’s pH levels regularly and adjust as
needed.

Shock Treatments

If organic contaminants have gained access to your hot tub, you need a shock treatment. These chemical treatments include a high dose of oxidizers which quickly break organic compounds down and create a clean environment.

Algaecides

Algae love any environment that’s warm and moist. As your hot tub
cools between uses, it becomes the perfect place for algae to take hold. An algaecide is useful if your tub has green staining or a slimy feel to it.

Usage Guidelines for Hot Tub Chemicals

Hot tub cleaning requires the right chemicals and a little care and attention. That
means always following the manufacturer’s instructions, including testing your
water to understand what it needs.

Using your chemicals correctly prevents damage to your hot tub — and irritation to your skin.

Here are some tips you should always follow:

Proper Dosage

Whatever chemical you use, check the pack and never veer away from the recommended dosage.

Water Testing

Perform a water test before you start adding any chemicals to your hot tub.

Chemical Order

Some chemicals need to be added in a specific order to prevent adverse reactions. Check the pack and always follow the instructions.

Dilution

Never just pour chemicals directly into the hot tub — there will be clear dilution instructions on the pack.

Ventilation

Chemicals may produce fumes, so make sure the area has good airflow before you start.

Storage

Always store chemicals safely. Make sure they’re away from direct sunlight or moisture, and out of the reach of children.

Personal Safety

Gloves and goggles will help protect you from splashes and a mask may help you cope with any fumes or strong odors.

Some chemical kits offer intelligent dispensers, offering hot tub chemical automation that makes cleaning and maintenance even simpler. Ask our team about the best chemicals or kits for your hot tub.
